Lau Pa Sat

Lau Pa Sat, also known as Telok Ayer Market, is a historic food center in Singapore, originally built in 1824 as a fish market. It is renowned for being one of the oldest Victorian structures in Southeast Asia and the first prefabricated cast iron building in the region. The market has undergone several reconstructions, with its current form completed in 1894, featuring a distinctive octagonal design supported by cast-iron pillars. Today, it serves as a vibrant food court offering a variety of local cuisines, making it a must-visit destination for tourists and researchers interested in Singapore's culinary heritage and architectural history.
