Celebrate Lau Pa Sat’s 130th anniversary and admire the new 10-metre mural by local mural artist and painter Yip Yew Chong. The striking mural is located at the external wall of Lau Pa Sat, and you’ll notice a seamless transition between the hawker’s founding days as the famous Telok Ayer Market that opened in 1824, to what it is today as one of the busiest lunchtime destinations in the area. Don’t miss this chance to view Yip Yew Chong’s masterpiece, possibly his last in a long time. While you’re there, swing by Lau Pa Sat’s retail store, Food Folks, to get your hands on illustrator Ah Guo’s new merchandise depicting the beloved hawker centre’s rich history.
