Telok Ayer Market
Telok Ayer Market also known colloquially as ''Lau Pa Sat'' ("old market"), is a historic building in Singapore, and is located in Downtown Core within the Central Area, Singapore's central business district. It is currently a food centre. There are several shops inside the market such as a 24 hours Cheers Store, a shoe repair shop, a tailor and a laundry store. In the evenings on the weekend a live band plays at the stage in the middle of the market.
==Etymology==
In the early nineteenth century, Telok Ayer Market was a simple wooden building, located on piles just over the waters of Telok Ayer Bay and hence the market's name. The Malay name ''Telok Ayer'' means "water bay" as the coastal road Telok Ayer Street lies alongside the bay.
Because of its Victorian iron structure, the market is referred to in Malay as ''pasar besi'' (market of iron).
''Lau'' means old; ''pa sat'' is the Hokkien pronunciation of the Persian loanword bazaar (market). Therefore, Lau Pa Sat means the old market among Chinese Singaporean. During the day many bankers from Shenton Way converge there for a good hearty lunch.
