I am not really a fan but I still tried to change my perception of this resto. I tried to eat here again recently. I don't know what is with their chicken here that doesn't call to me. I love fried chickens, mind you. Also, I love roasted chicken if the juiciness is maintained. Grilled is great too, with the right flavor. We ordered the package meal for 4-5 persons which costs 800. It has pancit, a whole baby chicken (haha), garlic rice plate, dessert of buko pandan and drinks.The rice was garlicky and I loved it. The pancit tastes okay with a few toppings of squid balls and what not.The chicken tastes okay to me while it was still hot. I just don't think it is enough for 4-5 heads to feed. If not for the sauce suggestion of a 'friend' I will not enjoy eating it. Dessert was so-so. You see, I don't feel like I am eating something special here. The price is a bit on the expensive side considering I don't feel like the food is at par with the value. Anyways, again, it may be just me and my tastebuds but I don't really enjoy dining here in whichever branch.

The House That Fried Chicken Built has built a good meal for me. I don’t often go to Max’s, but when I do I always enjoy their Basic Meal (P190). It consists of a quarter of their famous fried chicken with steamed rice or rolls, a glass of either soda or iced tea, and a caramel bar from their bakery. The chicken is soft and buttery, with a thin crispy skin that gives a gentle crackle and pop with each bite. I enjoy putting a lot of ketchup with my chicken as it adds a delightful sour tang. The iced tea is refreshing and the caramel bar is chewy but not crumbly. Both are sweet but not overly so. Guests can request for unlimited iced tea for an additional price. The same is true for upgrading the rice to garlic rice. For dessert I got the chance to try their Mango Créme (P75). It is like a cheese cake on a graham cracker bottom with mango bits and grains of buttery, sugary streusel. Each bite is sour from the mango, before leading to the cooling cream, and then ending with the sweetness of graham cracker and streusel. I recommend this dessert when wanting something new from their selection.

When I crave for authentic filipino food, this is my go-to place. Their fried chicken makes me feel home. It’s like the usual home cooked fried chicken your mom would cook for you. However, my main concern is their air-condition. Like seriously. Been here so frequent and their room temperature has always been the same. Even when food is good, but if you feel too uncomfortable because of the room temperature, the total experience suffers.
