1. Lau Pa Sat — Raffles Place
A Victorian market hall full of hawker stalls, with Satay Street at night.
Lau Pa Sat is a cast-iron octagonal market from the 1890s in the middle of the CBD, now a hawker centre with dozens of stalls selling everything from chicken rice and laksa to Indian and Western food. In the evening, Boon Tat Street closes to traffic and fills with satay grills.
It is the cheapest good meal in Marina Bay and a sight in its own right.
Good to know: Come after 7pm for Satay Street, and order satay by the stick at the numbered stalls.
