MACAU, June 14, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Father's Day should not just be about gift-wrapped ties. If you have a sneaking suspicion that your dad truly meant it when he said "you shouldn't have" as he opened last year's gift, Macau.com (http://www.macau.com) has compiled a list of suggestions that will bring the twinkle back to father's eyes.
The Family Man - The family that plays together, stays together. Buy some pork chop buns, iced milk tea and some extra snacks, and try to nab a couple of the 3,300 plus seats available at the Nam Van Lake Nautical Centre to cheer on the Dragon Boat races. Then from 4:00pm - 5:30 pm, top off the family day playing interactive games and watching live music and standup comedy at the Father's Day Concert in the Comendador Ho Yin Garden.
The Foodie - The way to your father's heart is through his stomach, but breakfast in bed won't cut it? You'll just have to "wine" and dine him. Or "sake" and "sushi" him. Hotel Okura Macau has got it covered either way. Address: 2/F Hotel Okura, Galaxy Macau. +853-9993-5126 for Terrace Restaurant. +853-8883-5127 for Yamazato.
Terrace Restaurant - complimentary bottle of wine for Dad
Yamazato - complimentary carafe of sake for Dad
The Adventurer - Your dad regales everyone with stories of all the crazy things he used to do when he was young. Surely it is your filial duty to encourage him to live on the edge again. Maybe even push him a little over the edge. Literally. Macau.com and AJ Hackett can help you with this. Address: Level 61 Observation Deck, Macau Tower. +86-20-3887-8163
