Similar to its first outlet at Liang Court, Meidi-Ya Great World City offers both a shopping and dining experience—it’s as good as flying to Japan! Hokkaido Dosanko Plaza offers Hokkaido snacks, while those who want a sit-down meal can visit the neighbouring casual dining food court.

The dining experience transports you to Hokkaido with Singapore’s first Sapporo Nishiyama ramen stall. Nishiyama Seimen, a Hokkaido-based ramen and gyoza manufacturer, sets foot in Singapore with Sapporo-style noodles. Ramen prices start from $15.90, which will get you a bowl of shoyu ramen with chashu. Different broth options are available including shio, tonkotsu, and miso.

The adjacent gyoza kiosk provides quality dumplings, which are flown in frozen from the brand’s Sapporo factory. These gyoza are made with Hokkaido-grown wheat wrappers and cooked at the stall upon ordering, and are priced at $6 for five pieces, with the choice of Green Sapporo Gyoza stuffed with pork and kumazasa (striped bamboo) or spicy Red Sapporo Gyoza.
