5 Must-Visit Food Halls in the Metro
They say that the “food court” hype is neglected as time passes by, aggravated by the emergence of food delivery services with just a tap away. However, there’s one thing that confused foodies completely didn’t notice—food courts have been evolving into more than just a family-friendly and go-to hang out place.
In fact, they’re now modernized and curated into something more upscale than a mere version of humble street stalls or mall food courts—in the form of food halls.
Kiss your boring desk lunch goodbye as we give you top five food halls you should check out in the Metro:
