The Mural at Lau Pa Sat at Boon Tat Street, painted in Feb 2024.
This mural marks the 200th year of the establishment of the ‘Old Market’, and the 130th year of the building now known as Lau Pa Sat. From a fish market by the sea, it has evolved into an iconic day and night hawker market in the middle of Singapore’s business district, all which sit on reclaimed land. The panorama morphed whimsically across two centuries. From shoreline to skyline, from day to night, from local to international cusine options.
Try spotting these fun elements: the chicken ‘choping’ the seat, the run-away crab, the coolie Jacquermart striking the bells of the clock tower, naughty children “fishing” chicken wings, and a grumpy cat eating satay. Have fun!
