We were taken here by our Singapore friends. The place doesn't look much but it's a Singapore institution. We had beers, fresh juices and fabulous satays all for an amazing cheap price. It's very casual and relaxing although in the financial business district. The Satays were the best I've eaten in Singapore, far better than at a five star hotel... More

This is pretty much the same as any hawker centre. food isnt any better or worse. the touts for satay can be very offensive and over charge. Best go with a local.

Arrive just before lunch time before the office staff if you can. Have a wander around and then if you see a queue forming - join it. Impossible to spend much and everything is worth trying!

Delicious food , chilled beer and setting. Full of character and locals eating. Ate at loads of hawker places in our visit to Singapore and KL, going back tonight for more satay. Try the "chendol" ice dessert......interesting.

I visited my friend who is from Singapore, and Lau Pa Sat was on her list of food courts to take me to. There are a lot of good food courts in Singapore, but this is a particular favorite of mine. It's not the cleanest or most well organized, but it did feel very authentic to me and not just... More

We love food!!!! And we love variety with a great atmosphere! We sat outside in one of the stands where we could identify more locals (this is one of the best tricks for finding good food) Great prawn satays!!!!!

Centrally located and within walking distance of Raffles Place MRT (exit I) is Lau Pa Sat festival pavillion. By day, it is not your typical tourist trap - it is a fully functioning "food court" where a good majority of CBD workers are snagging communal seats (with tissue packets), paying with their kopitiam payment card and grabbing their lunch time...

It is amazing to me that there are still places in Singapore that are 'normal', and the way Singapore used to be... In a city/ country where they fine you $900 for smuggling a pack(!) of unopened cigarettes or for eating/drinking on the subway, where you need to spend a minimum of $3000 in some of the night clubs, and...

Singapores oldest food court offers you a wide range of loca and SEA kitchen food. Try to be carefull and avoid the seafood scammers, than its an enjoyable place.

It is an amazing place, there are around 114 stalls and you will find different kinds of cuisines, Korean, Italian, Indian and the list goes on... Great place to visit with Friends, avoid lunch time from 12-2pm as it is very crowded, during evenings there are Satay stalls, great idea to grab a beer and enjoy sizzling Satay.
