Madlygood is probably a name that is more familiar to those residing in the west. With their very first outlet being situated at JCube right beside the skating rink at the mall, Madlygood had since opened a second outpost also in the west recently — conveniently located in The Clementi Mall, they are located at Level 5 of the mall. Whilst the food preparation area and the counter are located within a shop unit, the dine-in area is situated along the shopping aisle; most of the tables catering to groups of 4 pax. Offering a slightly smaller variety of gelatos that their JCube outlet serves up due to the smaller display chiller here, Madlygood’s menu at The Clementi Mall also features waffles, crepes and pancakes, as well as French Toast, Croffles and Croissants; beverages here include specialty coffee, tea, natural sodas, milkshakes / floats, and ice-blended drinks — a decent variety where there seems to be something for everyone.
Had quite a filling lunch before making our way here and decided to skip on the various hot food items that they have to offer; found ourselves going for the Oat Milk Chocolate Ganache Gelato to be served in a cup — the gelato flavour being one that caught our attention whilst we were skimming through the flavours that are available in their display chiller. Whilst the oat milk element doesn’t seem to be particularly evident in the scoop of gelato that we had, we did feel that it may have contributed to its extremely rich and dense texture which made the Oat Milk Chocolate Ganache Gelato especially luxurious. Just simply chocolate through and through, the gelato didn’t feel particularly jelak from cream or milk elements; it’s especially decadent, yet not being particularly “heaty” as well. A decent pairing with the Honey Lavender Espresso Latte that we also opted for — the frothed milk does seem to be purposely overdone here to form that “cap” above the coffee, but otherwise was a decent cuppa with a light body and earthy flavour profile that perfumes of a light floral fragrance of lavender and just a light touch of sweetness from the honey.
Madlygood has been a spot that we had been returning to on-and-off for gelato whilst being around JCube — their flavours offered these days are less inventive than what they had been doing previously for the last couple of years, though we still find them being a little under-the-radar considering they are not usually a name that is mentioned often for gelato in the west. That being said, we do prefer their The Clementi Mall outlet for its slightly more spacious environment despite being located in between the shopping aisles. Expect some teething issues here considering how they have opened not too long ago; none too bothersome though definitely should iron out over time — a convenient spot for Clementi residents to hang out over some sweets and coffee.
