A long time ago, someone asked a great figure, “Who is the person most deserving of my devotion throughout my life?” The great figure then answered three times: “Your Mother, Your Mother, Your Mother, then only your Father,” which has become the foundation for the concept that paradise is under the soles of a mother’s feet.
Does this mean being a Father is any less special? Of course not! This is proven by the existence of the National Father’s Day celebration, which falls every November 12th in Indonesia, serving as an encouragement to build a closer emotional bond with the father figure on a National level, complementing the National Mother’s Day celebration.
Now, to add to the special impression of National Father’s Day, Balimoon will recommend 3 suitable dishes for your small-scale party when celebrating Father’s Day, to make the celebration more memorable and leave a deep meaning. Check out the recommendations here!
1. Father’s Comfort Food Dish
An intimate celebration needs to leave an unforgettable impression, so serving formal food is not the right choice. Therefore, comfort food is needed because it holds historical and nostalgic value and will also be a personal dish for your Father.
Pursue Quality, Not Quantity
- Search for his favorite food from his childhood or a dish he always requests on certain occasions. Once you find it, focus on creating the best possible version of that dish.
- Why comfort food? Because comfort food often triggers past memories. This dish can become an icebreaker for conversations about your Father’s youth or funny moments from the past.
A small-scale party allows you to focus on the details and flavor quality of one main dish that is your Father’s absolute favorite, rather than having to provide various types of dishes that he might not even enjoy.
2. Light Dishes with a Sharing Concept
After the main course, the relaxed atmosphere must be maintained by serving a follow-up dish with a sharing concept to stimulate more intimate interaction and build a feeling of comfort and safety.
The Interactive Eating Concept
- No Need for Formality: The goal is to feel relaxed. Choose dishes that are easy to pick up and enjoy while sitting casually on the sofa or coffee table.
- Consider using a Charcuterie Board, which is an ideal platform for sharing food that can encourage conversation to become more interactive.
This sharing concept is perfect for pairing savory and sweet snacks interspersed with intimate conversations, which will create a new and unforgettable combination of experiences.
3. Dishes That Build an Intimate Atmosphere
The closing moment is the most crucial time for creating unforgettable memories by preparing a dessert and accompanying drink that must be designed to slow down the pace and encourage a moment of reflection.
Serenity at the End of the Night
- Choose a dessert that is rich, warm, and traditional. Avoid desserts that are too fancy or trendy.
- After a heavy meal, serve a drink that aids digestion and can help end the dining session refreshingly, such as:
- Aged Rum (Matured Rum): With notes of caramel and toffee.
- Herbal Liqueur: Rich in spices, served neat or on the rocks as a warm and aromatic nightcap.
Celebrating Father’s Day on a small scale will not reduce the festivity; instead, it will enhance the intimacy. The three types of dishes above will ensure the celebration feels personal, relaxed, and full of memories.
Choose the dishes that best suit your Father’s taste, and complement them with quality alcoholic beverages from Balimoon to create an intimate and memorable atmosphere.
