Abstract
Built in 1891, the Orchard Road Market, known colloquially as “Tang Leng Pa Sat” or “Tanglin Pa Sat”, used to occupy the site where Orchard Point is located today. The Orchard Road Market was known to sell the freshest goods at higher prices compared to other markets in Singapore, which was attributed to its wealthier European clientele. The market was torn down by the Urban Redevelopment Authority and replaced by Orchard Point in 1982. Its stalls were resettled in Cuppage Centre in 1978.
