Max's offers party packages
The secret to Max’s gastronomic delight — the famous “sarap to the bones” fried chicken — has long been a mystery. Max’s keeps the mystery alive by teaming up with Blue Cow Co., Inc. for Max’s Private Iris party packages.
Choose from three party packages that kids will surely love: the Chickie Boy’s Bash (spaghetti and regular hotdog, juice and dessert), Kiddie Classic (one piece Max’s chicken, served with spaghetti, juice and dessert); and Chickie Boy’s Choice (1/4 Max’s spring chicken and spaghetti served with regular hotdog, juice and dessert).
“The theme boasts of new and more exciting features consistent with the excitement and thrilling discoveries made in each Private Iris story. The theme may be new but the centerpiece is still the same — Max’s delicious fried chicken,” says Genaline G. Austero, Max’s assistant marketing manager for functions and events.
