An open air foodcourt, slightly modelled after the old Satay Club and selling local hawker fare, will be opening at Gardens by the Bay on Jan 15.

The 2,000 sq m Satay by the Bay with eight pushcarts selling satay, will have an outdoor area where diners can sit at low tables and stools.

This is reminiscent of the former Satay Club which closed in 1995, said Mr Alex Neo, managing director of Planar One & Associates, the company that runs the place.

There will be 26 other carts selling among other things, seafood and barbecued chicken wings.

The 1,000-seater foodcourt will have a rustic look and feature energy-saving features like a green roof.

A shuttle bus service, starting in February, will pick up visitors from Marina Bay MRT station, Shenton Way and Cecil Street.
