Can NTUC increase the cleaners in Lau Pat Sat, it's extremely unsanitary, tray collection stations are full during peak periods, and no cleaners really wipe down the tables.

Old people are inefficient, replace all the cleaners with robots and you get actually clean Lau Pa Sat.

More cleaners means higher food prices...this is a clear trend among all the kopitiam chains.

No offence but…just get a tissue to wipe off then if u want to be really clean wet wipe? My 2 must bring when I’m out eating, meeting someone overseas they love to go there for some reason. Then while waiting you can do all these mah no really much of a deal

I was there 22 Jul 2024. Had difficulties finding which store took part in the Monday promotion. Went to a store number 7 satay they said they not involved and asked me to find management. It was about 540 pm. Went to drink store asked where was management. She couldn't tell me just pointed me outside, she also not sure where was management. Later went to another store, they managed to point me to a store with black shirt ppl. I was there at the correct store 6 pm but a black shirt ppl sternly asked me to go away as they started at 7 pm and did not want me to be on the road. So I went to eat other things, when I came back 635 pm a queue had formed of about 20 people and all were standing on the road. Later a dispute occurred when a lady wanted to stop queue cutting from happening behind her, I noted staff generally did not side with her. I think it was someone protecting a space for someone else. Quite disappointing performance of the staff. In fact one young staff openly said he won't be handling such matter with a smirk on his face before walking off. Overall quite an unhappy situation

Waiitt.... Question: When did Lau Pa Sat look like the Lau Pa Sat that we see today with the iconic steel beams and colonial inspired architecture? 1973 when it's converted into a food centre or 1833 when it was renovated?

That place is a known tourist trap.

So sad, Singapore is losing all the good food at (sustainable &) affordable prices, what will eventually happen is we will only have those very high prices "luxury" food.😢 extremely high land prices will affect the consumers when the firms no choice but to keep raising prices due to ever increasing rental...
