Dads are often the unsung heroes in our lives, providing love, support, and guidance with unwavering dedication. They play a myriad of roles, from being our first teachers and protectors to becoming our lifelong friends and confidants. Celebrating these extraordinary men is a heartfelt way to acknowledge their tireless efforts and the significant impact they have on our lives. Whether it’s for Father’s Day, his birthday, or just because, finding meaningful ways to honour your dad can create cherished memories and deepen your bond. In this article, we explore a variety of heartfelt and creative ideas to celebrate Dad, ensuring he feels appreciated and loved for the hero he truly is.
Treat Dad to Delicious Cakes
The Pine Garden has just released a couple of new flavours just for Father’s Day and one of them is Pipagao Whisky. Many of us have taken pipagao as a traditional Chinese remedy for cough or sore throat so it would seem a little strange to us to have it in a dessert. As sceptical as we were, we tried this and…it works! The candied orange tied the slightly minty pipagao to the cream, which then ended with a hint of whisky. It was a delightful bite and wasn’t too sweet nor cloyingly creamy. Perfect for the more sophisticated tastebuds.
Another seasonal flavour is the Black Sesame Chiffon Coconut Latte. This got a bit of mixed reviews. This author’s mother felt that she couldn’t taste the coconut latte cream as it was overwhelmed by the coffee and the black sesame; this author could taste the coconut cream and thought that it was a nice touch to the nutty, roasted black sesame cake. I could do without the coffee, in my opinion. Just coconut and black sesame please!
Both cakes can be purchased online at www.pgcake.com or at their retail outlet at Ang Mo Kio.

Hearty dinner with fireworks at CÉ LA VI Singapore
For a limited time only from Friday to Monday, 14 to 17 June, guests can head to The Restaurant at CÉ LA VI Singapore and pamper the leading family man with an exclusive dish of Duck in Shio Koji, priced at S$52++. This hearty delight offers an exquisite blend of umami flavours and tenderness, served with delicate wantons, vibrant plum gel, and rich jus with an option to add black truffles at S$25++ for 5 grams. Diners on 15 June may also enjoy a magnificent fireworks display at 8:15pm, as the National Day rehearsal commences.
“The inspiration behind this dish comes from my childhood when my dad and I would often enjoy duck noodles together. This dish is a tribute to him,” explains Head Chef Danial Fitri Yap. “Pairing duck with shio koji not only tenderises the meat but also enhances its natural sweetness and umami flavours. The wantons, filled with duck and a hoisin marinade, honours the key ingredient, while the consommé is brewed using the remaining bones, underscoring our commitment to practising zero waste in our kitchens.”

Guests can also email [email protected] for bookings for 9 to 11 guests.

The OG of Cool: Dads who rock retro style
Forget the latest fads, your dad let his shoes tell a different story. He gravitates towards timeless classic style with a retro twist and a touch of nostalgia.

These are not just shoes, they are a subtle nod to a style that stood the test of time, proving that retro is the one true winner. If this sounds like your dad, Skechers Street™ Uno – Retro One might be just the right pair for your retro dad.
