"FOOD is life!" is one of the popular lines that you frequently hear nowadays.

Food lovers are the ones who never stop looking and trying something new just to satisfy their taste buds. In this generation, their population is growing real quick.

From Manila where it first became a hit, food parks are now stretched in Pampanga. And Kapampangans genuinely loves and patronize them. Food parks are fast becoming "in demand" in the food business today.

Their popularity invades Pampanga and took a big bang here, and from left to right they continue popping up in random location. After all, who doesn't want a place where you can eat with a lot of food choices. This will be perfect not only to those who are on a budget but also for food tripping and food hopping.

Here are some of the rising food parks in Pampanga: Moderno Food Park (City of San Fernando), Muceno Food Park (Angeles City), The Yard Food Park (Angeles City), Comos Food Park (City of San Fernando), Yatu Food Park (City of San Fernando), Nuevo Mechico Food Park (Mexico), Kombi Food Park (San Fernando), Pombrera Food Park (Guagua) and many more.

Street and market food-style stalls housed under one roof have different customized dining designs and mouth-watering foods. It is actually an effective way of getting customers so that the business will continue to grow and earn.

Businessmen will surely be delighted in developing new concepts and schemes to perk up this phenomenon in the coming years not just in Pampanga but in other provinces too. (Kathleen Garcia/UA Intern)
