Boon Tat Street

The stretch of Boon Tat Street beside Lau Pa Sat is closed to vehicular traffic at night, and stalls selling satay and dining areas then line up along the street.

Boon Tat Street (simplified Chinese: 文达街; traditional Chinese: 文達街; pinyin: Wén dá jiē) is in the Downtown Core in the Central Area of Singapore. The street extends from Amoy Street at its western end to the junction of Shenton Way and Raffles Quay.

A portion of the street adjacent to Lau Pa Sat is closed in the evening for stalls selling satay. Boon Tat Street has been labeled as a heritage site by the Urban Redevelopment Authority.

The Hokkiens called this street as ma cho kiong pi (beside the ma cho temple), referring to the Thian Hock Keng temple at Telok Ayer Street.
