The least conventional a meal is, the most I enjoy the food. I like to say 'La gastronomie, c'est la liberte'. I love foodcourts for that very reason. On a foodcourt I can have as many courses as I want, in the order I want or all at the same time, I can mix Indian and Malaysian specialties, I can share everything I've ordered and I can choose how long my meal will take. For its wide variety of local food, its informal, chaotic atmosphere, its remarkable Victorian filigree cast-iron structure and its central location, Lau Pa Sat Food Center is one of my favorite eating places in Singapore. Freedom is not easy to deal with: deciding where and what to eat can be an intimidating, yet at the same time, exciting experience! If you're particularly uninspired on your visit there, chicken, mutton and beef satay (bite-sized pieces of meat grilled on skewers served with a spicy peanut sauce, the Muslim version) will be a safe bet. In Lau Pa Sat, an entire street is dedicated to satay stalls, so you can't basically go wrong. In business terms, fierce competition, combined with a demanding, volatile customer base, results in optimal offer -meaning, fresh and great quality food.
