The all-American Dad
Very much tuned in to American culture of steak and grills, the all-American dad is very much in love with his meats. He would definitely appreciate the tenderness, juiciness and flavor of quality steak, as well as marbling scores that are off the charts.
If Dad likes steak, we’d recommend:
Morton’s | Mandarin Oriental Singapore, 5 Raffles Ave Level 5 | T: 6339 3740
Prime Beef at Morton’s are prepared with immaculate attention to detail. Flame-grilled to a gorgeous sear, each steak is lightly charred on the outside with a beautiful warm pink centre, beautifully marbled and literally melts in your mouth.

Another meaty offering, ribs are another choice for meat-loving dads. Cooked right on the bone and smoked for hours over wood fires, the meat is tender and packs a wallop of flavor. Ribs are also perfectly fashioned to be eaten with your hands, so go ahead, dig in and get your hands dirty!
If Dad likes ribs, we'd recommend:
Chili's | Tanglin Mall, 163 Tanglin Road #02-23
The only thing better than an indulgent full rack of Baby Back Ribs at Chili's, is the Mix & Match Baby Racks - 2 half racks each glazed with your choice of flavor. That glistening sheen atop the ribs just kick starts the appetite and meat cooperates, just sliding off the bone with minimal effort.

The newly health-conscious Dad
With him, one can always expect to have low-fat dishes with minimal oil so as not to jeopardize the progress of his intensive fitness regime. Sushi & sashimi makes for a perfect meal with elegant cuts of raw fish, fresh seafood and delicately-seasoned Japanese omelettes sure to win the approval of every health-conscious dad.
If Dad likes his Japanese food, we'd recommend:
Fukuichi | TripleOne Somerset, 111 Somerset Road | T: 6271 5586
At Fukuichi, fresh fish and seasonal seafood are specially air-flown from Shizuoka for their dishes. One can really expect to be impressed by the expertly prepared sashimi and tantalizing sushi such as their 'Spider Maki'. With such a delicate balance of flavours, Fukuichi delivers a decadent dining experience without the guilt.

The 'beer-bellied' Dad
There is just something with dads and beer. Apparently it goes well with football, meat, seafood and everything they like. But rather than just giving them a standard 6-pack, let them feel the love when you present them their favourite beverage, with a twist.
If Dad likes bacon with his beer, we'd recommend:
Beer-candied bacon. The combination is so indulgent it borders on debauchery permissible for the old man once every year. Savoury bacon candied in a beer-flavoured glaze is a crispy trio of bold flavours - sweet, salty and smokey all at the same time.
Easy to prepare (below 1.5hrs), simply serve in a pint glass, and yes, make sure dad's favourite brew is on the same platter too.

The 'beer-bellied' Dad
If Dad likes chocolate (and stout), we'd recommend:
Chocolate Stout Truffles. Stout typically delivers chocolatey overtones, and when used with quality chocolate, offers a whole new depth of flavor. If anything, these little tidbits would certainly express your 'stout-hearted' love for dad.

The traditional Dad
Sometimes, even with all the fanfare about the latest Michelin-starred restaurants and celebrity chefs in town, it's all about the food our fathers grew up with. The mix of nostalgia, value-for-money prices and good food is just the combination that can't be beat.
If Dad likes Bak Kut Teh, we'd recommend:
Ng Ah Sio Bak Kut Teh | 208 Rangoon Road | T: 6291 4537
Touting an original recipe, the luscious pork ribs at Ng Ah Sio Bak Kut Teh are cooked for hours on end, are tasty, tender and an absolute delight to sink your teeth into. The robust, peppery soup the ribs are served in promises to give that warm fuzzy feeling within.
