Lau Pa Sat
As Chinatown is Singapore's oldest ethnic quarter and within close proximity to mature housing estates, it is no wonder that you find dozens of hawker stalls in this area.
A popular place for tourists remains Lau Pa Sat (18 Raffles Quay) festival market, built in 1894 and the largest remaining Victorian filigree cast-iron structure in Southeast Asia.
Today it houses a variety of stalls, ranging from Indian to Chinese. It is the satay stalls, however, that stop traffic - literally. In the evenings, Boon Tat Street running by the side of the market is closed to traffic and converted into rows satay stalls and tables which operate until the wee hours of the morning.
