Favourite Filipino Fried Chicken Feast and a 25lb Cheese Halo Halo! at Max's Restaurant
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- I had the good fortune to work in the Philippines many years ago and I fondly remember the great people there and also the great food. My first meal was some comforting fried chicken at a popular spot called Jollibee and as luck would have it, there were 3 Jollibee locations opening up here in Vancouver. But there's a catch, they've announced this for the last two years so I'm not holding my breath.
As luck would have it, another iconic Filipino restaurant is also located in Vancouver called Max's. Even better yet, they have their original style for crispy fried chicken that is second to none, and they have traditional Filipino favourites such as lumpia, Kare Kare, and a massive 25lb Halo Halo...
Thank. you for joining me on the food feast and wishing you good health and good eats to you all!

Hey Tim, just wanted to let you know, I look forward to your videos on a weekly basis!! You are my favourite food vlogger and your energy and kindness is just contagious. Thank you for being you!!!
Love from South Sudan, Africa :)
Warmest greetings to you from vancouver, Ty. Just wanted to say thank you so much for your very kind comment and really humble to get to share these places with everyone here 🙂
Just seeing how Tim handles the halo halo and how he divides the food tells me Tim is an intelligent guy. So satisfying to see a smart food vlogger
Max’s was started in the 1940s by a Stanford grad that went back home to the Philippines. He invited some US soldiers to his home for dinner and they liked it so much he opened a restaurant.
Really loving the history of this place! Thank you for sharing Jason! Kinda makes it even more special 🙂
Everything looked incredible. Yumm……
I think I’m going to check out our local Jollybee’s again. Worth another try. I’m also glad to hear that you doggy bagged the extra food. There’s no need to stuff it all down. What you showed us of all the bites are more than enough. We want you healthy to share more videos for a long time. 💕
oh, the food actually fed both families really well :-)
Great video Tim. You make your viewers seem as though we are all “friends” the way you include everyone! Thank you for that!
Delicious Eats Tim ! Thank you for sharing ! Nice to know Canadians love Filipino Foods ! We Love Max's here in San Diego ,California !

It's nice to see you Tim.Jollibee is really really good #1 in my country.I hope you like it.Enjoy.Miss you so much👍
I'm all in to this food...it looks delicious
The cheese is interesting
I do like cheddar cheese with apple pie so it could be tasty
The cheese certainly took some getting used to 😉
It all looks delicious. Thanks and take care.
Thank you Karen 🙂
Recently discovered your videos. Love your work. You are so down to earth. Nothing pretentious. Keep up the good work
Thank you so much for your kind comment Stan! Really like your username...big fan of Marvel 😉
So many things looked tasty! And, that Halo Halo is the biggest we've seen! lol Thanks for sharing another great meal, Tim.
Thanks Bill and Lisa! We sure could have used you both there...
I am subscribed to both of your channels and was amazed when I saw Bill and Lisa's comment to Tim. I think all of you are doing a really good job.
Nice that you can have Philippine cuisine in Vancouver. Have wonderful experiences we will wait to see all.
Thank you zzba bazz🙂. Very comforting and good food 🙂
Tim, I really enjoy your gracious, kind, and polite mannerism. I like listening and watching your videos, Melaney from SoCal.
Warmest greetings from Vancouver! Thank you so much for your kind comment 🙂
Great video...made me so hungry!!!
I could certainly go for another bowl of noodles 🙂...they didn't look like much but was definitely the favorite 😋
Max's Restaurant in Vancouver, Canada fantastic place to dine in all Filipino dishes served seem so very delicious sisig pancit canton fried chicken bulalo lechon kawali lumpia kare-kare appetizers garlic fried rice etc so mouth-watering very tasty too EJ really enjoyed the meal finally luv the monstruos Halo-Halo so cooly yummy just looking to all the dishes made us hungry stay safe Tim cheers
That pancit Canton was probably the favorite! All the other third dishes were very good, but those noodles were a pleasant surprise!
Wow Tim, I missed all those yummy food, can’t wait to visit Max’s Restaurant. Thanks for this beautiful vlog promoting Filipino cuisine
Evelyn, want to go again?
@@TimLeeLetsGo yes I will ask Phil when is the best time 🥰
Great to see you again. I admire watching your video.
