We know Max's for its great tasting chicken and I couldn't agree more. After recently visiting one of its branches for brunch, I stopped by the restaurant entrance and got inspired to bring home snacks for the household members. By snacks, I mean baked goodies. Yes, Max's is no longer just servings full meals. They have expanded from tossing in those caramel bars in their value meals. These days, one can also buy puff cake (ensaimada in Spanish), polvoron, and other pastry products at Max's Corner Bakery. There are also various cake flavors that remind me of how Goldilocks solidified its presence in the bakery landscape in the late '80s.

For a taste test, I grabbed a 9-piece set of meringue, a cheese bun, and a box of caramel bars. I may just have to return next time for the brazo de mercedes. It looks richer tasting than Goldilocks and Red Ribbon's versions.

I don't really like meringues, but the caramel bars and the cheese rolls at Max's are always good.

I heart the caramel bar from Max's. I can finish 1 box in one sitting. =)

DomJullian: I first saw it in some of their branches as early as July, but only as a stall. Soon, though, it was transformed to carry the brand.

Midge: I absolutely adore the caramel bars.

Witsandnuts: You must be kidding me. One whole box?! Really? LOL!

Those caramel bars tastes like that of Pasalubong's (Bakery from Pulilan, Bulacan).

I have only availed of their chocolate cake. Probably I would also try their brazo de mercedes next time :D

meringue sometimes can be irritatingly sweet. or perhaps, it's just me.
but max's caramel bars are also a family favorite, especially to our son, gabby =)

@ Redlan: Yes, it's a new section of the resto.

@ the geek: well, you can always do the dance version LOL!

@ Puzzle: Pasalubong's? My, that's interesting. Who had theirs first -- Max's or Pasalubong's?

@ DocGelo: funny way of putting it -- irritatingly sweet ha-ha!

@ Dhemz: i honestly prefer them to be just white, but I guess the coloring is for the kids.

@ u8mypinkcookies: I have one every day since buying that set.
