This Sunday (June 18) is Father’s Day, and there’s no shortage of brunch options and “dads eat free” offers. However if you want to do something different for the Dad in your life, then here are a few ideas for more unusual experiences.
Make Your Own T-shirt
Summer is here, so help Dad stand out from the crowd with a t-shirt he’s designed, sewn and decorated himself. RMB 888, contact JenPohland via WeChat or call 1560 120 1550.
Punk Rock Party
Watch papa pogo (if that’s not too embarrassing…) at this Father’s Day gig. Local favorites Ambulance of Love, Russian Roulette, Duff Beer, and Little Wang will be bringing the spirit of anarchy to the School Bar. RMB 40 or free to dads who bring a child, though as it runs from 9pm to midnight, this is likely to mean older teens at least. Full details here.
Learn to Cook Chicago-style
Morton’s of Chicago will reveal to dads and kids the secrets behind their trademark mini beefburgers, petite filet mignon sandwiches, and short rib sliders. After the class you can feast on your creations. RMB 388 for Dad and one child. Full details here.
Hail to the Chef
If the Dad in your life prefers his cuisine haute, then Grill 79 are offering an opportunity to learn some tips from a master. Chef Deivid will be leading an exclusive afternoon cooking class for just three families (two adults and one child.) RMB 3500, advance booking essential. Email fbreservations.cwsw@shangri-la.com