Thank you so much for reaching out Tresca
Another yummy video! My friend and I go to Jollibee every chance we get…we love their fried chicken. Have a Happy, Healthy, & Prosperous Chinese New Year, Tim!
Hi Sally, a very happy CNY to you and yours.
OMG sooo much food.Sensory overload! Am sooo hungry now! You are the sweetest guy, Tim- as sweet as that dessert you had! Always enjoy your videos and seeing what you order though I do not eat beef, pork,lamb, etc.anymore.A little chicken and seafood and mostly veggie now.Plenty of good choices for me at all Asian restaurants! Live in LA area so I am spoiled.
Hey Deborah, it might be fun to seek out a plant-based restaurant here.. it'll be a bit of a challenge but a fun one. Really missing LA and hope you're keeping well over there
@@TimLeeLetsGoThanks Tim! I would love to see some Vancouver vegan Chinese/Asian places! So easy for Chinese kitchen of all regions to do vegan because their use of veg.Hold the pig and chicken feet PLEASE! Next time ur planning to come to LA let me know.You have covered Chinese places here but you need to hit San Gabriel Valley for the biggest and best selection.We have EVERY kind of Asian restaurant here in SoCal (largest # of Vietnamese outside of Vietnam in Westminster Orange County)and lots and lots of readily fresh Asian markets ( including Indian) selling authentic ingredients and veggies.Of course, the very best Mexican food from every region as well plus Central American,Persian, Armenian, Peruvian, Indian, and more.Truly a melting pot! We are still in mandatory mask/proof of vaccination mode due to Omnicron so I would hold off coming for awhile.
Hi Tim. Everything looks so delicious. My favorite got to be Kare Kare. I hope you will do a Vietnamese feast in the near future.
Oh, I'm really hoping to find a great Vietnamese restaurant also.😋😋😋
Hi Tim All the Filipino food was delicious 😋 and the huge Halo halo was Amazing. Happy Chinese New year to you
Great and nice to watch you guys

Warmest greetings from Vancouver Canada 🙂. I think we over ordered a bit but that was quite enjoyable 😋...all the best to you!
Thank you for visiting our
Filipino restaurant
Hey Tim ! watching home alone, all good amplified even louder, sound sounds great.
Amazing meal to share
I think that's a good part, definitely need to share
Happy New Year!!!
Max's restaurant is still a go to eat place for Filipinos. But We were in Las Vegas last year and that place is not the same anymore. We ordered almost the same as what you had and more except their big halo halo(other Filipino delis got better). My bro. In law complained about their chicken because it's not fully cooked, they took it back to their kitchen and the pork bbq was really tough.
Anyways, thanks for your video and can't wait for your Jollibee experience.
Ohhh... I can't imagine an under done chicken. Nice to hear that they have one in Vegas though and hopefully they get better
Hi Tim thanks for vlogging Filipino Food and restaurant. I hope one day we can vlog together because I'm a vlogger too.
😏 so much good food ...so fun to see you enjoy it all ...ty again for taking us along 😁❤
Thank you Pat, it was quite enjoyable and very comforting🙂
Hi Tim… great video love the food am hungry 😋 now lol 👍😁
Mini Lumpia’s looked so appetising and so did the fried chicken. Biggest halo halo I’ve ever seen.
It was so nice to get the fried chicken fresh...very tasty 😋
We have a Max's here in Hawaii, I need to go try it now. Thanks Tim😊
Hope you get a chance to give it a try, and warmest greetings to you from Vancouver! I would suggest skipping the cheese on the Halo Halo 😉
Wow all that yummy 😋 food I think I got full watching all this food lol. I normally don't think of going to Filipino restaurants. I'm going to watch this again tomorrow take notes so I have an idea what to order and I'm pretty sure there is some restaurants in Winnipeg that serve Filipino food. I normally have Chinese or Japanese time to add Filipino food for new year! Apparently we have same restaurant on St James Street in Winnipeg. Oh And God Bless
If you do go, get those noodles.. I think they're called pancit Canton... It didn't look like much but they turned out to be our favorite!
That massive halo halo! Insane.
That was a very enjoyable dessert... Even with the cheese.. though it took a lot of getting used to 😉
Bulalo is best wen eating wid rice n sauce(fish sauce & calamansi & Thai chili)...
