Dining at a Home Away from Home

You know how it feels eating at home, where you're just relax or chill? The food at home just tastes different.

But would you believe me if I said I had the same experience away from home?

Yup, that's right. It was a dining experience I can only describe as "eating at a home away from home".

That was what Max's Restaurant gave me last October 2.

Max's Restaurant held their very first Blogging Event in Davao, inviting Davao Bloggers to their newly designed restaurant at Abreeza Ayala Mall.

[Insert Photo of outside of Max Here]

What we were going to attend was Max's launching of their new group meal bundle, the "Max's 4Sharing".

Max's 4Sharing Meal

For only P899, you get 4 servings of rice and 4 glasses of iced tea. You get Max's sarap-to-the-bones chicken AND one of Max's new beef dishes.

The "Max's Beef Caldereta", shown in the photo above, or the "Max's Adobong Baka sa Gata"!

Does it sound like the perfect meal for small group get-togethers? Of course it does!

Now, let me guide you along the event we experienced by showing you photos and captions!

Like what I said, it was a home dining experience away from home.
