"If the whole world were put into one scale, and my mother in the other, the whole world would kick the beam." -Henry Bickersteth

We've all grown celebrating Mother's Day every second Sunday of May each and every year and we're all accustomed to that. On May 13, Sunday, it will be such a great day to celebrate Mom's day :)) . What do you think Max's Restaurant and Body Shop had come up for all the moms out there?

Bent on ensuring that diners will have an exciting and unforgettable experience on Mother’s Day, Max’s Restaurant has partnered with global cosmetics and beauty brand Body Shop in coming up with a heartwarming surprise for the most special woman in our lives.

Family members who will be celebrating Mother’s Day at Max’s Restaurant with a minimum spend of PhP 1,300 will be receiving a luxurious bottle of Body Shop’s Shower Gel - soap-free, lather-rich and fruit-infused! It’s the perfect gift to pamper MOM on her special day.

That's me with my friend Jenny, Kokoy and Angie during the event

We were gastronomically pampered by Max's Restaurant

“In the Philippines where mothers are respected for being the “light of the household,” people take the time to dine together as a family on Mother’s Day. One of the most nostalgic places to re-unite and celebrate with family has always been Max’s Restaurant. Mothers and family members, regardless of age, lifestyle and cultural background, find comfort in its homey interiors and the passionate service of the staff,” said Edgar Allan Caper, Marketing Director for Max’s Restaurant.

During the press launch of Max's Restaurant and Body Shop partnership event for MOMS, the very amiable and famous host of GMA 7's "Unang Hirit," Ms. Lyn Ching-Pascual was so lively and had given all the right info and details regarding the said event. She's actually a mother of two cutey kids, Gaby and Matty, an avid book-reader herself, who's also into blogging check her personal blog here.

Of course, picture, picture! hihihi :D

We were also asked to post our mom's pics on the board provided with our corresponding answers to the question: "What do you love most about your mom?" Towards the end of the program, the organizers had picked up three "most heartwarming" messages posted on the board. :)) It was really a very enjoyable moment with all my fellow bloggers and media peeps despite the heavy rain that poured over that one special afternoon.

Red roses were offered by Max's Restaurant staff during the event, aww sweet!

Thank you Max's for all the pampering!

Max's Restaurant is like a home next to our home, whether they are in the busy Metro or searching for respite in the provinces, the familiar inscription that reads “the house that fried chicken built” has always spurred a feeling of enthused anticipation for the scrumptious spread of home-cooked dishes and heirloom recipes that have been in the Max’s tradition for more than six decades.

The ohhsssome sumptuous lunch we had :P

Max's "Sarap to the Bones" Fried Chicken with sweet potato side dish, very Pinoy!

"Nakakagutom naman talaga!"

The beckoning smell of piping hot Sinigang, classic Kare-Kare oozing with thick peanut sauce, the crackling sound of Crispy Pata as one’s fork penetrates its perfectly crunchy skin, and the unforgettable experience of Max’s “sarap to the bones” Fried Chicken, the Filipino’s iconic dish - these are just simply difficult to resist. Cap this sumptuous meal with an exciting bottle of Body Shop Shower Gel from Max’s.

Happy Mother's Day to the most wonderful and loving MOM in the universe! No amount of adjectives or any metaphoric phrases could ever describe you. Actually, my love for you couldn't be written or typed in any form, I know that you know how much I dearly love you. Thank you for bringing us to this world and for raising us so well.

BONUS TRIVIA:

Sarap to the bones was put to the history of Max's Restaurant by "Nanay Ruby" which everyone enjoys until now, thanks to her. ;))
