Welcome to Clementi. Looking for Newly Opened places?

This is what I need to cool down on another hot, scorching day — Beating the soaring temperatures 😎 with this satisfying gelato that’s rich, creamy with an intense flavour. So nice.

Their pistachio gelato is great as usual! Smooth, roasty nutty pistachio goodness, but not overly thick (so it’s not so gelat). I looove!!

The coffee dalgona had a nice strong coffee taste, but I wish they would do away with the dalgona bit (honeycomb swirled in, if I remember correctly) as those parts were too sweet.

The pear was very refreshing and pleasant, and had pear bits in it that gave textural variation. We liked it!

Add $1 for 2 pieces of fried beancurd or 1 cup of ice lemon tea( weekday lunch promo)

Conveniently located within clementi mall, so easily accessible with clementi mrt just beside. It was only opened recently and the decor of the place looks very posh.

Newddle serves quite a solid bowl of noodles. The Char siew is really the star of the bowl, its fatty, its tasty, it was tender to eat and not dry whatsoever.

The wanton/dumpling was damn huge.

With the free add-on noodles, really eat damn full.

The Gift Box Confections prides itself on serving hand-baked desserts that are not only halal but also lower in sugar. Their confections are crafted from their very own recipes and made using the finest ingredients; their Mini Basque Burnt Cheesecakes ($4 each) can attest to that! These come in flavours such as Original, Biscoff, Matcha, and Milo.

Madlygood Nutella Brownies Crepe with Ice Cream. I quite like the texture of their crepe.

Can tell it's earl grey

Just wanted to talk about their excellent service, we had a bit of a situation and they were really nice about it, even offering a drink on the house.

Thank you very much

Normal portion comes w mushroom minced meat as well, though a lot less. It's pretty savoury and has a good bite

Noodles were the same and it's not too bad actually. Mainly savoury dark sauce, good bite as well

Soup was quite nice, ckn soup that's similar to laifabar's

The cha bu duo char siew was quite tender and had a mild smokiness. Better than the other two char siews

Overall this was a decent bowl

Apologies for the photo

Free noodle add on but normal portion is actl quite enough

This comes with pork belly and pork jowl char siew. The belly absolutely sucks, really tough and dry. Pork jowl was fatty and passably flavourful but no crisp at all

Wanton had a CP shrimp wanton-like filling which was nice but the skin was way too thick. Ajitama was decent too

Overall pretty lackluster

Heard about this new noodle place that had recently opened its doors within The Clementi Mall named Newddles — a pretty apt name considering how they have called themselves “The Next Noodle House”. Taking over the former premises of Eng’s Heritage within the mall, the remnants of the decor from the previous tenant remains rather stark; the designs of the counter and walls are pretty reminiscent of the look that Eng’s Heritage had created when they first took over the space — just painted with a different colour scheme. The menu at Newddles comprises of individually portioned noodles that feature some sort of Char Siew; think items such as the Char-Newddle with Charcoal Pork Jowl Char Siew and the Char-Newddle Cha Bu Duo Mian, whilst the section dedicated to side dishes include items such as the Flying Fish Roe Shrimp Wanton Soup, Golden Crispy Handmade Tofu and the Oyster Sauce Hong Kong Kailan. Beverage options generally revolve around rather interesting home-brewed tea options such as the Apple Green Tea and the Snow Pear Pu Er Tea, as well as HongKong Milk Tea and canned drinks.

It was pretty much a no-brainer for us to settle for the Signature Char-Newddle (Dry) — essentially the full works here that feature elements such as their custom egg noodles soaked in a secret mix of sauces with Charcoal Pork Belly Char Siew and Charcoal Pork Jowl Char Siew. For those who are looking to try a soup rendition of the same dish, one may opt for the Signature Char-Newddle (Soup) as well. Giving the noodles a good toss around the sauce, the sauce (along with the bits of minced pork) does provide the noodles with a savoury note; one thing to note about their noodles is how their noodles do seem to carry quite a firm bite in general — they are also a little bit thicker than the usual egg noodles that we are familiar with that typically comes with Wanton Mee. Moving on to the two different cuts of Char Siew that came with the bowl, we found this to be a rather interesting move — the two different cuts of Char Siew seem to provide an alternating contrast of Char Siew that is fatty and gelatinous against the same that has a more balanced ratio of fattiness to leaner parts; both being somewhat on the sweeter side having seemingly been done closer to the Malaysian-style roast somewhat. Whilst the inclusion of one Flying Fish Roe Shrimp Wanton was a good addition, we only wished that the texture of the wanton could be a little bit more delicate here — no doubt well-filled with a good bite, though it does feel a little stiffer than what we would liked it to be. Was pretty glad how they did not miss out on the Lava Egg here — seemingly a must-have in every new-gen noodle stall for that slight fusion touch; the eggs here are well-marinated in soy sauce, and does come with a molten yolk that is especially flavourful. Another interesting touch here would be the crispy wanton skin tangy they have included with the dish; liked how the wanton skin still maintained its crispness without being limp or soaking with oil — a great addition to introduce yet another dimension of texture to the bowl of noodles.

While some may lament how the Signature Char-Newddle (also essentially the full works) is not quite as affordable to be considered as a daily eat given how it is being priced at $12.90 and $13.90 for the dry and soup variants respectively, we do note that there are more affordable options at Newddles priced below $10 such as the Char-Newddle Cha Bu Duo Mian (i.e. the lean char siew variant) at $7.80 and the Char-Newddle Charcoal Pork Belly Char Siew at $9.80. That being said, we do notice an uprising of F&B establishments that seem to revolve around Char Siew and Roast Pork in general — a more commercial name at the point of writing is Tun Xiang 豚香, whilst a more indie establishment which we visited would be ten tenths at Havelock II. Would say that Newddles does certainly add as a great dining choice in the area given their quality, though the lack of variety of meat apart from Char Siew in their noodles would mean that they are leaving some out — a spot we would not mind dining again at if within Clementi as long as they keep to the standards they have set during our visit.

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.

Return to Str Tao Taiwan Cuisine stall for their deep-fried snacks. Ooh, both the crispy chicken cubes and sweet potato fries dusted with salt and plum powder are so yummy & addictive!

One thing about Dawn's, it has very good ice cream without a doubt.

The Speculoos flavoured ice cream was surprisingly good. The waffle was hot and crispy.

Would look alot better with some chocolate syrup and looks quite plain.
