HAVE you decided which eating habits and specific food help you feel happy or excited? Did you notice that your mood changes based on the food you eat?
Max’s recently revealed the existing connection between Food and the Mood during a campaign-event tagged as Real Food For Every Mood With Max’s Rice Bowls.
“Just like how your choice of music can set your day on the right track, Max’s Restaurant also lets you groove to the tune of your appetite with its wide selection of Rice Bowls that are sure to satisfy your cravings for delicious and filling Filipino food starting at P149,” said Arianne Ross Pombo, trade marketing manager for VisMin.
During the press conference, bloggers and media personalities were presented with Max’s newest offerings, the Seafood Kare-Kare Rice Bowl, made with a combination of shrimp, squid, and fish slowly cooked in creamy peanut sauce; Max’s Spicy Tofu headlined by deep-fried tofu cubes tossed in a special spicy mayo base and served with a side of fried egg; the Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet Rice Bowl made with breaded cream dory doused in a combination of sweet and tangy sauce; and the Chopsuey Rice Bowl which features a symphony of sautéed fresh vegetables, pork, shrimp, and chicken liver and gizzard.
Those looking to reward themselves can order a rice bowl that will make them feel like a winner in every bite like the Sizzling Chicken made with coarsely chopped fried chicken and chicken liver, spiced up with white onion, celery, and chili; the Beef Caldereta with fork-tender beef chunks in thick sauce topped with fried potatoes and carrots; and the Adobo Ribs which offers a unique twist on the classic taste of the well-loved adobo.
Max’s Restaurant also pays tribute to Pinoy food loved by many for generations with the Crispy Pata, deep fried pig knuckles served with banana slices and atchara, and the Kare-Kare Rice Bowl made the traditional way by slow-braising ox tripe and beef shanks in thick peanut sauce and vegetables.
There is also the Bangus Belly Paksiw Rice Bowl cooked using premium milkfish belly fillet and the Fish Fillet in Black Bean Sauce with lightly breaded cream dory fillet slathered with red bell pepper strips, spring onions, ginger strips, and black bean sauce.
“We understand our customers when they say that their mood affects the food they want to eat,” said Max’s Restaurant chief operating officer Paolo Serrano. “That’s why we want to make sure that whatever mood they are in, they can always come to Max’s Restaurant and enjoy a bowl of rice topped with their all-time Pinoy favorites.
My runaway favorite is the creamy and flavorful Seafood Kare Kare, and Max’s Spicy Tofu while most people in my row didn’t appreciate it the way I did but for some reasons, it just went well with my taste buds.
So if you are feeling optimistic, bright and cheery, and ready to take on the day, then see yourself walking into Max’s Restaurant, I bet you will just feel better with their unique way of giving the flavors the twist they deserve.