Happy to see Filipino food on this channel! Enjoy:)
Hi Myra, thank you for reaching out.. really comforting food indeed 🙂
Hi Tim awesome video thanks.
Thank you so much Dean🙂
Thank you so much, my friend 😘🤗💙
I'm glad to see you posting a video on this popular Filipino Resto in our country ...oh wow, that's a whole lotsa food there, Happy Chinese Lunar Year 2022 to you from Antipilo City, Philippines Tim!!!
Hi Rebecca and warmest greetings to you from Vancouver! The food was so tasty and comforting. I recall going to the SM mall in the Philippines and really enjoyed it.
Incredible dining experience. All that amazing food is wonderful to see, brings back memories. Thank you Tim!! ❤️
Thank you again mcWalker... It was quite comforting and really tasty, made better with a good friend 🙂
¡¡¡ GUUAUU !!! No se que plato elijeria, se ven todos Exquisitos.Gracias por compartir, esas delicias. De Argentina 🇦🇷👍🏻✌🏼👏🏻👏🏻🇺🇸
Get the noodles Ruth...they may not look like much, but that was the favorite 😋
oh wow Tim..I can't believe it's been 4 years already !! now that's a feast 😍I could definitely use a plate of that fried chicken w/ some shrimp paste right now 🤤I don't know about that cheese w/ the halo halo though 😬
Hi David! You are so right with your intuition about the cheese on the Halo Halo. A bit unexpected and took some getting used to 🙂
So much food!!!
Max's is #1 in my country too! I really really miss that Chicken.Enjoy
Both maxes and Jollibee are quite the favorites 😋
Looks yummy and delicious 😋😋😋
Thank you 👍👍👍
It was a nice meal and made even better with a good friend
Gung Hay Fot Choy...Sun Tai Geen Hong!!! Wishing you a prosperous safe healthy happy blessed year 🤗...the food looked amazing, glad you both enjoyed yourselves 😘🤗💙
Thank you so much Jade and a very happy lunar New Year to you and yours also! Wishing you great health and a great New Year 😃
I always eat at Max restos locally here in Sm malls, my all time fave are Lumpiang Shanghai, Max Chicken, Lumpiang ubod, Kare kare , Sinigang bangus belly, tokwat baboy, Pancit Canton and Buco pandan.....yummy 😍, lots of good memories with family and friends tru the years ......
Great video Tim. I like to cut up spring rolls when they're hot inside to release the hot steam. Helps a lot.
That's a good idea Dave 🙂. These were many spring rolls so I didn't think they would get that hot 😆
@@TimLeeLetsGoit's not fun burning your mouth on them
Phenomenal food Tim Lee. E would love to eat these foods. With pleasure 🥰🙌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you Glenda! It was quite a tasty meal and very comforting, made better with a good friend 🙂
Your feast is unbelievable..yummiest
Helping me w my heart healthy plants based diet ! Haha 😄
U pick the best places. Cheers
Hi Shelly, good on you on your diet! It might be fun to seek out some great plant-based eateries here... It might be a challenge, but I suspect there will be a tasty one.
We have 3 Jolibee restaurants in Edmonton. I've never eaten there. I'll have to try it. The food you ate at Max's looks so good. Cheese on a dessert? Very interesting. Cheers Tim, and God Bless! ✌️🇨🇦
Hi Dwayne, hopefully our fried chicken restaurants will open up soon here. It's interesting, the cheese was quite unique, but not really to my taste.... Not bad, just not expected 😉
Hi tim the food looked scrumptious. You dine at great places. The desert looked very interesting I'm still looking forward to traveling to Vancouver to visit some of the restaurants that you recommended. Thank you for the great video. Stay safe my friend. 😁😁
Thanks again Calvin! Hope you get a chance to visit soon. It was quite a nice experience....but the cheese on the dessert took a bit of getting used to😉.
Nice to see you eating using both hands. Where's your coke shirt? Another video nicely done.
ate along with you. had a good time- like I was there. Love and best wishes, Bonnie
That was a very nice meal.. but a very expensive one... We didn't realize about the parking restrictions there, and our cars were almost towed... But we caught it in time.. and just had to pay the fine 🤦🏻♂️😉
I would say, the bill was between $250-$280 including tip ?
You're pretty close ... The giant Halo Halo was pricey!
