No, what mums really want on Mother’s Day is not another blender or the latest Cookery book by Nigella. What mums really want is to be pampered instead of having to pamper. So instead of rushing to the store to pick up the latest kitchen appliance that the ads on TV guarantee to win you brownie points, take some time to plan a special day for her this Mother’s Day.

If you know she enjoys catching up with the girls over high tea, the most popular one by far is hosted at Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo where on 12 May 2013 the hotel opens a special Rose themed edition of their already fabulous daily High Tea. If spending time with mum is a rare occurrence, invite her to spend the afternoon with you over High Tea. The plush ambience of the Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo Lounge is ideally suited for long conversations while appreciating the excellent quality of the beautifully presented food.

The ‘Mum’s Day High Tea’ at Cinnamon Lakeside is priced at Rs. 1,850 all inclusive per person. The afternoon begins at 3:00 p.m. and is open until 6:00 p.m. Every Mum will be presented with a lovely pink rose in keeping with the theme and the hotel’s specialty chocolates. Make a reservation on 0112491956. Considering the Mother’s Day rush, an early reservation is greatly advised.

Alternatively mum could take a break from the kitchen and enjoy a five star lunch at The Dining Room. Executive Chef Martin Becquart goes all out with the international buffet on this day for the well deserved mums. Priced at Rs. 3,900 all inclusive per person, the buffet is open from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. on 12 May 2013 and includes an unlimited flow of bubbly or lager. The Dining Room can be reached on 0112491930 for reservations.

For an absolutely memorable Mother’s Day, one could opt for the Bubbly Brunch aboard 8 degrees on the lake, the hotel’s floating restaurant. The buffet features the finest in seafood and an array of star class dishes with a free flow of bubbly. This is truly a one of a kind experience and a must do whilst in Colombo. Seats are limited and reservations are taken on 112491925.

If a more intimate affair is more her style, the hotel’s signature restaurants Royal Thai and Long Feng are the best in class for Thai and Chinese cuisine respectively. For added variety one may try the special dishes that are launched on a monthly basis. Long Feng is rapidly becoming popular for its steamed and fried dim sum items which are prepared by an expert Dim Sum chef. Both are well patronised by diners of the Thai and Chinese communities which is a testament to the authenticity of the cuisine there. Reservations and further information may be obtained on 112491945 for Royal Thai and 112491949 for Long Feng.

No mum will refuse a day at the spa. The Azmaara Spa at Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo offers a range of luxurious treatments performed by skilful Balinese therapists. For further information the spa can be reached on 112491922.

Armed with a host of options, one can’t go wrong with the Mother’s Day indulgences at Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo.
