My partner and I had a hard time finding it because we weren’t very familiar with the Greenbelt. But, it's no different in all the branches-it's like I'm still being taken back to my childhood. We tried the Kare-kare Rice Bowl. The mixture is delicious and there is also a lot of meat and ingredients. Case in point, the sauce is a bit too much. I also liked the Chicken Dinner. But, I was irritated by the scant scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream as dessert.

Max's like Aristocrat's are iconic chicken houses that have been part of the family tradition  as far back as I can remember. There is something about Max's that makes you feel  right at home.  Balikbayan friends and relatives  make it a point to visit any of their branches in one of their rare vacations, just to reminisce about days past where Max's was a part of. Its a good thing that despite more than half a century since it opened, their chicken never veered from its original recipe. In keeping with the times, they evolved a wee bit to include ulam toppings on their menu. These are old classics that can be ordered in their personal size ie kare-kare, etc. pigoutsundays.blogspot.com

This review is solely for their Corner Bakery: It was my brother-in-law's birthday and we're looking for an affordable cake. We were supposed to go at another bakeshop but it was a good 10minutes walk from Greenbelt. But then I remembered that Max's has its own bakeshop. So we went there to check the cakes. Some of the cakes were even discounted. I forgot the name of the cake that we bought. It's a chocolate cake with chocolate shavings on top - we just got the one that looks the most delicious. It's also discounted - we got it at less than 500pesos for the whole cake. I also got some rolls - Mocha Roll and Chocolate roll- that we can eat on the way to the party. I tried the rolls and they were pretty okay. They actually taste better than from other bakeshops. We weren't really expecting much from the cake since we got it at a discounted price and it wasn't really their specialty (except for the caramel bars) but it was a surprise. Their cake is so moist and fudgy. We all liked it so much. Highly recommended. I'll try the other cakes next time.
