Mother's Day Celebration at Shopwise

Mother's Day is a day of celebrating motherhood. It's also the day we honor the silent heroes in our home. This is also the time to show our appreciation to the woman who gave everything, who did their best and who continue to love their children despite all the challenges in life. A mom's love is unjaded.

Last May 13, Shopwise Alabang treat the loyal mommy shoppers and their family in an afternoon of fun and learning activities for Shopwise Mother Day Celebration. There were cooking lesson, Wine 101 and Wine and Cocktail Show.

Cooking Lessons with Chef Jee Mingoa

Chef Jee is a seasoned Chef of Alchemy Bar and Bistro. He is an expert in French, Western and Mediterranean cuisine. Je shared her expertise and knowledge in cooking by preparing 2 simple yummy dishes that will surely be loved by moms like me.

Pan-Fried Fish Fillet with Caper Tomato

This Pan-Fried Fish Fillet with Caper Tomato will be a nice and simple dish to cook for our moms this month of May.

Creamy Beef Paprikash

This flavorful dish can be done in less than 30 minutes. It will be a great dish to include in your dinner menu to surprise your mom.

Wine and Cocktails Show with Joseph Apostol

To make the afternoon more exciting, Joseph Apostol, President of Philippine Wine Flairing did an awesome Cocktails for moms to enjoy.

Mamita el Mojito

Mojito is one of my favorite cocktail drink. With Mamita el Mojito, Joseph Apostol did not add any rum on it but instead he added Moscato ( Cranswick Lakefield ).

Citrus Sunshine

Citrus Sunshine is a nice mixture of orange juice, sugar, lemons, basils and 120 ml of Cabernet Merlot ( BeachHut Australia ).

Blossoming Mom

Just like the two first cocktails, this one can be the perfect drink to make for Mother's Day celebration.
To make the Blossoming Mom, simply mix 120 ml of Moscato ( The Family Trentham), 60 ml of Cranberry Juice,  5 ml of intense Cherry Blossom, 5 ml Lemon Juice and 100 grams of ice.

Wine 101with Mattia Mauri

Who will miss this kind of chance to try different varieties of wine from Australia?
Mattia Mauri, a wine expert from Italy who started learning about wine right after his school in Europe before moving to Australia wherein he further develop his skills and knowledge.

" The best wine is the wine that you liked"
says Mattia Mauri

He specializes in Australian and Italian wine to be particular. He recommended a number of Australian wines that are being sold or available at Shopwise.  The top-selling brand is Beach Hut, Chain of Fire and Lakefield which cost around Php 200 to almost 600 pesos.

I'm thankful to Shopwise for making our day so special. I've learned 2 new dishes from the cooking lesson with Chef Jee. I was able to know the different variety of wines but I like the Lakefield the most. I enjoyed the Wine and Cocktail Show of Joseph.

It was an enjoyable and learning day for moms like me. By the way, all the ingredients including the wines that it was used in the recipes and wine show can be purchased in all Shopwise branches nationwide.
