Max’s chicken-all-you-can promotion @ P165 was such a big hit, I know. Where else in the world can you get irresistibly good chicken for a little more than $3 in an eat-till-you-drop fashion? Before the promo closed, I made sure to eat with three of my male officemates in Max’s Ma. Orosa branch in Ermita. Luckily, this was a secluded location and not as crowded as the others. This time around, it was nice taking a shot of the bones after we devoured all the chicken 😀
Now, Max’s is having a promo again, albeit in a smaller fashion. Diners will be treated to a free serving of rice and a glass of Pepsi if they order any of the two main dishes that the resto recently introduced.
You gotta try their chicken caldereta, a richly-flavored tomato-based stew traditionally garnished with potatoes, carrots, green peas and red & green bell pepper. I like my sauces, and I found this so yummy that am thinking of going back to Max’s again to savor this.
The second dish, pork binagoongan, should appeal to people who like the combination of sweet, spicy and salty in their dishes. This is a classic Filipino pork dish cooked in shrimp paste. I appreciate the Max’s version because it’s topped with sliced green mangoes, garnished with tomato wedges, served on a bed of fried eggplant and finally sprinkled with green onions. Looks so special, right?
Max’s says the chicken caldereta and pork binagoongan are part of the heirloom recipes of Nanay Ruby, the restaurant’s first cook who developed the recipe for Max’s sarap to the bone chicken. Order them today at any Max’s Restaurant nationwide, or call the Max’s delivery hotline 7-9000. Better yet, join the Max’s fan page on Facebook to be updated on the latest promos.
Spotted in Max’s Glorietta 3: the Max’s waiters that we saw in the chicken-all-you-can ads. Holy Schmoly, they’re real! 😀
Hello, Ajay!
It was nice meeting you at the Max’s event, though we didn’t get a chance to really chat.
Anyway, I posted about the event on our food blog Certified Foodies and if you want to see the list of attendees, I posted it on my personal blog: justanotherpixel.net
Hope to see you again next time!

Whoa, thanks. It was nice to meet all of you too 😉
Hi AJ,
Thanks for the nice comment.
It was great to meet you, and hope to see you in more events in the future.
Max’s Chicken is the best. I could eat there every week. In a strange way, it reminds me of the Swiss Chalet chain in Canada (even though Swiss Chalet chicken is rotisserie, not fried like Max’s).
It’s amazing. My American husband likes Max’s too 😀
Same here 😉
Thanks for the heads up. I’ll be sure to try these new dishes out.
It’s really surprising when they use real waiters as models but it really adds on the authenticity of the brand rather than hiring “real” models.
Yes Jab, I agree. What they did was look for their best-looking staff. Cost-saving baga 😀
Yeah, they probably saved a lot and upped the motivation of the waiters. Hehe.
Hi! Thanks for coming to the event. It was so great to see you again. Your baby’s soooooo adorable!!!! Pang baby calendar! Hahaha. 🙂 – Kim and Maui, Bright Idea
Thank you too Maui. We had fun at the event! Wish my baby was old enough to eat Max’s, haha
