iClaw Taiwan (The Clementi Mall)

iClaw Taiwan is on level four of The Clementi Mall, the one that sits directly on top of Clementi station and the bus interchange.

The machines are the Taiwanese sort, and they grip and lift on a different rhythm from the arcade-style cabinets most Singapore claw shops use. If you have only ever played the usual kind, expect the first few goes to disappear into working that out. You buy tokens from the changer, and the cabinets hold the licensed figures and blind boxes the chain buys in for all its shops.

Coming up from the platform it is four floors straight up, so you can be in front of a machine within a couple of minutes of leaving the gantry. That makes it one of the easiest claw shops in the west to reach.
