While it is relatively easy to find Korean restaurants in Singapore, it is difficult to find a truly outstanding place that will make you go back again and again to try everything else on the menu that you have not tried. Big Mama Korean Restaurant at Kim Tian Road is one of the few that belongs to this category. The food is generally good, and addictive enough to make you return on a regular basis.
It is not difficult to please a man – just give him the typical man’s comfort food like pizzas, burgers, fried food and steaks and he will grin from ear to ear. So, this Father’s Day, show your dad how much he means to you and bring him to one of the following dining destinations.
Here is our guide to Father’s Day Dinner in Singapore.

Two times Pizza Acrobatics World Champion Chef Pasqualino Barbasso is returning to Palio at Resorts World Sentosa to entertain crowds with his gravity defying pizza manoeuvres.
If you have run out of ideas on how to celebrate Father’s Day, why not take time off your busy schedules, indulge in some family bonding and go for a pizza making class conducted by Chef Pasqualino. This is the great chance to learn a new skill from the master himself.
Chef Pasqualino will be introducing a weekly pizza menu and a 3-course set menu ($58++/pax) to showcase his finest creations during his visit at Palio. To kick-start the meal. you can choose either the Caprese – Italian buffalo mozzarella cheese with vine ripened tomatoes and basil – or a Tuscan Porcini Mushroom Soup with ciabatta bread croutons. For pizza, feast on the Sapori di Bosco – with tomato, mozzarella cheese, spicy, salami, pork, sausage and mushrooms. And Palio’s signature Tiramisu will ensure a sweet ending to the special occasion.

Besides getting a taste of authentic, delectable pizzas made true to Italian traditions from Chef Pasqualino’s hometown in Sicily, you also get to watch him perform right before your eyes – be stunned by his showcase of his legendary acrobatic pizza-spinning skills. Definitely something you do not get to see everyday. In addition to that, you can spend some quality time together with your family to learn some tips from the chef at the pizzas’ making classes.
And for 15 and 16 June, Palio will be having a special Father’s Day set menu for 4 at $148++. The highlights include a homemade tagliolini pasta with smoked salmon, grilled kurobuta pork rack, one of Chef Pasqualino’s signature pizzas, and tiramisu.

With a tongue-in-cheek name like Rabbit Carrot Gun, it is hard not to do a double take when we passed this watering hole along East Coast Road. Like its name suggests, Rabbit Carrot Gun does not take things too seriously. The menu is full of quirky dishes that fortunately turned out fairly well.
I had the privilege of flying to Bali and was hosted at Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort for a short but much needed respite.
There are many reasons to love Sheraton — contemporary Balinese interior of the resort, well-furnished rooms that promise a comfortable stay, friendly staff who are always ready to go the extra mile just to make sure everything is in place for the guests, and partake in Sheraton’s Social hour (a wine program which allows guests to sample tasting selections of wine from 5pm to 7pm daily) — but above all, it is my top choice because of its proximity to the beach. It is just a stone’s throw away from surfers’ paradise and if your life ambition is to be a beach bum like me, lodging at Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort is, without a doubt, your best bet.

For our last coffee feature of this month, we had a chat with Harry Grover, owner of Forty Hands Cafe and Kiasu Expresso, to talk about the local coffee scene, and his plans for 2013.
It seems like a new brunch spot opens every other week, so it is surprising to see Symmetry doing a roaring business for weekend brunch despite its out-of-the-way location at 9 Jalan Kubor.
Symmetry is beautiful in a rustic sort of way. The brick walls and dim lights lend a cosy feel to it, making it perfect for a lazy weekend brunch.
In the recent years, we have seen the explosion of cafes in the local scene, and there is almost a new cafe opening every week. From hole-in-the-wall joints to specialty coffee houses and chic cafes, there are plenty of options to choose from when you are having caffeine withdrawal.
