There was an air of excitement throughout the space, with many attendees greeting friends or taking photos of the architecture and living moss wall before ordering dinner at one or more of the 10 food stations around the perimeter of the food hall.
Within 15 minutes of opening, some stalls were already seeing some menu items sold out.
