If you’re hungering for some tasty morsels but can’t decide which, it’s time to rediscover and revisit My South Hall, a casual dining venue that’s home to your most sought-after cuisines under one roof.

Located at Conrad S Maison, My South Hall is the Bistro Group’s elevated take on a food hall that features communal dining with a hip and modern ambiance and Bistro’s thoughtful and customer-centric service.

Seafood lovers will be happy to get hooked by Fish & Co’s Fish & Chips along with other fresh salads and starters, shareable platters, pastas and some meaty offerings so carnivores are not left behind.

Gear up and go loco with the famous fire-grilled chicken and other Mexican cantina items at El Pollo Loco. And if you’re craving for sweet and satisfying donuts, there’s the much-raved-about Randy’s Donuts with its large, fluffy, and airy saccharine bites in different flavors—from signature classic, to premium, and deluxe. For that milk tea fix, welcome back Taiwanese-inspired WCKD. It has classic flavors and fancier ones like those infused with cream cheese and coffee jelly options for that ul-tea-mate drinking pleasure.

Talk about excitement and variety and My South Hall has got you covered with the introduction of new and exciting restaurant concepts that are a delight to explore. The Xi Nen Hot Pot, for instance, offers tender and flavorful Taiwanese-inspired hotpot dishes with beef, chicken, seafood flavors that will take hotpot dining to a whole new level. Customize sauces and seasonings according to your liking, making each meal—from the savory broths to noodles and soup dumplings—a unique and flavorful experience.
