Celebrating Father’s day amid a pandemic is not exactly what everyone had in mind when 2020 started. As the country starts to pick up where it left off, authorities still advice against social gatherings and going to public places unless completely necessary.

So how can one make the most of the situation?

To thank the man who has been the strong foundation of the family, Asian Dragon listed the top 10 ways to honor dads with a feast this year.

1. Chef Margarita Forés x Pappa Amore
