Make mum feel extra special by taking her out for a sumptuous meal on her special day, or express your love for her with a well-chosen gift.
1. OVER THE MOON
Pamper mum with lunch or dinner at Moonbow, arguably the prettiest restaurant on Dempsey Hill. The five-course meal starts with a complimentary amuse bouche followed by Fine de Claire oysters paired with a kumquat emulsion. Enjoy a tummy-warming ‘Serama’ chicken consomme before the decadent mains — beef wellington and king prawn — are served. Conclude with the Texture of Raspberry, a stunning dessert made up of raspberry pop rocks, raspberry sorbet, raspberry parfait, raspberry ‘blanket’, and fresh raspberries.
$128++ per person; Mother’s Day menu is only available on 9 May 2021.

2. SWEET ENDINGS
Does mum have a sweet tooth? The Bravery’s special set meal will satisfy her cravings. The three-course meal comprises a main, dessert, and a drink. For the mains, she can look forward to crowd favourite, cod en papillote — cod fillet is baked in a paper bag with fennel, seasonal greens, herbs, microgreens and soy broth to keep the fish tender and moist. Created exclusively for Mother’s Day are the Peach Smoothie and Pearl of Earl Grey dessert. The refreshing drink was inspired by head barista Marvin Tan’s mother. Made with peaches, frozen bananas, milk and honey, the smoothie is finished with a touch of vanilla and ginger that balances the sweetness of the drink (non-dairy options for the Peach Smoothie are available). A perfect conclusion to the meal, the Pearl of Earl Grey features melon ganache anointed with fromage mousse, and topped with a sakura blanket and earl grey pearls.
Mother’s Day set is $58++ per person, and only available on 9 May 2021. For reservations, email https://thebravery.sg/reservation

4. POWER PACKED
Support mum in achieving her fitness goals by signing her up for Active Hive’s Minus Calories NIR (Near Infra-Red) workout. The workout boasts a number of benefits, such as greater stamina, improved metabolism, reduced cellulite, a firmer body, and is also anti-ageing. As the body is warmed up in three to five minutes, fat burning happens more quickly than conventional workouts. In addition, unlike conventional gyms, this ladies-only workout studio offers clients privacy while exercising as only one person is allowed at the studio during each time slot. A customised plan will be drawn up after consultation with a fitness coach during the first session, after which the client will be left to exercise on her own.
A three-month plan starts at $508; 30 minutes per session and unlimited access.
Available at https://activehive.com.sg/product/workout-1/
5. SCENT OF SOPHISTICATION
Treat mum to a floral musk fragrance clothed in a glass flacon that takes its inspiration from the Tiffany diamond, touted to be one of the most important yellow diamonds in the world. Tiffany & Co. Signature Eau de Parfum’s scent opens with vibrant top notes of vert de mandarine, with heart notes of iris and patchouli base notes for a perfume that’s elegant and timeless.
$211 for 75ml.
Available at Sephora stores, in-app and online at https://www.sephora.sg/products/tiffany-and-co-eau-de-parfum/v/75ml
6. DELECTABLE BOUQUET
This year, instead of showing your appreciation with a cake and a bouquet of flowers, why not order an exquisitely crafted flower bouquet cake from Paris Baguette instead? With three flavours and designs to choose from, each cake is adorned with a cluster of handcrafted blooming roses, made with cream. Complete the look with a cake topper expressing “Thank You” or “Love”. This Instagram-worthy celebratory cake will warm mum’s heart while titillating her taste buds.
$58 or $65
Available for pre-order until 6 May 2021 via Paris Baguette’s official website (https://www.parisbaguette.com.sg/) and all Paris Baguette outlets. Available for in-store purchase at all Paris Baguette outlets and islandwide delivery via GrabFood from 6–9 May 2021.
