There’s something intimate and special about cooking a meal from scratch for someone you love. And who better to cook for than mum, who is typically the one doing all the feeding. And while you certainly don’t need to wait for a special occasion like Mother’s Day to treat mum to a feast, there’s no harm in surprising her with a delicious lunch or dinner at home to make her feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

And as dining out isn’t possible this year due to circuit breaker measures, why not opt for a homecooked meal instead? For mums who prefer Asian cooking, we’ve rounded up some easy recipes you can try for a more intimate Mother’s Day celebration this year.
