由来
  • 建于1825年的老巴刹原称为“直落亚逸巴刹”（Telok Ayer Market）。“巴刹”音译自马来语的 pasar，指菜市场。
  • 老巴刹是新加坡的第一座巴刹，在1822年由莱佛士爵士（Sir Stamford Raffles）谕令建造并由新加坡首位驻扎官兼指挥官法夸尔（William Farquhar）选址的，设在直落亚逸弯（Telok Ayer Basin），当时只是一座简单的木制建筑。
  • 1833年，直落亚逸巴刹在原地重建为砖砌建筑。这座砖砌建筑由著名建筑师哥里门（George Coleman）设计，整体设计中以维多利亚式的八角形屋顶闻名。
  • 1845年，英国殖民地政府在哥里门桥（Coleman Bridge）沿河一带建起了新加坡第二座巴刹——爱伦坡巴刹（Ellenborough Market）。人们将这座巴刹称为“新巴刹”，并将直落亚逸巴刹称为“老巴刹”（俗称 lau pa sat）。
  • 1879年，老巴刹因填土计划而再次关闭，直到1894年才搬迁到哥烈码头（Collyer Quay）的新填土地段重新开业，直到今天。负责重建老巴刹的工程师麦里芝（James MacRitchie）保留了八角形屋顶设计。
  • 老巴刹原本是个菜市场，但在1972年翻新后成为一个只售卖熟食的小贩中心。
  • 老巴刹于1973年获列为国家古迹。
  • 1986年，老巴刹因地铁隧道工程而被拆除，直到1989年才在原址修复重建，并于1992年重新开业。
ETYMOLOGY
  • Built in 1825, Lau Pa Sat was originally known as Telok Ayer Market. The Mandarin term “巴刹” is the transliteration of the Malay pasar, which refers to a market.
  • Lau Pa Sat is Singapore’s first market. Its construction was commissioned in 1822 by order of Sir Stamford Raffles. Its location at Telok Ayer Basin was chosen by William Farquhar, Singapore’s first Resident and Commandant. At that time, Lau Pa Sat was a simple timber building.
  • In 1833, the market was rebuilt in brick at the same location, to a design by architect George Coleman, and was noted for its octagonal Victorianstyle roof.
  • In 1845, a second market, known as Ellenborough Market, was built along the Singapore River near Coleman Bridge. The local Chinese referred to it colloquially as “新巴刹” (“new market”), and Telok Ayer Market came to be referred to as “老巴刹” (“old market”, colloquially known as lau pa sat).
  • Lau Pa Sat was closed again in 1879 to make way for land reclamation. In 1894, it reopened at its present location on the newly reclaimed land behind Collyer Quay. The engineer responsible for rebuilding the market, James MacRitchie, retained the octagonal roof design.
  • Lau Pa Sat was originally a wet market. However, in 1972, it was converted into a hawker centre and now only sells cooked food.
  • Lau Pa Sat was gazetted as a national monument in 1973.
  • In 1986, Lau Pa Sat was dismantled due to the construction of MRT tunnels. It was rebuilt at the original site starting in 1989 and reopened in 1992.
