The new food park is planned to feature “Opon’s Best,” which includes the place’s featured foods and delicacies. It opens every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 5:30 PM until midnight.
Various kiosks will fill the entire place, where food will be the only ones available for now, according to Lapu-Lapu City’s Public Information Officer Mark Anthony Bautista. However, they will allow the display of other products soon, as they are still organizing this.
