Although best known for its incredible homestyle fried chicken, the Filipino establishment Max’s is also known for the quality of some of its other amazing viands and sides—one of them being its sizzling tofu. Made creamy with mayonnaise, with a toothsome combination of oyster sauce, minced garlic, sugar and sliced chilies to flavor the sauce of firm, golden Chinese tofu, this dish is delicious with a cupful of hot rice and is made even better by the topping of crunchy green onions.
