7 Foodie Ways To Your Mom’s Heart And Belly This Mother’s Day

Put down the scented candles. Stop searching for a bargain flower arrangement. The expensive diamond jewelry can wait. You know your mom better—and we’re pretty sure what she wants on Mother’s Day (this May 14!) is to gather ‘round with loved ones and celebrate over a hearty banquet each one of you will truly enjoy. That’s just how selfless and awesome our moms are—they’re the best!      

What says “thank you” better than feeding the hand that’s basically been feeding you since birth, right? Plus, having a supersized foodie celebration also means you get to savor some new dining finds and old faves, too. It’s a delicious win-win for all.

Let our Mother’s Day dining ideas guide you to the delectably right direction. Whether your favorite lady has a special affinity for the classic pancit or loves a good ol’ hefty serving of lechon (no Filipino gathering’s complete without the other), the SM Malls Online app has got your momma’s cravings (and yours, too!) covered.

And ordering all our picks for the 14th is easy—just tap, add to cart, checkout in your SM Malls Online app to have them delivered to your home hot and fresh on or before the big day.

Scroll down to see our mom-approved, party-sized eats for your Mother’s Day shindig—only the biggest and the best for the #supermom in your life. 

12" Hawaiian Pizza and Classic Carbonara from OMG! Pizza

Always a crowd-pleaser regardless of whether you think pineapple chunks should be on a pie or not, this classic Hawaiian Pizza combines pizza sauce, melty cheese, cooked ham, and juicy pineapples in a 12-inch pie—a perfect combo of sweet and savory flavors to tickle the tastebuds.

Pancit Puti Party Platter from Cabalen

Don’t be turned off by the bland color—this “white” iteration of our local pancit’s meant to be that way. And it’s extremely flavorful with the addition of smoky inihaw, crunchy chicharon, and toasted garlic bits cooked with glass noodles. Ask your mom how this fares against other noodle dishes, and she’ll probably tell you it tastes like home, sweet home.

Boneless Zubuchon Large Platter from Zubuchon
