Max's ... Jufran no more???

We had a late dinner at Max's the other night and we were surpised to be served this bottle of ketchup! For decades, I have enjoyed my Max's fried chicken slathered with the tangy sweet Jufran ketchup. They blended perfectly.

Has Max's ditched Jufran ketchup? Or is it the other way around? We didn't ask anymore. We just ate. It was the same old fried chicken goodness we have always loved anyway.

  1. It's hard to imagine Max's fried chicken without Jufran (even if I'm not much of a ketchup user). Does their own brand taste like Jufran though?

  2. nina, a bit more tangy than jufran. my husband thinks so too. we prefer Jufran to the Max's brand. ngek, tapos jufran din pala ang laman no! and that everything is just psychological. hahaha.. but really, it did kinda taste a bit more sour and less sweet. :-(

  3. First there was Mafran and then Jufran, and now we have Max's Banana ketchup? I agree with both you and your hubby, Max's fried chicken goes very well with Mafran or Jufran. My kids favorite fried chicken is Max's. If not for the distance from our house, we'd be having most of our time eating out at Max's. Grilled or deep fried galunggong also goes well with banana ketchup but best with the Ilonggo sinamak! Banana Ketchup...tunay na Pinoy!! lest I forget, Max's fried chicken and atchara!!!

  9. Wow that is sad news indeed. You know what though? My favorite with Max's was the Mafran ketchup. The best talaga for me. May Mafran pa ba? Nagutom ako bigla for fried chicken and ketchup. =)
