Celebrate Father's Day with a homemade meal for dad

Father's Day, which is on June 16 this year, may cook up slightly less of a fanfare compared with Mother's Day, but show dad he is equally remembered and appreciated by preparing a delicious homemade meal, using quality FairPrice Housebrand ingredients.

A perennial favourite that is extremely healthy yet tasty, roasted salmon and vegetables will score you full marks in dad's book.

To finish off the meal in a way fathers will heartily approve, treat him to premium lager from Belgium.

Best served chilled, it compliments fatty meat and savoury food such as salmon, fried chicken or nuts.

It is available exclusively at FairPrice for $14.50 (pack of six) or $56.60 (pack of 24).

For the father who prefers Asian cuisine, cook a delicacy that tickles his taste buds - premium abalone.

The Golden Chef Australian Jumbo Wild Abalone (230g) stocked by FairPrice is harvested from the Southern Ocean of Australia and packed according to stringent quality assurance guidelines.

It is 100 per cent natural without preservatives or additives.

It is also immersed in its own juice, retaining a natural sweet flavor.

Every piece promises to be succulent and tender.

Best of all, it comes in ready-to-eat convenient packaging. Simply submerge the pouch in 85 deg C to 90 deg C water for five minutes and you are good to go, making a luxurious Father's Day dinner in a snap.

The abalone is going for a promotional price of $88.80 (RSP: $108), with a free Corningware Retroflam Wok Pan 30cm (worth $169) from South Korea with every purchase.