Wow !!!
Keep making videos Tim.
God bless you !!!
Thanks Tim for this great recommendation as have never to Max’s but found out that there is one in Concord, just north of Toronto. The Halo Halo looked amazing as I wish Jollibee in Canada had them like they do in the States.
Thanks Jen and Jonmichael. I hope you get a chance to try, but I would highly suggest skipping the cheese on the halo halo😉
@@TimLeeLetsGo LOL good point Tim! 🙂 Wishing you a very happy Lunar New Year. Hope that you’re spending time with loved ones and having something delicious.
Oh my goodness! You got all the staples Tim! Everything looks so amazing! Happy Lunar New Year!
I hope I chose well ...it was actually with the help of EJ
@@TimLeeLetsGo it was a feast! I will have to definitely go again! Childhood davs
Favs
Omg... I must go!
I hope you get a chance to try 🙂
Tim, I wish we could have a video everyday, but I know that would wear you out. I'm so happy when I see one of your videos pop up. I would like to try all of the dishes.
Take care and happy eating! God Bless
Thank you so much for your kind comment Martha! I suspect I would get significantly more spherical with a daily video 😆
Love halo halo!
You got to try it with cheese! 🙂
I was saying in your last video I want to see what type of awesome gourmet food you can come up with for Valentine's Day, haha!!!! Well, it's too early for Valentine's Day since tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve I don't know when you had this nice Filipino feast. But, it's odd that you are wearing a short sleeves t-shirt in January in Vancouver. It must be cold!!! You had a great Filipino feast with a unique 25 lbs. Cheese Halo Halo dessert. You will probably come up with another wonderful feast for Valentine's Day with your significant other! Oh, I almost forgot that you were wearing a coat while you were walking to the restaurant. And you mentioned that it's cold. We don't have Filipino restaurants in small towns in the East Coast.
Looks so good I have to find the Philippino restaurant near me when I get our of the nursing Home for my therapy stay. Glad u both eat more carbs than carbs.
Hope you're able to find a nice place around! Yeah, we had to get the rice with the oxtail stew otherwise we would have been in trouble with the comments😉
Ej grabe ka kung saan saan nlng kita nakikita😂😂😂 ikaw na talaga
Oh wow tim looks so good great video sweetie
Hi Marisa, thanks! Did you call me sweetie? 😍
Now I want Jollibee's. Looks good guys!
Yeah, we'll have to wait for our Jollibees to open here 🙂. I hope you enjoy some wonderful chicken 😋
Your shellfish shack and Vancouver night market festival video from 5 months ago just popped up. You had a few towers of wonderful seafood at the shellfish shack with Isabella, Christina, James and another guy. Then you guys went to the night market which looked like a lot of fun. Vancouver is like Hong Kong with night markets. I know you have done tons of food videos. This shellfish shack and night market is worth mentioning as you went with four friends eating together which is more fun. Please do a fun food feast with a few girls for Valentine's Day, and no other guys!! Just you and a few girls will definitely be lots of fun!! Well, it's always good and fun to do different things especially for Valentine's Day!! Hopefully, your significant other wouldn't mind having a few girls together with her and you!!
Got me so HUNGRY!!!😆
I was just watching your old Max's video. I walk by all the time but never went in.
I hope you get a chance to give it a try. Pretty nice and lots of comfort food 🙂
Thank you very much and you're quite welcome...today's celebration is more special to me...it's my bday...have a great new year to you, mom and uncle Danny 😘🤗💙 Very rare it falls on my bday 😋😊
A very happy birthday and a very happy new year Jade 🎂🎂🎂🥳🥳🥳
Seems like you need to hit Kulinarya Filipino Eatery next, Tim! I googled and found they have the kamayan feast there and they gave a great rating!
That would be a tasty treat! 😋 I got to try the kamayan feast and really enjoyed it 😋
Tim, you need a collab with the one and only BILL AND LISA!! you would make the best videos with them !
Great new video Tim! E.J Is cool as a new pair of shades you should take him along more often for videos. He also makes great comments and There is a great vibe between you 2.
EJ is fantastic... And very fun to eat with... Was hoping his appetite was a little bit bigger, but unfortunately we both tapped out with the halo halo😉
Food look so Delicious 😋. Very overwhelming 😋. L.o.l and Thank you share Food Idea. If you tube Family plan visit same restaurant.
