6 Dining Spots that Mums will Love for Mother’s Day

Here’s your weekly Chope public service announcement: Mother’s Day is this Sunday, and we hope you’re planning a show of gratitude in some way. In true blue Singaporean fashion, we present a list of food-related deals and make your meal-planning sesh a little easier.

Need further curation? If your mum fits any of these descriptions, here are some places that might point you in the right direction.

 

For the health-conscious mum

Does your mum watch what she (and the rest of the family) eats? Does she wrap up your KFC in kitchen towels to absorb as much oil as possible before she lets you sink your teeth into a chicken thigh, or hound you to take your daily vitamins? Take her to The Garden at Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa, which promises healthy and hearty salads and mains in a tranquil restaurant filled with natural light and plenty of greens. For $60++, you get a three-course set (pumpkin kaffir lime soup, a choice between wasabi miso-glazed Chilean sea bass or sous vide Cajun spiced chicken breast, and chilled aloe vera and mint jelly), coffee or tea, and a glass of prosecco. A waistline-friendly meal to celebrate your mum. Promotion runs until 31 May.

Find it at Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort and Spa Hotel, 2 Bukit Manis Road, Sentosa, Singapore 099891.

For the value-for-money mum

If your mum raised you by scrimping on herself and scouring the best deals, make her feel like a queen on this Mother’s Day. What’s more, true to her values, these offers would put her at ease, since you’re getting more bang for your buck for these buffets. If your mum loves understated elegance, opt for the Four Seasons’ award-winning One Ninety Restaurant featuring live stations and a sashimi bar, starting from $138++. What’s more, you can treat mum to a handcrafted bouquet for just $30.

Maybe having children didn’t stop your mum from marching to the beat of her own drum. If your mum is the sort who is game to try new things, why not take her to NOX, Singapore’s only dine-in-the-dark restaurant. Here you will rely on your remaining senses to savour the food in a pitch black room and spend some real quality time (without the distraction of handphones) with mum! The menu is a three-course mystery meal comprising 12 dishes, though there will also be a complimentary glass of sparkling wine – one less surprise there.

Each set is $88++, but mothers dine free with every three paying guests. The promotion is on 13 May, at 11.30am or 6pm.

Find it at 269 Beach Road, Singapore 199546.

For the traditional mum

For the mum who can’t stop talking about her childhood, celebrate with a touch of nostalgia at Spring Court in Chinatown. At 89 years old, it is one of Singapore’s oldest restaurants and has definitely stood the test of time. The family-run kitchen can be relied on for consistently good Chinese food and lots of reminiscing. Sets for 10 people are $668++ or $898++ depending on the menu, though either choice comes with a roasted suckling pig. Promotion is available till 13 May.

Does your mum enjoy the finer things in life? Give her what her heart desires and take her to The Fullerton’s La Brasserie this Sunday. For $158++, there will be free-flow champagne, wines and Bloody Marys, but also steamed king crabs, Maine lobsters, truffle risotto, foie gras, cracking pork belly — just to name a few. Spoil her silly with French cheeses and a live cotton candy station. After that, take a walk around the Marina Bay — another luxury she’s sure to love.

Find it at 80 Collyer Quay, Lobby Level, The Fullerton Bay Hotel, Singapore 049326.

For the no-nonsense mum

Maybe your mum’s a classic Asian tiger mum — curfews, few indulgences, and administering discipline (read: the cane) when it came to finishing homework. Hopefully, you’re a well-adjusted adult today, but chances are Mum is still her stoic, sensible self. Take her to Ryu’s, a sushi bar dedicated to delivering good food and great sake, for a solid, no-frills meal. The set is $128++ for two, with sake add-ons at $30++ per pax. Mum would approve.

Find it at 15 Stamford Road #01-87, Capitol Piazza, Singapore 178906.

#takeyourmumout this Mother’s Day!

How many times have we flopped down on the couch after a long day at work or school, whining about how tired we are, while waiting for our mums to whip up dinner? Now imagine having to prepare a meal for an entire family after a day of working your butt off… And I don’t know about you, but that sounds like straight up torture to me. 

Chope is paying homage to all the incredible, sacrificial mums out there this Mother’s Day by getting three participants to put together something nice for their mum – and what better way to do so than with her guidance?

Here are the three adorable duos that joined us at CulinaryOn:

giphy

Kelly is a busy mum-slash-businesswoman – she’s the person in charge of Mellben Seafood (impressive, right?) Rachel…Well, she doesn’t cook at all. This is her first ever attempt, apart from the Home Economics classes she had to take in Secondary School, and it didn’t go as badly as anticipated (despite the slightly burnt garlic). Mum was proud either way – her daughter has skill!

giphy2

Agnes is sassy and adorable, and says that her fitness-trainer son Moses cooks up a mean Oxtail Stew that turned her into a beef lover. It’s his very first time cooking beehoon, and he nailed it (7.5/10 despite it being slightly dry, says mummy) – not too shabby! She’s now looking forward to enjoying more of Moses’ cooking so she can finally sit back and relax.

giphy1

Cindy is one of CulinaryOn’s fantastic sous chefs, and Brandon is the sweet boy who stole all our hearts. They both baked a fantastic dark chocolate cake doused in chocolate sauce, mini marshmallows, and sprinkles (with plans to eat it with vanilla ice cream afterwards, YUM), and this was Brandon’s very first time baking! Talk about pure talent – the gift of cooking certainly runs in the family.

Interior 01Interior 07

The entire video was shot at CulinaryOn, a spacious culinary entertainment studio originating in Europe that promises a fun and exciting cooking experience – the perfect place for a birthday party for a bunch of foodies or a relaxed girls day out!

Classes are headed by professional Chefs that bring cooking to life with stories and entertaining activities, so you leave with more than just a myriad of new recipes and techniques in your repertoire; you’ll have fun-filled memories you won’t forget.

Remember to bring mummy dearest along for a memorable culinary experience!
