Are you ready for another authentic Filipino cuisine from Max’s Restaurant? It has established the presence of heirloom dishes like its “sarap-to-the-bones” Fried Chicken, Kare-Kare, Sinigang, Crispy Pata and Pancit Canton in almost every Filipino celebration. After almost 7 decades, this homegrown brand is not resting on its laurels as it continues to create innovative ways to step up the Filipino’s dining experience to a whole new level. This time, Max’s redefines elegance in dining with its new epicurean spread.

Recently announcing its collaboration with Chef Rolando Laudico, one of the most recognized culinary experts in the Philippines today, Max’s Restaurant is serving up Max’s Dinner Specials, an opulent array of mouthwatering meals for its avid diners with highly discriminating tastes. Chef Laudico takes inspiration from Max’s world-famous Fried Chicken recipe and serves up new dishes with gourmet flair:

Seafood Tinapa Pasta – Spaghetti enthusiasts have a new dish to rave about with Max’s flavorful take on seafood pasta. This delicious recipe highlights smoked bangus complemented by other sea favorites like shrimps and squid, then sautéed in extra virgin olive oil, garlic, onions, red and green bell peppers, fresh tomatoes and chopped siling labuyo, and sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese and thinly sliced fresh basil leaves. A must-try for those who like their pasta hot and spicy.

Creamy Chorizo Pasta –Max’s gives an innovative and creamy twist to the Filipino’s favorite pasta. The good, old-fashioned spaghetti recipe is given a delightful kick with Max’s creamy sauce of Spanish chorizo sautéed in extra virgin olive oil, garlic, onions and fresh eggs. This dish is made even more sumptuous with Parmesan cheese and thinly sliced fresh basil leaves.

Ensaladang Pinoy with Bagoong Vinaigrette – An appetizing ingredient to your regular green sald, fresh eggplants are grilled perfectly for that smoky flavor and tossed with ripe tomatoes, onions, lettuce, julienned green mangoes, singkamas and basil leaves, then drizzled with sweet and tangy bagoong vinaigrette.

Tamarind Spiced Sweet Potato Chips – Sure to whet the appetite is Max’s deep-fried yellow kamote chips seasoned with savory tamarind spices.

Grilled Salmon Head and Belly – Indulge in the freshest catch from the sea with Max’s perfectly grilled salmon head and belly immersed in traditional inasal marinade and served with soy vinegar dipping sauce with a zest of atchara.

Beer–Braised Pata Tim – Mildly sweet flavor of slow-cooked pork pata marinated in savory beer, soy-based sauce, special spices and dried banana blossoms is a delectable adventure for the palate. Served on a bed of blanched native pechay and garnished with fried basil leaves, this new dish from Max’s is a sure hit!

Adobo Fried Rice – Max’s punches up the Filipino’s staple food with pan-fried pork belly sautéed with garlic and seasoned with adobo sauce. Satisfying and delicious on its own, this dish is also topped with diced salted eggs, fresh tomatoes, and sprinkled with chopped spring onions.

Max’s new line of dishes adds a touch of elegance to any intimate dinner affair. As Chef Laudico puts it, "Dinner has a unique kind of charm compared to any other meal of the day. It's when we explore palatable flavors while unforgettable moments unfold. With Max’s Dinner Specials, we created an exquisite experience for diners, using only fresh ingredients and incorporating traditional methods of food preparation. With these dishes, we want Filipinos to share delightful meals with their friends and loved ones, and re-discover why dishes are not only delectable, but unforgettable as well,”.” shared Chef Laudico.
