Due to the COVID-19 lockdown nationwide, many establishments including well-loved restaurants have temporarily halted their operations. This might have led to most of us missing their signature dishes and all-time favorite meals these past few days. Fret not though, because some restaurants have offered ready-to-cook items from their menu to help you satisfy your cravings.
Max’s
The days you spent without Max’s signature chicken are over as they began offering a limited menu for delivery and takeout last Apr. 5. Included in their limited menu are their regular whole fried chicken, pancit canton and ready-to-cook marinated bangus and crispy pata.
Orders can be made via GrabFood and FoodPanda, Max’s official website or their open branches, whose list of operating hours and contact numbers are available here. Online delivery cut-off is at 4 p.m. every day for the safety of our riders.
