WATCH: Celebrity chef Josh Boutwood gives tour of new food park concept

MANILA, Philippines — Looking for new food adventures for New Year?

Celebrity chef Josh Boutwood and The Bistro Group recently opened My South Hall at the ground floor of S’Maison in Pasay City. The new fast-casual dining hub features a collection of restaurant counters offering fresh-to-order cuisines and beverages inside a single location.

According to Boutwood, apart from a wide food selection, the new food hall is set apart by its hip and modern ambiance.

“We wanted to please the unique collective taste of the Filipino palate, look into their favorite cuisines, and try to work around them. Thus, at My South Hall, we have Japanese, Chinese, Italian, American, and even milk tea,” Chef Josh explained.

Here are some of the concepts at the food hall:

  • Tabemashou (which means “let’s eat!”) offers Japanese lunch or dinner such as a variety of Sushi, Chicken Karaage, Ramen (Tantamen and Chasu Tonkotsu), Skewers (chicken, pork, beef), hot beef and salmon rice-filled Stonepots. 
  • Focused on Chinese flavors, Golden Treasures offers a variety of birthday noodles, Yang Chow Fried Rice, Egg yolk Buns, Pork Dumpling, Hakaw, Siumai, Chicken Feet and Shanghai Mien.

  • Roma presents Italian cuisine known for a symphony of flavors based on its staple ingredients — cheese, olive oil, tomato, basil and cured meats. It allows one to choose one's pasta then pair it with a sauce.
