One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating.
When it comes to the best fried chicken the first thing that comes up with my mind is Max's Restaurant maybe because this restaurant has already a name in the market even before I was born or even my parents were born. That's right Max's Restaurant has been out in the market for sixty long years and still "clucking" (sound of a chicken) in the chicken business. It's started right after the World War II by "Maximo Gimenez, a Stanford - educated teacher, befriended the American occupation troops stationed at Quezon City.This prompted Maximo to open a cafá where the troops could enjoy food and drinks.The cafá initially served chicken, steak and drinks. Maximo's niece - Ruby, who managed the kitchen, created a special recipe for chicken that became an instant favorite for the GIs. Soon, the Filipino public heard about the delicious chicken - tender, juicy and crispy - and they came too! Max's Restaurant was born. 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." So, what we see in today's Max's Restaurant is the rest of the history of this chicken house. Me and my boyfriend decided to spend our dinner in this restaurant after our work.And I was awed with the particular board in the wall which contains the menu with prices of the first Max's Restaurant on the year 1945.
Imagine my surprise that the whole fried chicken before was price at 5.00 well, before it was a big amount already compare to the price of today's fried chicken ranges from 300-500.00 I realized how our country's economy escalated for over a hundred years now. Well, as for the ambiance of the restaurant they have a homey ambiance and the crews are also good the service and food presentation are excellent. We ordered the regular whole fried chicken because their sweet and spicy chicken is not available already and chicken sisig for a change because we usually ordered pork sisig with egg and this is the first we've tried a chicken sisig.
And the overall verdict for its taste the chicken sisig is the champion!really tasty with a twist of a creamy sauce I loved the taste. As for the chicken my boyfriend loved it but to tell you honestly the taste of their fried chicken is really different from those with other restaurants. And because its a whole chicken we were not able to finish it because we were already so full to devour it. It's such a sumptuous dinner for us. Thanks Max's!
