A BOWL FOR YOUR EVERY MOOD

"Max's has just what you need to fit your mood each day..."

Indeed how clever it is for Max's Kabisera to incorporate music and food to our mood. It is true that our cravings are mood-centric. When we feel sad, we eat our favorite cuisine to lift us up from the doldrums. When we are happy, we celebrate with the most expensive item in the menu. Much like music, a song can transport us to feelings of euphoria or melancholia

'We understand our customers when they say that their mood affects the food they want to eat. That is why we want to make sure that whatever mood they are in, they can always come to Max's Restaurant and enjoy a bowl of rice topped with their all-time Pinoy favorites ' -PAOLO SERRANO, Max's Chief Operating Officer

Max's Kabisera

2 brands in one? Why not ?

Max's Kabisera joined forces a few months back to give us its loyal diners a bit of each restaurants much-loved recipes in one venue.

So you will find the classic Max's chicken here alongside Kabisera's famous chicken skin

AMBIANCE

A two-story edifice with high ceiling, its wood-industrial-homey-garden feels is pleasing to all senses. It was spacious, airy and conducive to families or friends bonding together

I can stay here all day in this marvelous cocoon which is a haven of coolness against the scorching heat outside.

RICE BOWL

The concept of rice bowls is not really unique to Max's Kabisera. You have dotonbori from the Japanese cuisine while the Chinese have their bowls of rice toppings.

Max's actually started serving their bowl variants in 2017. Per Chef, the restaurant just "maxified" their core products by incorporating it in a Max's bowl.

Originally conceptualize with single people in mind, the idea is to celebrate individuality not necessarily isolation. So 4 friends can order their preferred bowl and can share to everyone so each friend can experience the others' bowls.

The first 7 bowls introduced in 2017 are ...

Sizzling Chicken Bowl
Beef Caldereta
Adobo Ribs
Crispy Pata
Kare Kare Rice Bowl
Bangus Belly Paksiw Rice Bowl
Fish Fillet in Black Bean Sauce

Enter Max's Kabisera New 4 Bowls...

Attended a Private Tasting Event by Max's Kabisera yesterday. They had new 4 bowls of rice which will be available to the public soon

SEAFOOD KARE KARE RICE BOWL

Sauce was thick, rich and deliciously peanut (y). Shrimp, squid and fish were succulent and fresh-tasting.

MAX'S SPICY TOFU

An all-time favorite of the family, this dish did not disappoint despite not being served n a sizzling plate. Flavors were spot on. Portion was just right for one person.

SWEET AND SOUR FISH FILLET RICE BOWL

This is just in time for the Lenten Season which began with Ash Wednesday March 5. Fish fillet was crunchy outside while retaining its moistness and flakiness inside.

CHOPSUEY RICE

sauteed fresh vegetables, pork, shrimp and chicken liver and gizzard

Vegetables were crisp and crunchy. Sauce was flavorful. Health-conscious individuals will love this variant.

Overall..

74 year old iconic Pinoy brand Max's amazes with its tenacity to remain up there in a sea of upstarts that seem to crop up front, left , right and center.

It would do well for newbies to learn from the master in terms of creativity and longevity.

I still can not get over their mood-centric bowls of rice. Indeed Max's is well prepared for anyone's mood for the day with its over 10 Max's rice bowls which starts at P149.
