Food Parks and Halls Are an Indecisive Girl’s BFF

Let’s face it, we all love to eat out. As much as we try to stay healthy and save money, spending cash on some good food is always a good idea. If you’re like me, you don’t like being left with the decision of choosing where to grub. With so many choices out there, I can never decide. I always get stuck between two or more options. For situations like this, a food park or food hall is a wise solution. Not only will you be able to order from different vendors but everyone is sure to find something they enjoy. You can order from various cuisines, get some drinks, and my favorite part: Ordering more than one kind of dessert. If you’re looking for somewhere to spend your money, check out these food parks and food halls around the metro.

Pick a stuffed crust pizza, vegan noodle bowl, and some refreshing cocktails. Located at 5770 Ebro Street, Poblacion, Makati City
