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’re looking to satisfy different food cravings in one seating, check out Boleh Boleh!, a food court with over 100 halal local and regional hawker dishes.
There is the Chilli Pan Mee ($5.50/$7.30) which hails from KL, complete with mouth-watering chilli sauce and a variety of toppings. Boleh Boleh! also serves other Asian hawker delights, such as Claypot Chicken Rice ($5.50) and Roasted Chicken Rice ($4.80) which make for delicious comfort fare after shopping.

Satisfy your sweet tooth in classic fashion with Mei Heong Yuen Dessert.

For something fruity and cold, order their Watermelon & Lychee ($8), a shaved ice dessert served with jelly, lychee, and pearls.
Otherwise, their Mango Roll ($4.50) is a tasty option if you love the tropical fruit, as each roll contains mango nestled in QQ mochi skin. For something warming, get their Glutinous Rice Ball in Ginger Soup ($4), with sesame and peanut fillings.

The Clementi Mall has a selection of Korean eateries, and Ha Jun is one of them. Here, you can get halal-certified Korean dishes that you know and love. Try their Hotplate Beef ($7.50), where a honeyed bulgolgi-style sauce gives the thin slices of beef a touch of smokiness.
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.

They’ve also got other hearty Western dishes, including Fish & Chips ($14.80+) and Crispy Fried Chicken ($11.80+) for something more indulgent!

Another familiar Japanese fave in The Clementi Mall food lineup is Ichiban Sushi. This family-friendly establishment is your one-stop destination for a wide variety of Japanese mains.
Their Unagi Bento Gozen ($29.90++) gives you the best of all worlds with teriyaki unagi, saba fish, sashimi, tempura prawns, and teriyaki chicken, served alongside rice and miso soup. If you usually go for beef don, upgrade your order to the Beef Steak Mentai Don ($18.90++), where grilled beef is served with a torched mentaiko mayo for added savouriness. Sides like the Salmon Mentai Roll ($15.90++) and Cheesy Gyoza ($8.90++) come highly recommended too.

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.

Here’s another dessert spot to check out: Smile Dessert. There’s bound to be something that will tickle your fancy as you can get traditional desserts, Korean bingsu, and even souffle pancakes here.
For an equally delicious and gorgeous dessert, get the Multi Layer Sweet Potato Cake ($9.90). This features layers of crepes, cream, and purple sweet potato. If you prefer something more traditional, we recommend their Mango Ice With Rice Ball ($6.90). This bowl comes with a handful of mango chunks and rice balls in a bed of mango ice, and then topped with mango ice cream as the finishing touch.
