The only reason we had lunch at this spot was a table could only be had after a 40 minute wait on the curb. Feet almost never lie, especially when what drives those feet is hunger and a sharp, discerning taste. When it comes to this variety of noodles, I've spent years living in Asia and Max's brought be back to one of my favorite hawker centers. They make the noodles right in front of you.

The falafel sandwich was served with hummus, harissa, and veggies. One was quite filling. I also tried the shawarma salad plate. I didn't like that turkey was the only option for meat here (1 star off), but liked all the other things (hummus, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh, red cabbage, sauerkraut, mango curry sauce, pickles, olives, etc.) that composed the plate. The plate was filled to the max. Note: Cash only.
