Daddy at Home (企鹅爸爸) is a Singaporean television series which debuted on the local Chinese language channel Channel 8 on 2 November 2009. It was screened every night at 9pm from Monday to Friday.

The series' Chinese title literally means "penguin father". As the series is about house husbands, the title was derived from the fact that Emperor penguins are the only penguin species of which the male is fully responsible for incubating the eggs.

Liu Bang (Li Nanxing) is senior vice-president of a bank and takes great pride in his social standing. His friend Ye Zhengkang (Chen Hanwei) is a house husband who looks after the household and children while his wife Meihui (Cynthia Koh) owns a beauty parlour. Liu Bang, being a traditionalist, disapproves of this arrangement but Zhengkang is undaunted by the unwanted attention he occasionally receives due to his unusual "occupation".

However, the financial crisis hits Singapore and both Liu Bang and Zhengkang find themselves cash-strapped. Liu Bang in particular was the worst affected. As he had offended a superior years ago, he quickly became a target in the mass entrenchment. His wife Xinbei (Ann Kok) is forced to find a job to support the family. Liu Bang has to swallow his ego as he is suddenly forced to take over homemaker duties from his wife.

Meanwhile, Meihui's younger brother Jinfeng (Adam Chen) moves in with the family. The carefree happy-go-lucky Jinfeng falls head over heels for his nephew's tuition teacher Ruxuan (Dawn Yeoh) and tries his best to woo her.

Daddy at Home earned several nominations at the 2010 Star Awards.The other dramas nominated for Best Drama Series are Together , Housewives' Holiday , Perfect Cut 2 & Reunion Dinner and Best Theme Songs are Together , Perfect Cut 2 ,Table of Glory and The Ulimatum
