So what's the deal with food hubs?

Food hubs have become a favorite hunt for Pinoy foodies. And why not? They are a one-stop-shop to try various cuisines and restaurants. Plus, the friendly atmosphere gives it a sense of community.

Poptalk host Tonipet Gaba, together with chef Rolando "Lau" Laudico, Kapuso actress Kate Valdez and fan reviewer Mark Soriano, visited three food hubs with unique concepts.

Platina Modern Japanese village in Makati is a three-level hub which opened in June this year. The 16 food brands which make up the place are all franchises from Japan.

Eatogether Food Hall opened in March this year and is located inside a mall in Mandaluyong. It has 14 food stalls and operates a cashless system. To enjoy the food here, one must load up a card which they provide or use a credit or debit card.

The Pallet in Makati is the oldest of the three, having opened in October last year. It was built with mostly upcycled materials like ecobricks and palochina pallets. It has 10 stalls which serve various cuisines like Singaporean, Filipino and Mexican food.
