Lau Pa Sat
Singapore Lau Pa Sat is situated right at the heart of Singapore’s Centre District (CBD) and is a place where all tourists must not miss. It was built in 1894 and is the largest remaining Victorian filigree cast-iron structure in Southeast Asia. It was formerly a wet market known as Telok Ayer market and is now restored to a hawker centre at CBD area offering a wide range of Singapore local food
Day time
During day time beside the Victorian building structure, the hawker is nothing different from others hawker centre. The food it served could be found in most of the hawker centre and food court around Singapore. At lunch time (12 to 1 p.m) it is packed with people from the neighboring offices around the hawker centre but the hawker centre is special during the night
