Lau Pa Sat

老巴刹 is the nearest hawker hall to the bay. The octagonal cast-iron market stands at 18 Raffles Quay. It is a national monument. The hall is 24 hours. Stalls are not. Office lunch is the weekday use. After 19:00 on weekdays, and from 15:00 on weekends, Boon Tat Street closes to cars and becomes Satay Street. Official hours: weekdays 19:00–03:00, weekends 15:00–03:00, on laupasat.sg/sataystreet. Charcoal satay, not a photo alley. This is a market. Split Boon Tat Street into its own street row only if the page is the satay night, not the hall. Satay by the Bay at the gardens is closed. Do not send readers there. Raffles Place MRT is three minutes. There is no wet market and no community club on the reclaimed bay. This hall is the CBD substitute.
