Market Basket - A Modern Dampa Located at Alabang

     Bloggers had a chance to try the sumptuous food that Market Basket Modern Dampa are offering to their beloved customers. A day that our stomach are full after the food taste last Wednesday (April 26). 

   Market Basket which is located at River Park, Festival Alabang Muntinlupa City is perfect for family, couple and set of friends since most of their meals are of 2 or more servings. The difference of Market Basket among Seafood Paluto is that you don't need to go to a market to buy your chosen seafood. At Market Basket, the seafood are readily available and you just choose for a perfect dish that they will cook for you. Also they have a set menu for everybody.
