All You Want In One Place, at Botejyu...

Okonomiyaki. Takoyaki. Gyoza. Ramen. Tempura. Katsu. And even Wagyu Beef Ribeye Steak. Sure, there are specialty Japanese shops for each of these popular dishes. But wouldn't it be so cool to just come to one place for all these favorites?


Established in Osaka back in 1946, Botejyu began as an okonomiyaki specialty restaurant and has since grown to become a leader in Japanese food culture showcasing the best of Osaka, Aomori, Kyoto, Fukuoka, Oita, Kagawa, Kanagawa, Fukushima, Hokkaido and Tokyo. With well over 60 dishes in its impressive menu, think of it as a tasty and sumptuous one-stop shop for all things Japanese featuring the wide and diverse regional culinary specialties of Japan, all in one place right here at the new One Bonifacio High Street Mall...

Afternoons at Max's...

Maybe it's the place in the old Scout neighborhood that makes it so special. Or the service. And the food. Whatever it is, it all comes together perfectly in one afternoon of familiar and comforting local flavors at Max's... 


Located at Scout Tuason in Quezon City, this branch has probably seen more celebrations than any of their other outlets, and why not, it just has a cozy vibe that will make you feel right at home the moment you enter. Hey, it's Max's Restaurant, the house that fried chicken built after all, an institution that's become part of many Filipino celebrations for generations (for more on Max's, see my previous posts, Every Day To The Max with Max's New Adobo Ribs and Beef Salpicao on their new dishes and After 71 Years And Counting, Still Sarap To The Bones at Max's Restaurant on their all-time favorites and signature dishes from three years ago). But it's not just lunch or dinner that makes Max's everyone's go to place, an afternoon snack or merienda also makes the cut...
