Nestled in the middle of the Bishan Park, Cornerstone offers an escapade from the bustling town area. We went there on a late Sunday noon and there was not much of a crowd. It was a serene dining experience. In fact, I thought it makes a good site for a garden theme wedding, especially if you have animal friends in the gang! ^_^
Next, our orders!
Seafood Marinara - $28
Portion was decent with generous serving of succulent prawn, mussels and squid. It was really tasty and smelt so good when served piping hot. We really enjoyed it although the price was kinda steep given that it was a common dish found in many pasta places.
French Toast - $12
The french toast was really soft and nice, and who can resist such pretty presentation. A light hearted brunch for those with small appetite and a sweet tooth. =)
Black Forest Trifle - $13
At one look, I thought this was tiramisu, but it was more like a reconstructed black forest cake. Too much of mousse and cream and too sweet for my liking. Give me a black forest cake from a neighborhood confectionery anytime.

Back at Clinton, probably my fourth visit? Quite rare, as I seldom revisit the same cafe/restaurant unless I really like it and pricing is affordable. Keke
Wild Blueberry - $10
This shake was damn shiok! Many places serve melted ice cream, or worse, flavored milk and call them milkshakes, which is super off lor. It has been a long time since I found a place that really serve good milkshake! Definitely be back when I have craving for milkshake. =)
Chicken & Waffles - $21
Ordered my favorite, with additional side of fluffy scrambled eggs ($6). The chicken was rather small and dry this time round, kinda inconsistent from the last time I was here. *Shrugged*
Eggs Benedict - $20
Wanted to order crab cakes (recommended by a friend) and ended up making a wrong order. I'm never a fan of eggs benedict and those that we had here didnt manage to change my opinion. Why so many people like sour sauce on eggs? LOL
Anyway, with a longer opening hours, the crowd here seem to be manageable and what's more, Clinton allows reservations for dinner. Good news for those who hate to queue for food.

I wanted to come here long ago but the unearthly opening hours (8am - 6pm) really make it hard to do so, unless you are working near bugis area. Anyway, I still managed to visit it, in fact twice before I pen this post. =)
Well, be prepared to queue for a good 30-40mins coz both times that I went, it was packed. Even though they try to squeeze in as many tables as possible, to a point, I thought that they are discriminating the not-so-slim people.
I'm kidding. I mean the discrimination part but super pack and no privacy is real. That's probably why the customers move in and out pretty fast; it is really not the best place to chill.
Chicken & Waffles - $21
This is their "Award Winning Recipe" buttermilk fried chicken, or so they claimed on their menu.... and I loved it! The maple butter sauce was ultimate and it complemented the otherwise soft waffles. I mean I dont even like soggy or soft version waffles, but I loved that here. Fried chicken was breast meat, which was quite tough. I'm totally fine with it coz anyway I prefer chicken breast meat. Portion was great. Well, you can see for yourself.
Pancake with Warm Maple Butter - $18
Choose between blueberries, chocolate and banana walnut.
I chose the banana walnut because I can then dip the pancake with the ultimate sauce with added texture. The other two is just sauce, agree? Heehee
And mind you, there were banana and walnut in every slice of the pancake; it was so filling. #fatdieus
Pies, cakes and scones that we didnt have the chance to try...

I have wanted to try out Jones the Grocer since I saw it at Dempsey Road. Due to its location, I find it hard to wake up early in the morning, take a train plus a bus to reach there. The "push factors" are too great! Aiya, I usually only have access to car at night mah.. What to do? I need a sponser for a car plus driver.. Text me if you decide to do so! =p
*Dreaming happily*
Finally, Jones has become more accessible, with its new location at Mardarin Gallery! Hurray! Breakfast time again!
*******
We went at about 2plus, thinking that the crowd would have subsided by then.
Wrong lor... There was still a queue at that time. Alamak, why these people so lazy, woke up so late to eat breakfast... *sulky face*
We waited for about half an hour before getting a seat... Heng, it was not too long, my tummy was protesting oreadi!

I chanced upon this breakie place on someone else blog and so, decided to give it a try... =)
Breakfast place seems to be the emerging trend nowadays. Everyone starts to love breakfast and make an effort to wake up early for breakfast/brunch gathering.
Otherwise for people who tend to develop affection with their beds and pillows, especially in the morning like myself...
*cleared throat*
Fear Not! You can easily find places that sell breakfast all day, as well as places that sell only breakfast such as Wild Honey etc
I used to wish for breakfast all day as it has many variety yet it's light on the stomach and now, it's a little wish comes true.. keke
