While March’s Eras Tour had us swooning over Taylor Swift, the month of May has already set us up with another date with “mother”; minus the friendship bracelets and boisterous fan chants.
Of course, we’re talking about pampering our OG mums for Mother’s Day, and Junction 8 has got us covered when it comes to planning the perfect day out for our household’s MVP. Peep these Junction 8 Mother’s Day offerings, and rack up some major brownie points with some of their upcoming deals.
These set meals run till 16th June, which happens to be Father’s Day too; KIV to bring dad here for round 2.
If good food’s the way to your mum’s heart, then look no further than Dian Xiao Er’s Parents’ Day Special set meals. They’ve divided their fare into 3 sets, namely the Thankful (from $149), Grateful (from $123), and Loving (from $99), but from the looks of it, they’re all equally as sumptuous. You’ll also be able to spruce up your meal with a free soap carnation; Dian Xiao Er is giving a stalk when you give your parents a heartfelt hug.
The sets’ stir-fried prawns come with chewy Korean rice cakes.
Back to the fare, some of Dian Xiao Er’s new, exclusive dishes that can only be found on the set menus include their Honey Garlic Chicken, which coats golden chicken thighs with a curious blend of sweet and savoury flavours. Seafood lovers can feast on their decadent Deep-Fried Seabass, or indulge in hefty pieces of Braised Abalone with Fish Maw.
