One of my favourite hawker centres in Singapore is the Telok Ayer Market. This food court – also known as Lau Pa Sat – is in a heritage building that is worth a visit in its own right.
While a Singapore foodie might tell you there are a dozen other hawker centres that are better, for me I like this market for the combination of food, its location, and the building itself.
The Location
In downtown Singapore the transformation of the city into a global business hub is complete. Here you will find canyons of tall buildings, with financial institutions from around the world represented here.
Even though the city has made a point to preserve any historical architecture that remains, in the downtown area nothing has been spared except for this one corner which is home to the Telok Ayer Market.
The market is close to the Raffles Place metro station, which is on the EW line that goes to the airport. On my last trip to Singapore I had an afternoon flight so instead of transferring metro lines at Raffles Place, I got off and went for one more lunch.
