Food parks are the biggest thing that has happened to anyone who loves going on food trips. The food is always festive with a wide selection of cuisines that can truly satisfy your cravings.
The Palm City Food Park located in Lapu Lapu Street in Tagum City, pioneered this new food hub promising a variety of quick eats conveniently housed in one place. Owned and operated by Elegante De Propiedad Corporation, now officially with 9 tenants and counting since its opening last November 23, 2017.
The park was first to have a multi-level hangout in Tagum, along with 9ftx12ft LED wall, with elegantly decorated cable tables and lighted acrylic rounded glow sphere chairs, accentuated with white, and black accent interior, with an indoor garden vibe, rolled with synthetic turf artificial lawn grass that is attractive to the eye, a pleasant place that invites you to relax and enjoy the environment, a place where your children and pets can safely play.
Upon invitation from one of Davao ‘s seasoned nightlife circuit and events DJ Bert Manuel, allowed me to tour the whole place, chat with the stalls owners, and taste their food specialties. Throughout the day, DJ Bert will showcase the various sounds and styles of house music, as well as live performances.
