Under food:
Max's Restaurant
San Francisco, California
Our Fresno friends had high hopes for Max's Restaurant, a highly regarded fried chicken joint in the Philippines. DJKung recalled dining at a Max's in Manila and remembered that they had excellent chicken. Unfortunately,everybody was let down by their recent experience at the Max's in SF.
First, the service. It was appallingly slooow. Mind you, the Ultimate Fun Club tries not to be superserious with the non-food/fur/fun aspects of things. Max's, however, merits special mention for their truly atrocious service. DJKung found that the wait staff, even after making eye contact with you, tries its best to evade actually providing any service.
Second, most of the dishes they got was pretty bland.
Max's Teasers. Includes fried lumpia (eggrolls), fried calamari and fried pinsec (wontons). Everything was very greasy.
Sizzling pork sisig. Good. It was garlicky, fried, very tasty. 
Lechon kawali. Deep fried pork belly. It is simply impossible to mess up this dish. 
Fried chicken. DJKung thought that this was pre-fried and sat under the warmer lights too long. It was dry and tough. Terrible.
Nilagang bulalo (beef shank soup). Bland bland bland. DJKung had to ask for patis (fish sauce), which took thirty minutes to arrive.
