My hubby and I waited 45mins for the Claypot Lala Hokkien Mee on a Sunday night. Best to visit this place on a weekday.

Cooking Lobster

Grilled cod fish at Cornerstone. Must try!!!

Cornerstone is a new restaurant in tranquil Bishan Park. The garden concept makes it an ideal place to chill out and dine with loved ones. What impresses me is the owners put an extra effort to make this place elderly, kids and pets friendly. As such it is an ideal place for gatherings.

Successful, young and diligent chef Yeo Kian Tong

Owner, chef Yeo Kian Tong, graduated from Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts and is a winner of Gourmand World Cookbook Award (Best Chinese Cookbook Singapore). He is the pride of Singapore and believes in serving quality western food at affordable price. We have known each other for years and always wanted to run a cooking class together. Hence Clique Wise had a Lobster Bisque cooking class at Cornerstone today.

I am a soup person and hopes to cook Lobster bisque. Lobster bisque is a complicated and delicate dish to prepare. The thought of handling the lobster is enough to scare most of us. But chef Albert Ryan of Cornerstone made it easy for novices like us to learn.

In this video, he demostrated how to cut the lobster with great ease. By cutting the lobster across, we could retrieve the flesh for frying, or just grill, bake and steam it like this.

Chef Albert Ryan taught us how to cut lobster.

Chef Albert Ryan has appeared in many cooking programmes,
he shares his knowledge generously.
