During yesterday's program for Max's 70th Anniversary Celebration, the hosts asked random guests about our memorable Max's experiences.
I can't think of just one distinct memory at that time, because I realized it was a lot! Nothing grand, but little unforgettable memories and successes were spent in this restaurant. Max's is one of my go-to dinner place after a looong tiring day. Sizzling Tofu with garlic rice are my comfort foods. I can eat there alone in SM Makati, Festival Mall, or Glorietta after a day of meetings and events. I also had dinners with my parents in their Magallanes branch after a stressful bazaar weekend, it became our standard celebratory meal. Wherever and whatever Max's branch I go to, the service and dishes remain the same: good ol' comfort food, in a relaxing place, with consistent superb service through and through.
Max's Restaurant is, after all, a place for the family created by a family.