I hope you get a chance to give it a try Anita... Very nice and overwhelming in the best way possible
@@TimLeeLetsGo Thank you. Well I need to renew my passport. I don't know I want travel. Pandemic. Maybe one day plan go visit Canada. I live U.S.A.

Nice! I thought I also saw a Max's in Maui a few years ago...was tempted to go back then
I love your videos Tim Lee
Thank you so much 🙂
Tim is always great
Always grateful to get to eat with good friends 🙂
That belly pork looked fantastic, your a lucky lad love your videos mate
Really grateful to get to enjoy the amazing food, and even more grateful to get to eat with a good friend.

Kung Hei Fat Choi, hey Tim greetings from the Maritimes, hope I spelt that right... Worked in Honk Kong in the '60s miss the food, hopefully you can come east some time and suus out some hotspots for us locals...
Warmest greetings to you from the West coast Jack! Thank you for the greeting and likewise to you too. My good friend just visited her family in pei.. heard lots of great things and can't wait to head out east 😃

It was a fun outing
Ox tail is so delicious.
Totally agree Marie! I can't believe how expensive ox tail has gotten but definitely my favorite as well 🙂
Next time you're in Montreal try eating at the restaurant called Joe beef
Ohh, that was definitely a place we wanted to visit, but reservations were so hard to get...next time for sure and thank you for the suggestion 😃
Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and I want to says that I was right that No Other UA-camrs was Able to do a video on a super awesome banquet style Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Chinese UA-camrs didn't even mentioned Chinese New Year as they continued to do their everyday regular videos. That being said, however, Bill & Lisa who is Japanese uploaded a video yesterday saying Chinese New Year celebrating in Las Vegas. Bill said he wanted some good dim sum to kick off the Chinese New Year at the Orchids Garden. Dim Sum is nice but it's Not the traditional Chinese New Year food, LOL!!!! They had hotpot at the Chubby Cattle for dinner, but that is also Not traditional Chinese New Year food, haha!!!! Indeed, you won the Oscar for best performance in the super awesome Chinese New Year's Eve banquet dinner with family and friends!! Oh, and it's nice to hear that you had worked in the Philippines. It's wonderful to be able to live and work in another country.
I saw Bill and Lisa's video in vegas! It looked really nice indeed... Not very traditional, but tasting nonetheless. 😋
Nice sir tim 😘
Thank you so much Marilen
It's me again, and I normally don't even think about Chinese New Year!!!! It's my mother who used to go crazy over Chinese New Year!!!! She is in a better place now, and doing it in heaven. The Fung Bros who are just uploaded a New Cheap Eats In Chinatown 2022 (New York) Part 13 video 2 hours ago totally ignored Chinese New Year!!! What is really hilarious is people are writing comments wishing them a Happy New Year!!!!! These USA Chinese UA-camrs are all a bad ass to ignore their New Year!!!! Raina Huang uploaded The Spiciest Ramen Noodles In Los Angeles - Killer Noodle San Gabriel this morning. She had done many spicy ramen noodles challenges already. She said this ramen today combines different things such as peppercorn. She is another bad ass!!!! I have to admit that I'm a bad ass too cuz I don't says those Chinese New Year greetings, haha!!! You are not a bad ass so I just thought I should tell you that you are a good Chinese person. I was going to says don't work too hard. But, your work is eating good food so work harder!!
Hi Min, wishing you a very happy CNY 🙂. It's interesting because I was looking to see if there were any festivities here in Vancouver for the lunar new year. There doesn't seem to be too much this year, but understandably so. Even then, I guess the best celebration is a celebration where one gets to eat together. Thank you again and wishing you all the best 😃
@@TimLeeLetsGo It was reported by Channel 5 Fox News that New York City will have the regular dragons parade this year, and more festivities on February 12, 2022. Politicians and everybody want things to return to normal as much as possible. You are right that the best celebration is a celebration where one gets to eat together. I hope you and your significant other will have another feast today with your Mom and other relatives.
Ate at Max's long time ago. Had the whole fried chicken. Breast meat overcooked; almost tastes like cardboard. The leg quarters were fine but almost too dry. Why not cook the white and dark meat separate so they get cooked properly.
Yum..❤👍👍👍
