“La Mamma” Family Sharing Menu at Prego

Prego’s Mother’s Day “La Mamma” menu is made to be shared by the whole family. Featuring authentic Italian flavors reimagined through Chef Davide Bizzarri’s gastronomic skills, the experience is quintessential Italian hospitality — think welcoming, warm, and rooted in la dolce vita: a life of pleasure, comfort, enjoyment, good company, beautiful surroundings, and a carefree spirit.

Prego invites its guests and diners to slow down and enjoy life through great food, meaningful conversations, and cherished moments with loved ones. 

Start your meal with an abundant antipasti, including an air-flown Puglian burrata served with heirloom tomatoes, Prego’s signature Tuscan kale pesto made with kale from the hotel’s rooftop aquaponics farm, Leccino olives, and aquaponic salad; Zuppetta d’Astice, rich lobster bisque with snow crab meat and paprika; and Polpo featuring Fremantle octopus with piquillo peppers, cannellini beans, and rucola. 

Inspired by his Tuscan heritage, Chef Davide blends authenticity with creativity, presenting handmade pastas, wood-fired pizzas, and secondis that reflect time-honored recipes. Mains include Conchiglie al Ragù di Mamma Silva, a homemade shell pasta in a rich beef and pork sausage ragu with shaved parmesan — a beloved recipe from Chef Davide’s mother that he grew up enjoying and shared with his daughters. Other highlights include Pizza della Mamma, topped with mozzarella, crushed potatoes, ricotta mousse, tomberries, and caviar, as well as Cacciucco, a Tuscan-style seafood stew with Boston lobster, white clams, Sicilian mussels, baby squid, cod, scallops, and prawns, served with toasted homemade ciabatta. 

To finish your meal, have a taste of a playful and contemporary take on classic desserts — from Sweet Pasta with vanilla mascarpone, compressed strawberries, and basil, or a Trio Cheesecake with Parmesan crumble and mascarpone cream cheese. For a refreshing end, house-made gelato in Raspberry Rose adds a pleasant touch. 

Prego’s La Mamma Family Sharing Menu is priced at S$368++ for four diners and is available exclusively on May 11, 2025, from 12 PM to 2:30 PM. Complete your experience with a bottle of San Martino Pinot Grigio or San Martino Pinot Nero for an additional SGD$48++.

Indulge in masterfully crafted cocktails made by two talented women mixologists this April 23, 2025. 

SKAI Bar is pleased to announce its first Accor collaboration, a MŌGA takeover in partnership with its sister hotel, Pullman Singapore Hill Street. 

For one-night-only, on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, SKAI Bar will be hosting a mixology showdown featuring two talented women mixologists: Rozette Arellano from SKAI Bar and Shaina Yeh from MŌGA. 

Rozette Arellano is a self-taught, passionate mixologist who first began her journey as a server at SKAI before moving behind the bar. Inspired and guided by SKAI Bar’s lead mixologist Howard, as well as the team, she immediately found her calling and has made a name for herself with her vibrant, floral-inspired cocktails. Her inspiration and creative direction are rooted in childhood memories of her mother’s garden. 

Shaina Yeh is a new addition to the MŌGA team, bringing a fresh new energy and mastery from her time at 28 Hongkong Street. She recently secured a Top 10 finish in the Cointreau Global Margarita Challenge 2024, earning the coveted Rookie of the Year title. 

The event’s cocktail menu will undoubtedly delight the senses. Rozette’s cocktails are inspired by the vibrant colors of flowers and punchy exotic flavors. The Violet blends Don Julio Blanco, Crème de Cassis, Mancino Rosso, fresh lime, and bitters, finished with a hint of rosemary, while La Bionda combines Singleton 12-Year, Malibu, Disaronno, lime, and sugar syrup for a fruity, balanced cocktail. 

Shaina will present her mix with the MŌGA Gimlet – a crisp mix of Tanqueray, Calamansi Champagne Cordial, and lemon served neat in a pony glass – and her Japanese Tea Party, an aromatic concoction of Hojicha-infused Zacapa, Green Tea Umeshu, Angostura, and orange bitters over rock ice. 

Bar bites will also be available to order until 10:30 PM, with late-night snacks in service afterwards. Cocktails are priced at SDG$25++ and mocktails at SGD$16++, including a special collaborative mocktail created by both mixologists. 

Later this year, Bar MŌGA at Pullman Singapore Hill Street will host the team from SKAI Bar on July 28, 2025, for a special crossover guest shift.
