So here it goes…
I’ve actually heard about Maginhawa Street and about the food stores along it before but was not intrigued until I saw a lot of feeds about it in facebook, specifically The StreAt: Maginhawa Food Park. I got really curious and decided to check more about it.
Based on their instagram account (@streat_foodpark), the food park is open from 5pm onwards Tuesday – Sunday. I decided to pay a visit, of course, with my friends. And yeah, Saturday it is! We made it, thanks to Nokia’s here maps, but were a little bit late. Haha.
It’s pretty cool to see container vans turned into stalls and there are about 11 of them. The food park isn’t as big as I thought. There are few tables outside the stalls, others with umbrella to shade on, others really bare. Since it was raining before we got there, some of the chairs and tables are wet. So better be early guys and reserve seats!
Here's how the park looks when we got there, a bit crowded,
Our first stop: Magpie Cafe!
It’s a Korean coffee shop with a twist. We tried their best seller Korean Ice Cream. You can try it with a waffle or a bingsoo. We tried both. The waffle was okay but I’d go with Bingsoo. It’s a shaved Ice cream, a must try!
The Lost bread with a theme of French toasts and milkshakes was what we’re eyeing next. It’s just sad that they accommodate customers by batch and there was a really long line waiting for their turn. So yeah, it’s a no, no but hey, will definitely try it first the next time we hang out there!
Third Stop: Bricks and Copper Turkish Cuisine
From the name itself, it won’t be hard to guess the theme, right? Anyway, our good friend, Gab, tried Pita Doner which he said was really good, thumbs up, especially for the hungry ones. I forgot to take a picture first so when I remembered and he was about to bite, I grabbed it leaving him with a dinosaur look at his face. HAHA! Sorry!
Mexikombi serves Mexican street food such as nachos, burritos and soft tacos. The name itself is from the words Mexican and Kombi, which is a vintage Volkswagen Kombi where the foods are served. All of us just wanted to try snacks which are light, not a very common dish, and will be a good food while hanging out and chit-chatting. We picked Nachos. And boy, it was good.
This café offers small bites dishes but the one that made us love this café was the buffalo wings. Our all time favourite. Two thumbs up for this. Not being exaggerated, their buffalo wings are really good. It’s cool that they gave us disposable hand gloves and eat with our hands without getting messy. We even had our second round. We chipped in and bought another one. Ella had a mistake of buying mixed spicy and original buffalo wings. Don’t get me wrong, the spicy ones are really good, it’s just that it was really spicy. When I mean spicy, it really is. XD
From the name itself, they offer various hotdogs but it’s not what I tried there. What I bought was an iced tea. I made a mistake of buying the small one instead of 1 liter. So guys, if you’re going to buy iced tea there, it’s more sulit to buy the 1L.
So there yah go, our Streat food park adventure…
But before we go home, we tried this milkshake store in Maginhawa(not in the foodpark).
Our last stop: A Taste of Heaven MilkShake Hub

This store serves a THICK kind of milkshake. It was really, really thick. We were not even able to finish the whole thing though. The experience was okay but for me the flavours are not that exciting at all.
