Missing MX

Whenever I see restaurants in Manila selling roast meat, I can't help but remember one of my favorite restaurants in HKG. It was my go-to place for a good meal, and not a week passes by without me dropping by and grabbing a bite.

That place is MX.

Actually, when I moved to HKG, it was still called Maxim's. Then, a year after I arrived, they rebranded to MX. It's their attempt to make the brand younger and more appealing to yuppies and teens. It's a strategy that succeeded, in my opinion.

My usual order at MX was the Lok Bo Fan, or 6-treasure rice. It was so, so, so good!

Seriously, someone should franchise and open MX in the Philippines. I'd be more than glad to come over every week, just like old times.
