VANCOUVER – Max’s Restaurant: Cuisine of the Philippines Vancouver celebrates its 2nd Year Anniversary on May 25, 2014.

In the past two years, Max’s Restaurant has truly defined itself as a Pinoy Landmark in Vancouver. It has become a hub for businesses to conduct events and functions for their partners and customers, a venue for politicians and community leaders to voice their campaigns, and a spot for celebrities from the Philippines and other parts of the world to have a Meet & Greet with members of the Filipino media and their fans.

We’ve seen politicians and leaders including BC Premiere Christy Clark, Minister of State for Seniors & Member of the Parliament (MP) Hon. Alice Wong, Minister of Veterans Affairs & MP Hon. Julian Fantino, Minister of International Trade & MP Hon. Ed Fast, Minister of State for Multiculturalism & MP Hon. Tim Uppal, Senator Yonah Martin, and the very first Filipino Canadian appointed by Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Senator Jun Enverga.

Representatives from the Philippine Consulate General in Vancouver and Toronto, Philippine Tourism and Philippine Overseas Labor Office also visited the ‘House that Fried Chicken Built’.

Philippine International Artists have become a regular scene at Max’s; with stars and legends like Janno Gibbs, Aegis, Jose Mari Chan, Parokya ni Edgar, Mocha Girls, Aljur Abrenica, Kris Bernal, Chokoleit, Pokwang, K Brosas and Pooh coming to meet their fans.

“It has been an incredible two years here at Max’s Restaurant. We arrived in Vancouver to serve Authentic Filipino Cuisine that many Filipinos missed from back home in the Philippines and to share with Canadians from all walks of life, race and culture. We did not expect that we would become the centre for these stars and notable personalities. We are thankful for everyone’s support especially that from the Filipino community. This success would not have been possible if it weren’t for our loyal patrons. ” Says Cecile Pratt, Managing Director.

In the next few months, expect no less at Max’s with the arrival of Charice Pempengco, Florante and so much more. To find out how to win Concert Tickets, please visit Max’s at 3546 Kingsway, Vancouver, BC V5R 5L7.

Make sure to join-in on the fun with Max’s LUCKY TILAOK pakulo on Sunday, May 25th! For details, call Tel: (604) 435-3505 or Email: maxs.vancouver@maxschicken.com.
