I'm experience with Filipino cuisine is quite limited. I've always summarized Filipino food as a saltier and oilier version of Chinese food but my experience at Max's has changed my mind.
We ordered 4 dishes to share among 3 people (we even had some leftovers). We got Laing which was our veggie dish. It was supposed to be spicy but I thought it was very mild. My friend that couldn't handle any spice didn't try any more of it after one bite. If you're incredibly sensitive to spice, I wouldn't recommend this dish. It's hard to describe this dish because I've never had anything quite like it. With that being said, it wasn't a bad dish but it didn't make it to our any of our favourites list.
We also got pancit. The noodles they use were like Chinese yi mein or e-fu mein. It honestly tasted like a Chinese dish. I liked it and there were several pieces of big shrimps in there. This is a good dish to get if you're in the mood for noodles.
Next, we had the beef karekare. It again, tasted very similar to Chinese food. This was a solid dish and I would order it again.
Next is one of my favourite dishes - fish sisig. It's basically sizzling plate with chopped up meat of your choice. I think I really like this dish because it was the least reminiscent of any Chinese dish. I think this is a must try if you come to this restaurant.
Now, on to my favourite part of the meal...dessert! There's a Yelp check in offer for an ube creme decadence. I really like ube (purple yam) desserts. My friends also got a dessert which was some sort of ice cream with minty jello like toppings. Make sure you do the check in for hte ube creme because it was so delicious and best of it, it's free!
