I want to bring her to a cafe or restaurant in a relax setting good for mum and daughter date. Last year, I brought her to Food for Thought in Botanic Gardens.

Food for Thought @ Singapore Botanic Gardens

However, I find myself taking leave from work to pamper myself for spa time, meet up with friends, go shopping and realized that I have never really dated my mum before. I wanted to bring my mum out to pamper her. So Mother’s Day was a good excuse to date her. My first thoughts were where to bring her to? Continue reading “Food for Thought @ Singapore Botanic Gardens”
