Market Basket was our first stop for the website Food Crawl with GIST.PH!Market Basket served "Market Basket Seafood Hotpot" It was an awesome dish! Everyone in the room loved it. The Hotpot had everything from Fish Dory Fillet, to Squid, to Shrimps, to Oysters... the combination of all the flavors of the seafood, plus the sauce made it MAGICAL. Will definitely visit River Park for Market Basket again.

This was the last stop of our website Food Crawl in Riverpark, and gladly, as there was no more room in our tummies, all we had was dessert. And what a dessert it was.We had the Louis XV, The Dessert. While the French monarch did damage the power of France, weaken France's treasury, discredited the absolute monarchy, and make 18th-century France more vulnerable to distrust and destruction, The Dessert did nothing of the sort. What it did do was punctuate our visit to the South quite nicely, as the creamy chocolate dessert crowned with a macaron and a festive candy cane complemented all the stuff we put in our faces that day. The dessert was crafted especially by their chef; she had a lot of fun explaining the dish to us, and it seems that she loves what she's doing and puts a lot of heart at what she does, which really comes out of the dessert.Another place to be bookmarked in Rivercity, as this dessert is but a tiny fraction of what they offer. Bonus is the BnB chic they did with their interiors and the inspirational quotes in every surface of the second floor. Very, very cool.With Janix Lo, Elaine Taningco, Noel Peñafuerte, Gabbi Carballo, Gito Villegas

Dessert time! Together with some website people, we were able to try the Louis XV, a cushiony chocolate mousse covered with dark chocolate ganache and topped with a french macaron. This dessert retails for Php 250 per serving. You have to agree when I say that this dessert is truly the perfect sweet to top off a grand gastronomic experience. I paired it with a Twinnings berry tea and the result is divine! 💖Since Market Basket lives up to its tagline "Modern Paluto", I came back to try out their seafood offering. They have an interesting menu set and very accommodating staff. We end up trying out their Assorted Seafood Platter which consists of Grilled Prawns, Squid, Mussels and Assorted Fishes for Php 1530. According to the waiter, this'll be good for up to 4 persons. The order comes with steamed rice and a salad. As soon as we gave our order, the pitcher of iced tea and salad was delivered to us shortly. The lettuce is crunchy and the dressing is inviting that my sisters and I didn't realize we've swept the whole salad in a snap. For 20 minutes or so, we waited for the main course for quite some time. We felt hungry and bitin that's why we count the minutes till the platter finally came. Good thing that the interiors were so insta-worthy we were kept busy with taking photos of the interior. The Assorted Seafood Platter didn't fail us at all! The waiting time is truly worth it because of the well-cooked grilled fresh seafood and the refillable tasty tomato & onion mix. The tanigue could stand on its own because of how savory it is. The clams and mussels are also tasty. Walang tapon talaga! Just the shells. Haha. We end up ordering 3 more cups of rice and 3 refills of the tomato & onion mix because we truly enjoyed the platter that we got. I'm truly coming back with my family soon for more yummy seafood treats. 😍

For the past few years, I've always had a target restaurant on where to celebrate my birthday lunch/dinner. This year, though, I came up with nothing. Not knowing where to go but wanting to celebrate, we ventured out to River Park to try out Market Basket.As it is my first time to try a dampa-style restaurant and wanting to be safe, I ordered Seafood Pasta from their menu. I was most looking forward to trying out an aligue-based pasta but I tasted only tomato. Still, it was very, very good I finished the plate all to myself.Another dish that we tried was the Salmon Belly Sinigang which the family enjoyed because of the very sour taste of its soup. The main attraction would have to be the Grilled Stuffed Squid. It was grilled just right that it tasted smokey, but not too much that we felt like we'd have cancer from eating all the burnt parts.What introduced, intrigued, and enticed me to try Market Basket was a picture on website of a dessert consisting of a sizzling hotplate with macapuno balls and ube ice cream on it. If you know me well enough, you know that I am a sucker for anything ube. I tried ordering the dish but apparently, instead of macapuno balls, they serve it with mangoes now. Unfortunately, they didn't pair well together as the mangoes were sour. Also, if you plan on ordering this dish, as soon as it is served, mix the mangoes with the syrup immediately so as not to make the latter bitter.Incidentally, Market Basket was also our fourth and final stop in website's food crawl. We were to have Louis XV, which, by its name, scared me because at that time, I literally cannot eat anymore. It was a relief to know that Louis XV is a dessert. It was special to me because it was also my first time to eat a macaron. We were also offered either coffee or tea. I chose coffee and it proved to be the right choice because it went so well with our dessert.Just recently, we found ourselves back in Market Basket to satisfy my cravings. This time around, we had Sinigang na Lapu Lapu, Baked Oysters, Grilled Stuffed Squid (again), Tinapa Rice, and Puttanesca.The Salmon Belly Sinigang we had previously was better than the Sinigang na Lapu Lapu we had this time around but it was the same very sour soup so it was still a hit. Some of the oysters they served weren't completely baked but then again, oysters are oysters so it was still good. The Tinapa Rice was infused with just the right tinapa flavor and it went well with the salted egg. If I said I enjoyed the Seafood Pasta I had before, I enjoyed their Puttanesca even more! Sipping on my Orange Shake gave me the beach vibe! It was so refreshing it served as a good ending to my meal.I know Market Basket's claim to fame is their dampa-style restaurant, but I think their extremely very good tasting pasta dishes also deserve the spotlight!

My parents and I decided to try this place and I'm glad we did! I was hesitant to go because I'm not much of a seafood person so I was glad to see there were other options too.We had Sinigang ng Maya Maya, Prawns cooked in Chili Garlic and Lechon Kawali Sisig. The Sinigang was the right amount of asim and according to my parents, the prawns were good too. However, we all agreed our favorite dish was the Lechon Kawali Sisig! I had never tried this style of sisig before but it's now my fave!One con: the service was slow, but the staff was accommodating nonetheless!I also saw reviews of the Louis XV dessert on website but unfortunately, it was out of stock. I guess that means I have to come back another time and eat more Lechon Kawali Sisig!

quite expensive! nothing really special with the dish and nothing that would make it stand out, well, at least you can give it a try. it may be ideal for families or groups but i'd prefer to dine somewhere else.

Staff were very accomodating and very very nice! Kudos to the one who managed to give us free cake for our birthday celebrant with free happy birthday music and candle! The food is so delicious especially their pork sisig and pinakbet. Worth every penny. It's our first time dining here and will definitely come back! Thank you Market Basket! 😊
