There are some days when I don't really feel like being adventurous with food choices. Trying out new restaurants can result in one of two things- it may end up being the best meal you've had in a long time or it could also be the worst, which kind of ruins the night. Sometimes, we all just want to have a sure dinner.
| Sixty years of good chicken |
This is why we each have our own favorite restaurant lists. These are the places that we have fond memories of and go back to time and again for a number of personal reasons. On my list, there's Conti's because their baked prawns are fantastic, Bag of Beans for their lovely cheesecakes and coffee, Sonja's Garden because they serve the best dalandan juice on the face of this earth. For their incomparable fried chicken, Max's Restaurant has also been there for as long as I can remember. They're comfortably in the Top 10 and won't be getting dislodged anytime soon.
| Max's menu from decades past- one whole chicken is just five pesos! |
The same goes for a number of Pinoys, it seems. Max's Restaurant has been serving their "sarap to the bones" fried chicken for sixty years and counting. While they've modified their menu (they sold scotch and steak back in the day) and cooked up exciting offers (the most recent is their Chicken All You Can Promo) through the years, what has remained a staple in their menu is their original fried chicken. Max's original fried chicken is meaty, juicy, and fried to a golden crisp. Like their tagline says, it's sarap to the bones!
