Max's Fried Chicken
After spending the afternoon in Tiendesita's yesterday, this place was our last stop for dinner. The restaurant was packed with sales people who I presume is a common hang out for their meetings and client calls. It is comfy with soothing mellow background music. They have a small bakeshop right in front of the counter where cakes and pastries are on (20% off) sale. And more important is that the wash area and the restroom are kept dry and sanitary.
The company claims that Max's Fried Chicken is the house that fried chicken built. I do believe so because they have been here for 60 years now. It's been a while since we last ate the delicious chicken and D and I are glad that they now have a bottomless "sago at gulaman" for only P60/$1.20.

Aside from the nice place and the great food, we would like to commend them for the satisfactory customer service they provide. Expect a well-mannered staff that says "with pleasure" and "certainly" with a genuine smile. It seems that the company spent a fortune in training their personnel, and it's definitely worth it. All the other companies should do the same.
Visit the place and find out for yourself. Now, to charge Max's at Tiendesita's for the good reviews, har har.
sarap to the bone talaga!

MAX's!!! Isa yan sa namiss ko sa pinas. Iba kasi talaga yong fried chicken nila, especially the spring chicken. I can eat almost a whole of it. Kaya hindi ko pinalampas nong umuwi ako. Pero bakit sobrang tamis yata nong ice tea nila?
Damn... It's fun to eat.

Hello. I have my own Max story. When we were kids (this means in the early 60s), each time we'd go to Manila for Christmas or summer vacation with my grandma, we'd always ask for Max fried chicken (or Aristocrat barbecue with Java rice, he he). Then when we went to college in QC, Max was practically 3 minutes away from the house we rented. Again, we'd eat Max fried chicken at least 5 times a week. When came home to Bacolod, we'd still ask for Max each time somebody went to Manila. So when Max finally opened in Bacolod last year, it was a big celebration for all of us! The long wait's over.

Sounds like they could export the customer service over here.
What are my chances of having some sent Fed-Ex to Minnesota, USA?

Do you have recipe for Max's fried chicken? I do :)
BTW, speaking of restaurants, two I miss and haven't been to lately -- Juan Soy and Pinoydon.
Posted by Señor Enrique | 7/06/2006 09:45:00 AM
Argh! I'm sorry, but I'm not a fan of Max's. I just don't dig their food, especially their chicken! I dunno but I just hate the way it looks. Boo hoo to me! But bravo to you because, my dear, YOU have the potential to be a good product endorser. Move over Kris Aquino and Manny Pacquiao! :-D

Tin-tin - I remember I learned that from a steakhouse, but I can't recall the name of the place :(
Senor - I don't have the recipe but I'll be glad if you send me one :) We miss too many restos Senor, I'm afraid we might end up being Supersize Me, har har.
Posted by j | 7/06/2006 04:27:00 PM
Nagulat din nga kami Mama Jenn sa sago at gulaman na yan eh :)
Thanks for the kind words Talamasca, too bad you don't like Max's. I was gonna treat you sana because you praised me - we'll eat at Max's. he he!
Talaga Ate Irene? Yun ang hindi ko pa na experience sa Max's wedding reception :)
Posted by j | 7/06/2006 04:30:00 PM
hello Shoinge, you better visit my country to have a taste :)
naku Radiosa, masarap kumain sa lahat ng binanggit mo. i warn mo muna bf mo, nang makaipon siya ng malaki, he he
yun talaga hindi pwedeng hindi ko banggitin Lojik, impressed kasi kami ni hubby dahil bihira na ang may ganyan kagadang training sa mga staff. madalas sa mga pinupuntahan namin, may nakasimangot!
