Food at The Clementi Mall
Located in the heart of Clementi is The Clementi Mall, a hub most Westies would have explored because of its direct connection to the MRT Station and bus interchange, as well as the multiple schools located nearby. Within the mall’s directory of over 150 stores is a lengthy selection of places to eat. If you ever find yourself in the area and peckish, read on for our The Clementi Mall food guide so you know where’s best to dine.
The mall has a “shop & earn” programme called S³ Rewards, where you can enjoy a broad selection of member-exclusive promotions and redeem rewards when you dine at these eateries!

If you prefer soupy fare, get the Korean Ginseng Chicken ($8.50) for soul-warming broth that isn’t too bitter, with tender chicken to savour, or the Korean Seafood Steamboat ($9.90) to share with your loved ones.

Eighteen Chefs is a culinary institution in its own right and a familiar sight to many Singaporeans, especially because of its famous Heart Attack Fried Rice.

Swensen’s remains a go-to restaurant for many of us craving Western fare, especially if we’re dining with the family. Plus, they’re halal-certified! Their time-tested classics such as their Fish & Chips ($17.50++) still please to this day, with flaky fish and golden fries.
Swensen’s menu also has dishes that cater to local tastes, so look out for fusion options such as their Bagus Burger ($16.90++), an upsized spin on a Ramly Burger with Impossible meat. Their Goreng Pisang Split ($13.80++) is well-worth an order too.
