Have you made plans on how to celebrate Mother’s Day this year? Why not head down to Capella Singapore in Sentosa for a Mother’s Day Brunch at The Knolls.

My family and I went for a preview tasting of their Mother’s Day brunch two weekends ago and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The weekend buffet brunch at The Knolls is always packed, even on regular weekends. Book early to avoid disappointment.

Mother’s Day at The Knolls will see a Mediterranean-inspired Sunday brunch with a twist. The Knolls will be transformed into a beautiful bustling garden of flowers where guests can design and create your own unique floral bouquets for mothers.

Adding to the Spring floral theme, Mother’s Day Brunch at The Knolls will feature seasonal highlights such as a Slow roasted Dutch milk-fed Veal chop, scented with seasonal flowers, Fresh asparagus cooked in a citrusy mousseline sauce flavoured with tarragon and a Spring vegetable tarte potagere made with Frantoi Cutrera extra virgin olive oil.

The white asparagus will be topped with caviar to make it even more deletable:

This dish was a little funky for me, but was an unique culinary experience – foie gras served in Bouillon, topped with anchovies and tomato paste:
