Handout </div>&quot;I love to eat, and I know how hard it is sometimes to decide what to order when you&#x27;re at a restaurant. That&#x27;s how the idea for World Kitchens came to life,&quot; said Tan. &quot;Whether you’re traveling, dining with family, or out with friends — everyone has different tastes. You can order from different kitchens and enjoy exactly what you&#x27;re craving. It&#x27;s all about making dining an experience everyone can enjoy together,&quot; he added.Only around half of the live stations were open when ABS-CBN News dropped by World Kitchens during its soft opening phase, but the luxury food hall is set to have its grand opening later this week, before Valentine&#x27;s Day.By then, guests can enjoy World Kitchens&#x27; more than 250 menu items, from premium fatty tuna rolls to burrata and prosciutto, as well as unique beverages like ube-flavored latte.
