They say mum's cooking is the best — but my mum would much rather be on the receiving end. A charming cafe, a bottomless brunch, or a leisurely high tea? That's way more her vibe than spending hours in the kitchen.

Singapore Father's Day guide: 88 ways to spoil dad
Like Mother's Day, Father's Day has a tendency to sneak up on us. One moment you're choosing between latte or cappuccino, the next you're scrambling for dinner reservations or panic-buying a 'World's Best Dad' mug that he'll politely pretend to love. But not this year. Whether your dad is the strong, silent type who gets nostalgic about his youthful days, or a karaoke mic hog who knows every word to Eagles' songs, it's time to show up like the world's most prepared child. That doesn't mean big gestures – just thoughtful ones. Father's Day is about being present, paying attention, and letting him know he's appreciated. Of course, if you're also after the perfect bottle of Japanese single malt, a hand-stitched wallet, or a dinner reservation he can brag about, don't worry – we've got that covered too. Here's 101 ways to celebrate the big man on Jun 15. Thoughtful gestures 1. Wake up early and make him coffee before he asks. A NEWSLETTER FOR YOU Friday, 2 pm Lifestyle Our picks of the latest dining, travel and leisure options to treat yourself. Sign Up Sign Up 2. Handwrite 'Best Dad in Singapore and JB' on a card. He'll get the Phua Chu Kang reference, even if you don't. 3. Set up a photo slideshow of you two growing up. 4. Frame his National Service (NS) photo. If you can't find it, frame his best dad joke. Either would make him beam. 5. Ask about his childhood – and really listen to him. Resist touching your phone unless to record him. 6. Take him on a nostalgia walk around the old neighborhood. 7. On the walk, snap wefies, post them on social media, and show him the likes. 8. If the house he grew up in is still standing, consider asking the current owners if he can take a quick look inside – just ten minutes, for memory's sake. 9. If he's tired, book him a foot massage. 10. Get a table at an old-fashioned kopitiam and ask him what he worried about when he was your age. 11. Find his old friends – his NS buddy, kampung mate, or university classmate – and arrange a surprise meet-up. 12. Take him to an old vinyl store and let him go wild. Red Point Record Warehouse on Playfair Road has 20,000 vinyls, CDs and cassettes. 13. When he comes home, surprise him with a mini 'dad exhibition' – old photos, passports, office passes, even the pager he refuses to throw. 14. Gift him a new clean copy of a book he loved when he was younger. 15. End the day by telling him: 'I hope I age just like you.' Let the silence linger. Style him up 16. Book a full grooming ritual at Sultans of Shave's Capitol branch – shave, haircut, facial, with premium whiskey in hand. They even have a father and son offer, so both of you can get sharp together. 17. Buy him a structured Panama hat from Hat of Cain. 18. Tailor him a shirt at the much-lauded men's clothing store The Prestigious with master tailor Thomas Wong. But if dad doesn't like to be fussed over, try Determinant – a Hong Kong brand newly available at Takashimaya. Its shirts come in 61 ready-to-wear sizes, designed to fit men of all builds. Determinant shirts come in 61 sizes for Asian men of all builds. PHOTO: DETERMINANT 19. Surprise him with a Hermes Apple Watch band – or the Nomos Club Sport Neomatik if he prefers analog.

Buy him an Oasi cashmere scarf from Ermenegildo Zegna, for plane rides and European weather. 22. If he likes to hike, get him the Tiffany 1837 Makers sterling silver compass from Tiffany's. He'll want to show this one off to his friends. 23. Engrave cufflinks from Montblanc. 24. Book him a custom fragrance session at Maison 21G to design a scent that's unmistakably his. 25. Upgrade his sunglasses to a pair from Jacques Marie Mage – bold design, limited runs, serious style cred. Available in Jamco at Fullerton Hotel. 26. Slip him into a classic pair of Ferragamo loafers.

After all, fathers are the quiet constants in our lives—protective, dependable, and devoted. They are the superheroes who support our dreams and give us the courage to always believe in ourselves. Their style, much like their presence, often leans into comfort: think crisp shirts, understated neutrals and mostly tailored silhouettes. Whether it's a sleek suit worn for boardroom meetings or a linen shirt with breezy shorts for a relaxing cup of coffee at a neighbourhood cafe, what he wears is often a reflection of his journey—refined and considered.

May babies: Actress Grace Wong's daughter born in same month as her and husband
From now on, Hong Kong actress Grace Wong will be holding three birthday celebrations in the month of May. Wong, who turned 39 on May 5, announced on social media on May 29 the birth of her first child via natural delivery. Her non-celebrity husband Daniel Chang, also 39, was born on May 15. Wong wrote in Chinese: "I always thought I would be the kind of career woman who picked a date for a caesarean section and gave her baby formula milk. "But as I formed a relationship with my baby during the nine months of pregnancy, she seemed to tell me that I could do it. I did more research and wanted to give her the best within my capabilities." She thanked her doctor for giving her the confidence to change her choice of delivery method in the last four months of her pregnancy. "It really worked out in the end as our baby girl was born naturally," Wong wrote, revealing that her daughter's name is Audrey Chang. "She is very special as she arrived past 12am, so her birthday is next to her dad's birthday," she added. "I wonder if she will be a daddy's girl in the future." She thanked her husband for accompanying her throughout the journey and for being her biggest cheerleader, adding: "You're gonna be the best daddy." She also thanked the medical team at Hong Kong's Union Hospital. "We felt very loved and supported during our stay," she wrote in English. "Thanks for celebrating Danny's birthday and Mother's Day with me as well." Using hashtags such as #MayBabies, she added: "Off to a new season with our little one. We love you so much and can't wait to see you grow up." The first runner-up of the Miss Hong Kong pageant in 2007, Wong is best known for starring in the TVB martial arts drama A Fist Within Four Walls (2016). Her role as Fa Man was named Most Popular Female Character at the TVB Anniversary Awards in 2016. In 2016, she announced her engagement to Mr Chang, whom she had dated for 11 years. In 2017, they held two wedding ceremonies in the United States and Hong Kong. Wong announced in December 2021 that she was leaving TVB after 14 years with the Hong Kong broadcaster. She took part in Chinese dance survival show Great Dance Crew in 2022 and is also a singer now.
