Inside lives a vivacious space with designs coupled by elegant lightning. There are also japanese bamboos standing tremendously on some corners of the area.

Our team was able to try Isaw, liempo and dynamite. It was served with soy sauce and slicced calamansi. It feels homey to see how they serve it using banana leaves on ratan plates. The taste is very tasty and unique. The aroma curling up from the grill makes me practically tipsy. As it happens, I am waiting for the pork belly to arrive. A leisurely bath in the vapours deepens their scrumtious flavour and softens their chewy texture. Park and Grill has truly redefined our standards about streetfoods.
Now, people inside will no longer hold their cravings for these kind of delicacies as it already exist as permanent option.

5. MONSTER BURGER
A hamburger is almost always the best value on a menu, calorie-wise and fillingness-wise that make sense to customer.
At times when we are in a hurry, hamburgers are one of the easiest food to eat while on the go. No matter what time it is whether its breakfast, lunch, or dinner we grab a hamburger and might throw in some fries and a soda to go with it. Many restaurants are known to make their hamburgers in a specific way. Preparation differs from restaurant to restaurant. But what really makes a hamburger taste so delicious is starting with the price.
Being known outside, Monster burger still makes one of the loudiest roar inside the park. The buns are inspired by lively colors merging with the tasty, soft bread. The patties are made with high quality beef, then cooked to perfection. With all the demands required to prepare this, Monster Burger still manage to adjust their prices to very considerate figures.
