Me and da sistahs went to Max's of Manila for lunch this past weekend.
This Buko Pandan ($4.95) was a major hit . . . soooooo refreshing. It's made with young coconut mixed with pandan leaf gelatin and tapioca with coconut ice cream and rice flakes. Ono!!
This Classic Pork Sisig ($10.95) was a miss. I doubt we'd ever order "pork cheeks" again. The taste was actually good (vinegar marinated), but the texture was just too strange for us. It made a "glick" "glick" sound when you chewed on it . . . kinda creepy.

Anthony Bourdain said Pork Sisiq will be the next big Filapino dish to hit the U.S. He said they serve it in the bars of Manila with rice and a soft boil egg over it; it's a classic. I've had Silit (pig's ear), it does have a hard chewy texture, serve with vinegar. Gota try the dessert you had. Salamat Po.
Do you know... Anthony Bourdain JUST stated that that dish (sisig) WILL be THE dish of 2017/2018 !!!
mmmm. dessert looks ono!
i heard that Max's is famous for their crispy skin chicken, but then i also heard mixed reviews so i never tried. thanks for the heads up about the pork dish. i won't try.
oooooh I think i wanna taste the Sisig!! ha!
Totally, Anon!
Whaaaaat, Chet? Really?
Hey, Dd . . . Chet just said that . . . LOL!!
Aunty, maybe next time we'll try the chicken . . . AND the dessert again.
"Glick" "Glick", Les.
ooh I gotta try pork cheeks now to see if it similar to the ears...
I'm curious now, Kat . . . but probably won't try ears either . . .
I believe there are pigs ears in that sisig. I can see them. I haven't tried a good sisig. I went to this one place in the PI that had good reviews but it wasn't good in my opinion. I'd like to know Bourdain's recommendation for sisig. I love buko pandan!
Susan, that dessert was sooooo good!! I'd like to know Bourdain's recommendation too!
Uuuummmm... I'd just skip the meal and go straight to the dessert. That looks amazing!
