Araneta Center marks Mother's Day with a cook-off, sale and freebies

MANILA, Philippines - On Mother’s Day, Araneta Center celebrates God’s greatest gift to man — our mothers — with a whole day of pampering activities and yummy treats at Gateway and Ali Mall.

Make your mom feel beautiful with nail and skin care sessions from Posh Nails and Skintrends, Make-up Demo by Aromatherapy Salon, and hair care and styling tips from David’s Salon for the morning’s activities at Ali Mall on Mother’s Day. 

Gateway will show moms how to keep looking young with a Complete Skin Care Demo by Skin Doctor of Rustan’s.

In the afternoon, witness how chefs from Figaro, The Old Spaghetti House, and the newly opened French Baker cook at the Activity Center of the New Ali Mall to create their respective restaurants’ bestsellers this summer. 

At Gateway, chefs from Rasa, Sachi, Pizza Hut Bistro, and Gloria Maris impress spectators with their cooking skills as they create signature dishes from their own restaurants. A cook-off between the country’s Bb. Pilipinas beauties will be held at both Ali Mall and Gateway. The Iron Chef-type cook-off will test the ladies’ purchasing as well as cooking skills as they are asked to plan their menu around one secret ingredient and shop for their own ingredients at either Farmer’s Market, Rustan’s Fresh or Shopwise. Take advantage of various goodies on sale as you enjoy the many activities and gift choices made available for Mom on her special day.

Avail of freebies and delightful treats for minimum food purchases at select restaurants, cafés and bistros around the metro’s one-stop leisure hub. Café Adriatico gives away free bags or aprons for a minimum food purchase of P2,000, while The French Baker at the Sky Walk of the New Ali Mall treats moms to cookie mugs for every P1,000 food bill. Cibo woos moms with free crepes for every P2,000 food purchase, Pizza Hut gives away tote bags for every P800 minimum food purchase, while Gloria Maris treats dining-in moms to free chocolates.

Through the years, our moms have always strived to give us the best. This Mother’s Day, celebrate Mom by treating her to the best. Bring her to Araneta Center.
