Their interiors alone already exude luxury and royalty, not to mention the huge and comfy seats you get to enjoy while having your hands and feet cleaned. Their basic services start at PhP200, and part of their income goes to their partner charities.

For PhP490, you and your mom can deep-fry anything on their kushikatsu buffet, which is replenished every 90 minutes. They’ll also provide a batter so you can coat your skewered goodies before frying them and a wide option of side dishes for you to pair with your kushikatsu.

Although eating out as a family during Mother’s Day is great, there’s something special when it’s just you and your mom bonding on a day out. You get to share intimate stories and connect on a deep, personal level. One perfect place to spend this special day is at Kko Kko, which is owned by a Korean mother-and-daughter tandem, television host Grace Lee and her mom.
Kko Kko is famous for their authentic Korean dishes, whose recipes are created by Grace Lee’s mom herself. But the real showstopper at this restaurant is their Chicken Cheese Fondue (PhP588). You’ll get a bread bowl filled with three different kinds of cheese where you can dip fries, chicken, and onion rings.
