Well, we all know that Max’s restaurant is the “house that fried chicken built”. While we all know that their very own fried chicken is one of a kind, another one of their dishes is making waves in the taste buds of Pinoys: the Sizzling Tofu!
It’s always good to order this alongside the fried chicken. I know most of us already tried this awesome tofu dish. And if you haven’t, I’m telling you it is definitely a must-try!
You know, Max’s is quite pricey, and most of us eat there during special occasions. But that does not mean we don’t get to eat their Sizzling Tofu anytime we want to, right? Good thing there are people out there who tried to reinvent the recipe. And, my oh my, this recipe tastes just like the original!
What are you waiting for, go ahead a cook one now:
