The take

Once the street closes to cars in the evening, satay stalls fill Boon Tat Street beside Lau Pa Sat's Victorian iron market. This is the Lau Pa Sat people mean at night. There's no ticket. Agree how many sticks you want before the grilling starts, or a mountain arrives.

Good to know

Free to walk in; you pay per stick of satay

Boon Tat Street closes to cars after 7pm, and the satay grills take over the road

If the street's packed, head into the Victorian iron market hall behind it

Finding it: Boon Tat Street, beside Lau Pa Sat at 18 Raffles Quay. The nearest stations are Telok Ayer and Downtown MRT

Before you go

What time does Satay Street open on weekends?

Satay Street opens at 3pm on weekends and at 7pm on weekdays, and closes at 3am. The grills set up on Boon Tat Street itself, beside Lau Pa Sat. We'd go at the weekend for an early dinner, then walk it off past the Victorian market hall of Lau Pa Sat.

How many satay stalls are there at Satay Street?

Lau Pa Sat describes Satay Street as the largest open-air satay street in Singapore, with nine satay carts on Boon Tat Street. We'd order a few sticks from several carts rather than queue at one. The operator also posts a hawker directory on its site if you want to see who is who.
