Shying away from saying “I love you” is an unspoken rule in our conservative society. Even when faced with saying it to our parents, it’s hard to be affectionate, giving an Asian twist to “you say it best when you say nothing at all”.
Truth be told, that’s how many of us were brought up – many of our mums prefer to show us that they love us, without having to actually say it. So this Mother’s Day, let’s do one better. Tell them you love them, then show them by pampering them with Mother’s Day treats at one of these places:
Note: Some of the deals aren’t applicable for Mother’s Day (14 May) itself, but can be used throughout May.
If you haven’t been the Best Child Ever™ this year, So SPA by Sofitel offers the perfect remedy to appease mum after all that you’ve put her through.
Make amends with So SPA’s Ultimate Anti-ageing Facial (90 minutes, $250), gifting her a treatment for firm and youthful skin, or calm her nerves with the Deep Tissue Oriental Massage (60 minutes, $180/ 90 minutes, $240) to ease overworked muscles and cure her fatigue.
Plus, mothers who dine or stay at Sofitel Sentosa on 14 May will receive a free makeover by Givenchy from 10am to 5pm on a first-come-first-served basis. Mastercard holders that charge a minimum of $500 will also get a complimentary photo shoot for mums.

To all the times you’ve pang seh-ed your mother for Friday date nights, Spuds & Aprons will give you a shot at redemption. Located at the top of Mount Faber, 100 metres above the sea, the sweeping view of Sentosa Island at Spuds & Aprons sets the mood for a cosy meal with mum.

One of the chef’s recommendations is the Tobiko Crusted Cod Fillet ($32). A bed of green tea soba laced in aged ponzu sauce, it has a light unami taste and is refreshing on the palate. Finished with a slice of cod fillet, its fresh, springy meat deserves praise.

Our mothers’ battle scars come in all forms and sizes: stretch marks on their tummies or even sprouting strands of white in their hair. Their sacrifices cannot be measured by riches or gold, but we can make our mothers – for one day at least – one of the most pampered women in the world.
With all these promotions courtesy of Mastercard happening in Sentosa for the month of May, bring your mum out for a day of fun. Before bringing her to a spa or meal, take her for a unique zero gravity experience at iFly Singapore, visit the SEA Aquarium, or even take her to see USS for the first time – these are experiences she’ll be grateful for, and might even cement your status in her heart as the Best Child Ever™.
