Built in 1894, Lau Pa Sat (meaning “Old Market” in Hokkien) on Boon Tat Street is a gazetted national monument and the largest Victorian filigree cast-iron structure still standing in Southeast Asia. During the day, this food centre caters mostly to the office crowd. At dusk, Boon Tat Road is closed to traffic and pushcarts hawking teh tarik (hand-pulled milk tea), barbequed meats and seafood line the street. This is local al fresco dining at its best. The food is tasty and inexpensive, the choices are plentiful and table manners are optional. Eating with your hands is fine and you won’t have to worry about the children tugging on the table cloths because there won’t be any.
