Lau Pa Sat in SG

Cycling around SG and on the F1 race track!

After cycling our way around downtown Singapore, we needed to recharge and eat! Hawker Food in SG has always fascinated me and during this trip, we decided to try several of them.

Lau Pa Sat

Lau Pa Sat which literally means old market is located at the city center. From Bugis, we rode the East-west line (green line) and went down to Raffles. From there is was a 5 minute walk to Lau Pa Sat.

Satay : Beef, Chicken, Mutton or Shrimp

There was a lot of food stalls inside the food center but people go there for the Satay located at the street behind Lau Pa Sat. We were at a loss on what or where to eat. There were no lines just people approaching you to try their food.








 We met a Cebuana named Cely who has been working everyday for 4 hrs for the past 12 years in Lau Pa sat. She recommended their fried rice (no shrimp) and Sambal Stingray. I have never been a fan of sting ray as food so we opted for crispy squid in sweet and sour sauce. We also ordered kailan with oyster sauce as well as 10 sticks of satay (beef and chicken).

Milk tea and Red lemonade

While waiting, Paul trooped to the stall selling drinks. He got Milk tea and Red lemonade. The Milk tea was in bad need of sugar (but Paul liked it as it was) and the red lemonade tasted like kalamansi juice.










The food came after 10 mins sans the satay. Pay as food is delivered. Total cost was 25 SGD. The squid was delightfully crispy and the sauce was not overpowering the squid. The rice well, is just fried rice. The veggie was cooked perfectly and very tasty.





The Satay came after a few minutes more (0.60 SGD each). it was served with peanut dipping sauce. The pinoy in me still love the sweet salty barbeque we have back home. The peanut dip was just Ok, nothing spectacular.

Beef and Chicken satay

Total SGD 35 (including drinks) pretty pricy for hawker food but the amount was good enough to feed three people.
