释义

名词

爱伦坡巴刹（Ellenborough Market）的俗称。原位于新加坡河畔，毗邻余东旋街（Eu Tong Sen Street）。

DEFINITION

Noun

The colloquial name of Ellenborough Market, which was located on the bank of Singapore River, off Eu Tong Sen Street.

由来
  • 1845年，爱伦坡巴刹由当时的英国殖民地政府建成。“巴刹”音译自马来语的 pasar，指菜市场。
  • 爱伦坡巴刹以1841至1844年担任印度总督的爱伦坡勋爵（Lord Ellenborough）命名。
  • 由于爱伦坡巴刹是继直落亚逸巴刹（Telok Ayer Market，俗称 “老巴刹” [Lau Pa Sat ]）之后在市区内建成的第二座巴刹，因此俗称为“新巴刹”。
  • 新巴刹附近为潮州人的聚落，因此巴刹内大部分小贩售卖的是潮州美食。新巴刹也以售卖海鲜产品闻名。
  • 1968年，适逢农历新年，新巴刹附近因有人燃烧爆竹而导致邻近的一排摊档失火。由于事发时间为凌晨，因此未能及时避免火势蔓延，致使新巴刹近乎烧毁，约1,000名小贩受影响。新巴刹的鱼贩之后搬到了裕廊渔场（Jurong Fishery Port）营业。
  • 1970年代，新加坡政府在新巴刹的原址兴建政府组屋、巴刹及熟食中心。
  • 1996年，为进行地铁东北线的建造工程，位于新巴刹原址的组屋区被政府征收。
  • 新巴刹的原址现为中央城（Clarke Quay Central）购物中心一带。
ETYMOLOGY
  • In 1845, Ellenborough Market was built by the British colonial government. The Mandarin term “巴刹” is the transliteration of the Malay word pasar, which means “market”.
  • Ellenborough Market was named after Lord Ellenborough, who served as the Governor-General of India from 1841 to 1844.
  • As Ellenborough Market was the second market built in the city area, after Telok Ayer Market, it became colloquially known as “新巴刹” (“new market”), while Telok Ayer Market became “老巴刹” (“old market”) or Lau Pa Sat.
  • As Ellenborough Market was located in an area with a large Teochew population, many vendors in and around the market sold Teochew foodstuff and dishes. The market was also famous for its seafood.
  • During Lunar New Year in 1968, a row of stalls nearby caught fire from firecrackers close to Ellenborough Market. As this happened in the early hours of the morning, the spread of the blaze could not be contained, resulting in the devastation of almost the entire Ellenborough Market and affecting about 1,000 hawkers. Subsequently, the fishmongers of Ellenborough Market moved their operations to Jurong Fishery Port.
  • In the 1970s, the Government built Housing & Development Board flats, a market and a hawker centre at the original site of Ellenborough Market.
  • In 1996, the housing estate was acquired by the Government for the construction of the Mass Rapid Transit North East Line.
  • The original site of Ellenborough Market is now occupied by Clarke Quay Central mall.
