The circuit breaker measures may have been lifted, but we still can't dine out with the family until phase two is introduced. While this means we'll have to plan a Father's Day celebratory meal at home, it won't be a bad thing since most restaurants in Singapore are already offering their signature dishes for takeaway or delivery. Get started on planning a sumptuous feast with this variety of meats as the centrepiece of your celebration.

1. Oxwell & Co

If your dad is a meat lover, he will definitely enjoy this massive 2kg bone-in, slow-cooked whole shoulder of lamb as the star of your Father’s Day feast. Ensuring the flavours are infused down to the core, the chefs marinate the meat for 24 hours in a house-made concoction of rosemary (from the restaurant’s rooftop garden), organic garlic and parsley.

After a generous sprinkling of Maldon sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, the lamb is slow-cooked for six hours in the oven and finished on the grill to achieve a smoke-kissed and fork-tender meat. Click here for details on how to order.

2. MeatSmith Little India

You might be celebrating Father’s Day at home this year, but you can still put a smile on dad’s face by ordering the Kerala beef short rib. The dish combines American barbecuing techniques with Indian flavours, so the chefs prepare the meat with a generous rub of coconut cream and black curry. Afterwards, it's smoked for eight hours until it's fall-apart tender and finished in the tandoor for that deliciously crisp crust. It tastes even better when it's slathered with the accompanying coconut turmeric sauce and acerbic house pickles. Click here to order.

3. The Market Grill

Chef Kenneth Lin, formerly of db Bistro and Jaan, combines two of dad’s favourite things—meat and whiskey—to create his rendition of BBQ pork short ribs. The slab is initially brined in a secret blend of spices, ensuring it remains moist and juicy after it's slow-cooked for 36 hours in the 'woodstone' charbroiler. How does chef achieve that sweet and caramelised exterior? The secret to that flavoursome coating lies in the home-made glaze of barbecue sauce with a touch of Jack Daniel's whiskey.

5. Red Eye Smokehouse

Does dad fancy American-style barbecues? If so, surprise him with the smokehouse restaurant’s popular USDA Angus brisket. The secret lies in the meat, sourced from a small independent farm from in California which raises the cattle for 365 days in a grain-fed diet. It ensures the meat has the desired sweetness and beautiful marbling. This is, of course, coated in a secret spice rub before the chefs cook it “low and slow” on the grill for that juicy and succulent finish. Click here to order. 

6. Burnt Ends

Give dad a bit of variety and order chef-owner Dave Pynt’s lamb chops to complement your delicious feast. He gives his version a Middle Eastern twist by marinating the meat in a homemade spicy-savoury Pakistani butter sauce comprising ingredients like turmeric powder and coriander. These are fired up on the custom-made grill until the chops are impossibly tender. Click here to order.
