New entry
Make your way down south and drop the anchor in Alabang‘s modern dampa known as Market Basket. Forget the typical wet market that you’re probably imagining now, Market Basket is a modern dampa and paluto that will serve up dishes that look like they came from a 5-star kitchen. Our insider tip: the chefs can whip up dishes off menu, as long as they have the ingredients for it.

As the restaurant name implies, a part of their menu is singularly devoted to its label. Their grilled cheese sandwich offerings include the The Classic Melt and Mushroom Parma Cheese Toast. It’s for all the cheese fans out there who mean business. It’s not for the haters who don’t know what their missing #sorrynotsorry. We recommend the Butternut Squash French Onion Soup Grilled Cheese, Bacon Mac & Grilled Cheesy, and their Slow Braised BBQ Pork, because they put cheese in literally everything.

1. Ramen Yushoken – Molito Lifestyle Mall
306 Favorites
Last month’s #1
Ramen Yushoken serves tonkotsu broth ramen using a recipe from ramen master, Yamagishi Kazuo. It’s a casual restaurant with fast service and a tight menu. It’s for ramen lovers in the South. It’s not for Makati diners—Mendokoro Ramenba a.k.a. Yushoken 2.0 is right in Salcedo Village! We recommend the Miso Tonkotsu Ramen or the spicy Tantan-men with Aji-Tamago on the side. Our insider tip: Ask for their off-menu items.
