Have you ever noticed the birth of food parks nowadays? I
noticed that food parks are like mushrooms. They are suddenly everywhere. I
first heard and read about the concept which I think started from the metro. Eventually,
it also transformed different provinces way of eating-out. Resto were so out
and food parks are so in!
Here in our province alone, I discovered and visited three
food parks. Then suddenly, there’s the birth of three more. (Heard it from a
reliable source.) There was actually a lot in Pampanga alone!
From those three that were already opened, I paid a visit
recently at the Muceno Food Park in Angeles City. Muceno Food Park was recently opened last Feb. 24, 2017, with around 25 concessionaires which caters different
types of food to drinks. Pampanga Bloggers Society was privileged to be invited
by some of its stalls for the food review.
I first tried Wicked Wings and I love the blend of its spicy flavor. The spicy meter on their wings was just right and not too painful to bear. Also their Glazed variant was a hit! Better than the usual Glazed chicken you’ll get at the mall. Taco truck also served Steak Taco and Crispy Pork Belly Taco to us.
Milkshake Lab also has creative drinks but too sad I wasn't able to taste the drinks as I was so busy capturing photos. Pomodoro served delicious pizza and pasta. They have the Bolognese and Pesto for pasta while Quattro Formaggi and Specialle dela Casa for the pizza.
For Bek's Bibingka, they served three different ones, the Cheese Overload, the Ham and Cheese and the Pandan one. I so so soooo loved the overload one. Obviously it's overloaded with cheese and tasted so great that I even took some home.
From all the juices, I liked Daily Detox array of juices from Lime Orange, Calamansi Cucumber, Lemon Orange, Throwback Friday, Saturday, and Thursday. I drank the Calamansi Cucumber and it tasted so refreshing and you will have the feeling that you drank a very healthy drink!
Chef Cozma has different food in their menu. They have Shawarma Plate, Shawarma Rice, Shawarma and Chicken Kebab Rice among others. I even tried visiting their grilling station where they cook their bbq.

I recommend the place for being so cool unlike other food parks because it's open-air. They also have unique concept as per stall doesn't have the same food choices which means they do not compete with each other's business.
I would like to extend our gratitude to the stalls who participated in the review. It's actually heartwarming because we started with only 2-3 stalls but when the other stalls knew that we are having a review, they decided to participate on the review last minute. Hoping for more collaborations with them next time.
Until the next food park trippin'. Xoxo 💜
Food parks are interesting as there are many choices available.It seems this place is attracting food lovers.Chicken look delicious.And other food choices too..
ReplyDeleteYup. I love their buffalo wing flavored ones.
DeleteWow! Your food images are superb! I can't believe how beautifully you've managed to photograph everything - it makes me hungry to read! It's also a shame you couldn't taste the Milkshake Lab drinks, they looked heavenly! I'm looking forward to what you manage to create next! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the good words. Hoping I can have more reviews like this in the future.
DeleteWell, this reminded me of Mercato. From all the food choices, it certainly is enticing to try everything that you see! The food photos you took showcases the talent you have as well as the plating skills of those who prepared those. Now, I'm off to grab some snacks. Hahaha.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Yes, I've heard and read about Mercato and looking forward to visit the place too.
DeleteI have never been to a food park before but I did experience a food hall in London's hippiest neighborhood, Shoreditch. The food you've taken photos of looks so delicious, I could immediately eat that pizza and pasta plates. The chicken skewers captured my sight as well, I can imagine how good their are after being grilled over fire.
ReplyDeleteI love pizza and pasta too. Meat from the grill excites me well, especially when they're taken from the heat and served fresh.
DeleteYup, noticed how food parks come one after another. It seems everywhere there is a new food park to visit. Never imagined the trend also reaches beyond Manila. Those chicken and milkshake are so tempting. Too.bad im reading your post at 1:06am and I am starving.
ReplyDeleteYup. There's even news that a food park here will be up with over 100+ concessionaires. I wonder how that will look like.
DeleteI love the food park culture! I love that you get taste so many kinds of food and drinks in one area. It's a great way to do a food crawl. Just recently, a food park with a basketball court opened near our house so your post reminded me to visit it one of these days.
ReplyDeleteI also like it because it's one area with so many options. However, sometimes food park with lots of stalls tends to be so hot because of all the kitchen around the place. Good thing Muceno isn't that hot compared to other places.
DeleteWow, while reading and seeing your photos, you have just made me hungry at this very hour. I'm glad that you were able to try all these foods in one place. I haven't experienced this kind of food gateway and I think this is super fun and my stomach would be very happy. I like how you captured all your photos, very tempting.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Sorry if you were punished because of this post hehe
DeleteI like the idea that the stores participated in this food park have different line of businesses. It makes us decide what food to try! Like literally, get everything since they all have unique offerings. Oh, it's just me who can't relate with the food park. It sure isn't an in here. Anyhoo, I find it really interesting!
ReplyDeleteWell I think, it also depends on the place. Food parks were recently in nowadays but we have something like this for a while now.
DeleteHa...ha...am a food lover & love your posting here with all the nice food photos ;) am hungry....ha...ha....wish I am now at this food park to enjoy the fried chicken wings, cold beverages, pizzas etc. also food park is an interesting business concept though, wish Malaysia will have a food park too. Cheers, SiennyLovesDrawing
ReplyDeleteBut Malaysia has a lot of interesting food there. Will love to be there soon.
DeleteWoooow~ Why did I read this post at midnight???! Now I'm too hungry and want to eat everything. :( But hey, good thing you have a lot of food parks there! And the food looks promising. I will try to go there some time soon!
ReplyDeleteGood luck. Hope you'll find the place awesome. :)
DeleteIt's great to have a detox juice and then all those food. Hahaha. I'd love to try the chicken wings. But I compare every single one with Frankie's :)
ReplyDeleteLoved the Wicked Wings too! THE JUICE WAS IMPECCABLY AWESOME!!! :)
