Lovin' Max...
Hey, this is not just some ‘emo’ entry about me drooling over someone. This entry is about my favorite, my most loved.
Max…Oh, Max
Hey!! The Max I’m pertaining to is Max Restaurant… just to clarify your mind.
First and foremost, let’s talk about its history. Max Restaurant started in the year 1945. Maximo Gimenez, a Stanford-educated teacher befriended the American occupation troops stationed at Quezon City. With this friendship, the soldiers frequently visited Maximo’s home for drinks, celebrations, talks, and alike. This gave Maximo the idea to open a café where the soldiers and troops could hang out. The menu, then, was chicken, steaks and drinks. Ruby, maximo’s niece, managed the kitchen. She created a special recipe for the chicken, and it immediately became a hit for the customers- the soldiers. Soon enough, the soldiers weren’t the only customers of the ‘café’. The other people heard about the mouth-watering chicken and so, the came too! This finally lead to the birth of Max Restaurant- the only one who occupies my guts, who fills my growling stomach. Hahaha…
Over the years, Max's Restaurant's popularity grew and became known as "the house that fried chicken built". It has expanded in Metro Manila, Southern and Northern Luzon, Cebu and California, USA.
My favorite menu( let’s face it, ‘food’ is not the word applicable because settling for only one of their food is not going to be helpful for my ‘condition’, the starving guts!) is the SET C from their Per Table Menu.
Let’s take the word per word definition, which I just made up.
Per Table Menu is the group of menus that is suitable for 5 to 10 people.
Set C full table consists of a complete set menu, from soup to dessert, good for ten people, which is just right for the family. This set includes the following dishes: Max’s Fried Chicken, Sinigang na Hipon, Boneless Bangus, Kare-kare, Lechon Kawali, Plain Rice, Roasted Nuts and Buko Pandan. It cost PHP 3870.90, last time I checked.
By the way, you could get a half-table for these menu types. For example, the Set C half-table consist of the same elements but lesser, of course, basically half of what the full –table promises. Still, it suffices for 5 people and costs PHP 1934.90.
You see? Other than the set being affordable, you could leave the restaurant with satisfied and filled stomachs. You can hardly walk after this feast!
Some other foods and menus you could enjoy are the following.
Beware! These foods could cause extreme ‘salivation’…if ever there is no word like that; I’m inventing it right now, because that’s what these pictures cause me to do…hahaha… I define it as excessive production of saliva…
Parenthetically, they’re offering some jobs. They need a Branch Admin Officer, Rider, Store Accounting Specialist, HR Specialist, Kitchen Staff, Dining Staff, Banquet & Sales Coordinator, Kitchen Supervisor, Dining Supervisor, Branch Manager, JR Systems Administrator, HR Assistant, Accounting Assistant, Accounts Payable Accountant, Franchise Area Manager, Technical Support Assistant, Liaison Officer, Cook, Maintenance Engineer, Quality Assurance Assistant, Warehouse Team Leader, and Accounting Assistant.

Since I’m already standing here, talking about food, I just want to give you some personal tips on choosing your to-be-favorite restaurant.
1. Consider the quality of the food.
Why would you call it your favorite restaurant if you think that the food sucks? Yes, it serves food making it a restaurant; but question is, do you like the food? How would you call it a favorite if you don’t appreciate or even like it? Think about the logic!
2. Consider the amount of the food.
If the food’s great but the amount is not worth it, yes. You could call it a favorite but why? How do you say you really, really, really enjoy it if you rarely go eat there? Let’s take the pattern and place it somewhere else. If we love a person, he or she is our ‘favorite’. Is Love at First Sight considered Love if we only saw them once? How are we to really love and appreciate them if we do not really see or feel what there is to love and appreciate? Logic!
3. Consider the staff’s attitude.
If the staff is rude and all, why would people consider eating there? They might as well find some decent karinderya where true Filipino hospitality is applied… Hahaha, just kidding, but it’s true.
……these are very applicable, I found out. But don’t take these tips incase someone working in the most gruesome restaurant is hitting on you… Priorities, people! (Hahaha…don’t believe these last 2 sentences I wrote before this one.)
This is the main page of my beloved Max: http://www.maxschicken.com/index.php?
Feel free to navigate it, it’s worth the time, effort and money!
A message to Max:
I love you…hope you’d see that!
…But I’m not endorsing you…YET!
Another fruitful thought:
Anything taken in excessive amounts is bad.
But sometimes, we deserve a treat or two. And I do agree with that.
We just have to know our limitation.
