MAX'S RESTAURANTS

Max's restaurants have been an institution in Manila in the past 60 years.

 They are known for their chicken. Sad to say, ever since they

 have expanded rapidly, franchising out their concept all over

 the Philippines - their chickens never do taste the

same as the good old days.

 They serve the chicken pieces in little baskets. The first time we

 were given our chicken, MR noticed that there was an half-eaten

 chicken drumstick in the basket with our pieces. He told me

about this and I had my eye fixed on that basket the second time

 the waitress refilled our plate. The half-eaten chicken

drumstick was still there! uh-oh!

Wait-list. People sitting inside, sitting outside, waiting for their turn

 to get their hands on the fried chicken. It's worth it, but I don't

think I'll be eating fried chicken anytime soon.

Max's Spring Chicken is still up to scratch. Even though their taste

have somewhat degraded even since their massive expansion via

 franchising. What's a spring chicken I hear you ask? It's basically

a young chicken (I think). Beside the chicken are kamote chips.

They only serve a stingy four pieces of those chips! Cheapos!

Soup of the Day: Beef and Cabbage Soup (P41.00)

 Beef and Cabbage Soup. A Creamed Beef and Cabbage Soup. Quite different

 from the usual Clear Beef and Cabbage Soup. SM finished this whole.

I had a spoonful and I liked it too. It was

 perfectly seasoned.

Pancit Bihon Regular (P170.00)

This was very good pancit. It had lots and lots of meats, seafood,

and vegetables. One thing I don't especially like in Pancit is

celery, this one had celery but it wasn't overempowering.

This was also very moist!
