Dining
They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach; and your dad is no exception. Lucky for you, this Father’s Day is jam-packed with all sorts of delicious delicacies for you and your pops to chow down on. There are a variety of brunch options on the actual day, including the Brownstone’s block party brunch. If your dad is a classic meat-and-potatoes kind of guy, try Cages, which features a steak dinner special for Father’s Day. If you really want to go all out, Ambrosia Teppanyaki is offering a nine-course dinner, complete with foie gras, sashimi, and steak for 588 yuan (US$89), from now until the 19th. Any one of these choices is certain to leave your dad with a full belly and a satisfied smile.

Moreover, the authentic Italian, Chinese and Western gourmet foods crafted by over 10 outdoor cafes and restaurants boast a variety of options.
