About Liang Court

 

Opened in 1983, Liang Court at Clarke Quay is known to Singaporeans as the mall to go to for our Japanese fix, with stalwart tenants offering authentic Japanese merchandise, dining, and services, such as MEIDI-YA Supermarket, Tamoya Udon, and Barber Minami. 

With the year-end festivities soon upon us, here are 9 new reasons to visit Liang Court for your shopping, dining and beauty fix!
