Call us kiasu, but you should probably be planning your dinner reservation for Mother's Day now, especially if you're looking to score good buffet deals. Mother's Day 2023 is on May 14 and many restaurants close their bookings a week before the actual day.

To avoid getting scolded by your mum for doing things at the last minute, it's high time you started planning where to take her this Mother's Day.

We've rounded up 13 mum-dines-free promotions and buffet deals this May 2023.
