- Max's Restaurant is a historic establishment that was founded in the Philippines in 1945 for the American occupation forces, and it is particularly famous for its fried chicken. Opening immediately after the war, the restaurant features a menu that combines the traditional flavors of the Philippines with American-style fried chicken, making it popular with both locals and tourists. The cooking method involves marinating the chicken in a special seasoning, frying it to achieve a crispy texture, and ensuring a tender and juicy interior, typically served with garlic rice. Incidentally, the author seems to have forgotten their initial purpose due to their strong love for Filipino cuisine, despite claiming to dislike America, as they end up enjoying the fusion menu with American influences.
