Lau Pa Sat
📍 Singapore Singapore CBD
Lau Pa Sat is a food hall in the heart of the central business district, set in a historic market building. It's good for a quick hawker meal during the day, and in the evening the atmosphere of the surrounding Satay Street adds to the experience.
Operating hours vary by stall, and seats can be hard to find during meal peaks. If you're going with several people, it's more efficient to secure seats first and split up to order.

Useful tips
- The evening Satay Street is affected by weather and on-site operations, so check the notices there.
- Seat competition is strong during the business district lunch rush, so slightly earlier or later hours are recommended.
- When you're planning dinner, you may wonder whether to aim for the indoor hawker menus or Satay Street. According to official guidance, Satay Street opens on Boon Tat Street in the evening, so keep your expectations separate from a daytime meal.
- Official guidance lists Downtown, Raffles Place, Shenton Way, and Telok Ayer as nearby MRT stations. Choosing different stations to enter and exit, based on the direction of your accommodation, makes the trip easier.
