sure the building is iconic and beautiful. but the food is average. we got information from the web that this hawker is still open until pass midnight. but when we got there, there's a lot of stall already closed so it didnt left us with many choice.

Nothing to complain about the place ..... it is just average. Not a place I will travel to just for its food. Very useful for the financial district crowd - comparatively cheap food vs the expensive eateries in that area.

Opened with much fanfare and pretty over rated and more for the CBD working crowd and also for tourist. Can get better food elsewhere

Lao Pa Sat is a food complex with so many choices which you could eat here for days. The price is CHEAP. This place is a true representative of Singapore where evey culture merge together nicely, its fusion. It lights up especially at night when the satay BBQ has started. Read through a lot of comments about this place, it... More

We arrived at the hawker centre and then looked around for the street of satay stalls that get set up every evening at 7pm. It wasn't hard to spot. As I had read, we were immediately confronted by satay touts, trying to get us to order from their stall. We walked up the street and back to the stall 8... More

A great hawker centre in the middle of the CBD. Really great options. No one will go hungry. Some evenings (weekends?) offer satay choices outside when they close off the street. Really good, but hot and humid to be outside.

Good for people who look for variety in food. The smell and crowd with the litter is an off factor for me. Never keen to go there even though its the nearest from my office!

If you do go to Lau Pa Sat and wish to try satay, the best I would recommend is Fatman Satay (Stall no 1). These satay stalls ar set up at the side road after the road is closed off to traffic in the evening. When facing the row of stay stalls from the road, Fatman Satay is located at... More
