We’ve got to hand it to all the mums out there: they’re the understated superwomen of the world. Whether it’s making sure we never go hungry or giving some much needed TLC when we’re down, mothers are always saving the day.
As Mother’s Day rolls around, show your hero of a mum just how much you appreciate her by treating her to a nice meal and spending quality time together. So put on your Sunday bests and head to these restaurants that have special surprises in store for mum.
Nothing spells “family time” better than a communal picnic-style meal. This Mother’s Day, SPRMRKT lets you do just that, with their Mother’s Day Family-Style Brunch ($300) that comprises 4 hearty dishes to share between 3 to 5 people.
The spread includes a Himalayan pink salt-crusted sea bass, a whole roasted chicken, and a salmon and spinach pasta. This also comes with their signature brussels sprouts and is topped off with a bottle of rosé wine for a toast.
Have some fun over a free DIY cake decorating activity after your meal.
It doesn’t just end there; you and your family will get to decorate an entire Nashi Pear Chiffon Cake that comes with the meal, with colourful slices of preserved pear.
