Max’s Restaurant 70th Year Celebration

Do you know that Max’s Restaurant has been serving sarap to the bones fried chicken for 70 years now? My oldest memory of Max’s restaurant is 25+ years ago. Madalas kame sa Baclaran branch nila eh and it’s always something that I look forward to kapag naluluwas kame sa Pasay (I grew up in the province fyi). Akalain mong mas matanda pa pala doon ang Max’s Restaurant!

Ang nakakatuwa, even now that Max’s Restaurants is everywhere, my kids had the same excitement as I had with a mere mention of Max’s chicken. It’s really one of our favorite restaurants.

In celebration of its 70th year anniversary, Max’s Restaurant brought its family, friends, and loyal customers back to the place where it all began, the original branch at Scout Tuazon.

There was an outdoor display at the Ruby Hall’s courtyard featuring historic photos of the five original founders, black and white photos of the original branch when it had just opened, and even a photo of the old Greenbelt branch in Makati. As guests admired the displays and exchange happy Max’s stories, they were being serenaded by a quartet playing songs that conjured some of their fondest memories.

Syempre hindi pahuhuli ang #KumareBloggers in celebrating Max’s 70th Year Anniversary. Alam nyo naman na ang favorite ninyong mga kumare eh Max’s din ang favorite na restaurant. I really wish nakasama ako sa marehan portion na ito to enjoy endless trip down memory lane kwentos with Kumares and enjoy the surprises Max’s offered to their guest…

Kase naman, as guests entered Ruby Hall, they were welcomed by a creen showing Max’s Restaurant’s heartwarming television commercials, and by a mini museum hosting various memorabilia through the years. Vintage uniforms, yellowing employee Ids, and even antique menus from previous decades proudly showcased Max’s Restaurant’s apparent staying power in the food industry, having not only survived, but grown through numerous years of changes.

President and CEO of Max’s Group Inc. Mr. Robert F. Trota led the final toast in thanking the guests for being a part of the celebration, sincerely expressing to each of them that “we would not be here without you,” just as he did during his surprise visit to one of the branches. The evening was a genuine and heartwarming expression of gratitude from Max’s Restaurant to all of those who were part of building “The House That Fried Chicken Built” with them. The celebration was truly a testament of the tradition of host-guest hospitality and generosity that the founders started 70 years ago.

Mercury Drug Suki Notebook 2016

This is one notebook you shouldn’t miss this year! The Mercury Suki notebook 2016. It’s very simple and the cover is like the Starbucks 2015 planner.. feel ko ung mga ganung cover, parang felt paper lang.

You can get the Suki Notebook for 30 suki points. That’s 6000 Pesos worth of medicine since every 200 pesos is equal to 1 suki points. You can also get it for 200 Pesos.

The Suki notebook comes in 3 colors (gray, sandstone and scarlet). The notebook also comes in 3 packaging:

Suki notebook only for 30 suki points
Suki notebook + 2 Mercury Drug coin purse + 1 Mercury Drug ballpen for 35 suki points
Suki notebook and Enrich magazine (please check Mercury Drug for this one)

Perooo 30 points is not that easy to earn di ba! Yung binili kong gamot kahapon, naka 10 points lang ako! Mukhang marami- rami pang vitamins ang kailangan namin inumin to have a suki notebook!

Mabuti na lang, I was informed na meron pa lang Suki Extra Points promo. Sukis can earn up to 100 points for just purchasing one product. 100 Points is equal to 20,000 Pesos di ba?!?

This month, one of the participating products is Vicks Vaporub. For every purchase of Vicks (any size), suki earns 10 points. The smallest Vicks is only 25 Pesos. Imagine, I was able to get a suki notebook for only 75 Pesos! Sobrang saya ko talaga! 75 Pesos for a quality notebook plus 3 pcs Vicks Vaporub! Eh di ba, I use Vicks talaga.

If I were you, kukuha ako ng Suki notebooks in all colors!
