From Halal curry fish head in the west to pet-friendly seafood feasts in the CBD, as well as an affordable failproof black pepper crab option — here are the best seafood places to take dad this Father’s Day!
We all know how important our dads (or father figures) are to us. They ground us and empower us to be the best we can be, and make us laugh with their terrible jokes and deadpan humour. Thus, the least we could do is to take them out for a good meal — and nothing says thank you dad like a large platter of fresh seafood smothered in a thick (sinful) sauce of his choice. Yes, we’re talking about the best seafood places to gather the fam at for Father’s Day dinner 2022.
Whether you’re dining one-on-one with dad or gathering the loved ones for a celebration — there’s something for every kind of group, and dad, here!
💜 Psst! Here’s your chance to surprise dad with four Golden Village Gold Class tickets (worth S$160) this Father’s Day. Simply like this IG post, follow our page, repost the post onto your IG story (remember to tag us!), and comment with your dad’s favourite travel “quirk” to stand a chance to win! Do note that the giveaway ends Thursday, 16 June, at 12 noon (SGT). Good luck!
