The Yard is dubbed as “the coolest food park,” but more than that—it’s also the only food park probably on steroids. Just kidding. Jokes aside, The Yard features the most stalls at 30. Their layout is also pretty unique with three floors and shipping containers as food stalls. Even with your barkada, you’ll have to visit The Yard more than once to try everything. For first-timers, you can start with these 8.

This food park is going to make you look forward to a road trip to Fairview. Yep, that’s actually possible.
