Article 1 - Clementi West Street 1 & 2 HDB
Clementi West is a relatively quiet corner of the Clementi estate. Unofficially, the main Clementi area will be considered to be the main sub-districts of Clementi Avenue 1, 2,3,4,5 and 6. In the centre of these mainstream Clementi streets is the Clementi town centre, Clementi Mall and Clementi MRT station.
Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) separates Clementi West from Central Central and the rest of Clementi.
Although unspoken, personally, I find that generally, most Singaporeans regard Clementi West as a slightly poorer cousin of Clementi, with many confusing Clement West with or simply identifying Clementi West as West Coast. After all, one side of Clementi West is West Coast Highway and West Coast Park while the other side of Clementi West is West Coast Road and West Coast HDB estate. Clementi West is at one corner of Clementi that’s considerably far away from the Clementi bus interchange and MRT station

Article 2 - Park Connector Network at Clementi West
There is a park connector network running along West Coast Highway, West Coast flats, Vista 18, Clementi West Street 2, Clementi West Street 1. At the corner of Vista 18, a waterway join the park connector network(PCN) and that continues all the way to the end of Clementi West Street 1 where it ended at AYE.
Dotted along this part of the PCN where it runs parallel to the waterway, various plants and shrubs are being planted to act as a form of water filtration which flows into the waterway.
It is common to see people jogging and strolling along the PCN. Also common seen are people fishing and feeding fishes at the waterway.
This is perhaps a little unknown secret that Clementi West residents enjoy.

Article 3 - West Coast Plaza at Clementi West Street 1
One of the landmarks in Clementi West is West Coast Plaza. West Coast Plaza is a shopping mall owned and managed by Far East Organization and located at the fringe of Clementi West Street 1 along West Coast Road. By the way, West Coast Road is the road separating Clementi West Street 1 and Clementi West Street 2.
West Coast Plaza is 2 storey complex with a basement. Anchor tenants include Cold Storage Supermarket and Anytime Fitness. Restaurants and cafes include Sushi Teh, Starbucks, Toast Box, Liho, Food Scholar Food Court, Oshii Bakery, Jalan Kayu Prata, Chinese hotpot, Korean eatery, western eatery, cake shops, Photostating shop, thai restaurant, comics shop, hair and nails salon, Javanese massage, Chen Kang foot and body massage, Xin Wang Cafe, a stationary shop, Japan Home, bible shop, tuition centre, jewellery shop, Long John Silver, Taekwondo training centre, Sakura fresh seafood restaurant, Mmmm!, ThistheFish, gaming centre, etc.
The car parking of West Coast Plaza is on the second and third floor. The second floor parking has direct access to the second floor shopping area. Whereas if you park on the third floor, you will need to take the car park lift to the second floor in order to access to the second floor shopping area. Personally, if one is not intending to buy a lot of things and if it is not raining, I would suggest to park at the open air car park on Clementi West Street 1 next to West Coast Plaza. It’s cheaper and no frills walking over. On Sundays and public holidays, the car park entry at Clementi West Street 1 is free. Just remember to only park on the visitor lots.
West Coast Plaza was formerly known as Ginza Plaza. Far East Organisation revamped it after a heavy renovation some years back. In the past, Ginza has a supposedly less savoury tenant mix. After the revamp, West Coast Plaza has a better tenant mix in a way. Business is moderate. Somehow, can’t help but to say that the business is at least seemingly not that far off from that of Centrepoint.
West Coast Plaza is probably the only place in the west that one can find a Cold Storage(and rather good size). The next nearest Cold Storage would probably be at Jelita. This Cold Storage offers cold cut ham and a salad bar. Within Clementi West, the business of Cold Storage seems to be around half of that of Sheng Siong.
