Miss Philippines Earth Reigning Queens Visit Mabuhay Restop

Wazzup Pilipinas!

I've heard a lot of people and groups calling themselves as our country's advocates in many ways. But for a restaurant, it is quite a few to find one among others that embodies the entrepreneurial spirit and at the same time active when it comes to promoting the many advocacy of our country.

One good example is the Mabuhay Restop Travel Cafe and Museum, a unique kind of restaurant located along Rizal Park in Roxas Boulevard that promotes the Philippine cultural heritage through food, tours, shows, art and other attractions. Last Saturday night, I am lucky to join a dinner with media personalities and four of the Miss Earth winners 2013 to watch one of its hilarious and funny show entitled "Manila Vanilla".

As I step inside the restaurant, I can really say that almost everything I see glorifies the symbol and pride of being a Filipino. The paintings, artworks, products, wines, furniture and even the the interior design of the restaurant all have a touch of our local artisan's craftsmanship. Of course my favorite if not all of us there is having a chance to taste their food. I love their chicken binakol soup made entirely from the buko juice and their halo - halo to beat the hot weather of the night!

Bracing Myself for a Special Surprise from Max's Restaurant

Wazzup Pilipinas!

I wonder what my favorite chicken restaurant is up to? What could be this "biggest meet-up" and "special surprise" happening on May 19, 2014. Well, I can't reveal the locations for now but I'm betting we will be all smiles that day!

Max's Restaurant has been surprising me since last year when I became one among the many blogger friends of  the famous brand. The latest of which was a surprise personal visit at our home from their PR people with a gift-wrapped box filled with treats which included a Max's cap signed by Filipino celebrity leading man Coco Martin. What made it more special was the inclusion of a CD with a video greeting from the actor himself, and of course Max's will never forget to give you another opportunity to dine in any of their numerous restaurants located all over the country.

If you must know, Max's was the very first restaurant I visited during my high school years. It was my first time to treat myself out to some shopping spree after I saved up on my allowance, and part of the treat was a meal at their Greenbelt branch.
