Organic and Home-Style Cuisine at “Flavors by Tanny”

“When we talk about foods, it usually refers to the flavors”. This is how cooking aficionado Constantine “Stan” Tanchan puts it as he opens his new restaurant “Flavors by Tanny” at the Parkmall in Manduae City, Cebu. A concept made out from the passion of coming up with an affordable upscale family dine-in restaurant which serves organic, home-style and must-eat Asian food menu, he thought offering one must be good, aside from his other running food brand Choobi Choobi (Lingaw Lingaw in Cebuano), which has gained followers already too in the locale.

Menu at Flavors is made up of fresh and organic ingredients fresh from the Tanchan’s family-owned organic farm in Barili, and has gotten inspiration from family recipes to known international dishes. According to Stan, Flavors is a ‘free style’ restaurant in which different all-time international favorite dishes are being whipped up for the dining public.

Stan took up a culinary course in Manila and has close to 10 years of culinary experience. He is now a self-confessed chef entrepreneur.

Flavors is a Tanchan’s family corporation. The spacious place of the restaurant is designed for family gatherings and bonding. It has an 80-seating capacity and also accommodates private functions for a minimum of 40 pax. The restaurant is fully air-conditioned and homey, convenient for families and barkadas to fill their hungry stomachs out during the day or night.
