Q: Came today and try this new resto. Iam full pinoy and my standard of pinoy food is simple and basic: if my grandma and mother can cook better, it should not be served on restuarants. We ordered 8 things in the menu; Chicken Sinigang na hipon Lechon kawali Nilaga Chicken sisig Pork sisig Pancit miki bihon Laing In this 8 items only the laing is what my mom and grandma dont cook. Anyways lets start with the good, the chicken. Its one of the best crunchy and flavored chicken we had in restuarants, my mom agreed its good, and I liked it too. Unfortunately thats where the good things stops. The other 6 items (excluding laing which was okay regarding to my family, i have no taste for it.) So for the bland foods are the following; pancit and nilaga. It was so bland i have to use 1 spoon full of condiments to make them taste anything. The nilaga was served cold too. Next the super salty are the following; kawali, pork sisig, chicken sisig, all of this items have strong salty taste, too salty that we were not able to eat them all. Next the last one the hipon na sinigang, they got the "asim" part but they did not catch other flavor than that. This sinigang is missing that unique sinigang flavor. In the end i only was able to enjoy my plate due to the chicken that was really good. When i was over i had a full bowl of the soups (untouched) pancit on the side which i tasted only once, the sisigs were just next to my pancit and the other stuff making my entire plate half full. Oh i would like to add it took the service to come in 35 minutes. I finished the freaking 1 episode of a tv series before they come all together. Which i think is the reason why our soups were cold, if iam not wrong it means that the soups were sitting on the counter but they were waiting for all the foods to be finishes before serving them. In the end Max didnt deliver the filipino food that i expected. Back home they are known for the chicken, i guess they should only stick with that. Their are better less known restaurants for real flavored, well served, authentic filipino cuisine around.

Q: I stay here for work, it is close to our office and I love having a suite so that I can work away from the bed. The rest of the room is great, i like the separate shower from tub. I have only been coming since the remodel, but I love the outdoor area, great for meeting up with coworkers after a long day of meetings. I have always had great customer service. The only change would be to upgrade the soaps and shampoo, this is supposed to be a resort, the basic Marriott brand needs to go. :)

Q: Every time I go to church, I pass by this restaurant. Well, a few weeks ago, I decided to stop fantasizing about the food and go try it for myself...plus, I didn't have the hubby with me to persuade me into buying some faster food (like burgers)... Anyway, I got there and it was lunch time (on a Saturday). I was given a menu, which was only 8 items long. I ordered Yellow Curry with Chicken and a Thai Tea (which I loved). The curry dish was okay, but my palate is probably discriminating b/c I have a friend who is actually Thai. I was happy about scratching that itch, but I was disappointed I didn't see other traditional Thai foods on the menu. Turns out they offer a small selection at lunch time due to lunch-time rushes. You can actually request the dinner menu and order, but they have those 8 items ready to go at all times. 1. Whatever floats your boat, but my rice was dry. 2. Why didn't my waiter offer me my choice of menus (i didn't realize there was another menu until I settled my bill at the counter) 3. Despite my disappointment, the wait staff was great! I'll have to visit this place again, for dinner, so see if I have a more palatable experience. For now, I'm content going to my friend's house for down-home Thai food.
