Chef Jason Han.Located at San Mars Point, just along General Luna Street, is a tiny red-and-white restaurant that seats 25 people. This is named 14 Cafe. This restaurant is the playground of International Celebrity Chef, Han Seung Teak, or Jason Han to fans and food lovers in Korea.
Just like many of his countrymen, Jason Han came here to study English. We are fortunate enough that he ended up here in Iloilo City, thanks to the city’s reputation for having exemplary English tutors. It was not only learning English that made him like Iloilo, but for him it was a respite from his busy life as a university student at the prestigious Korea University in Seoul where he studied Food Engineering. He is a respected celebrity chef for “Tok Tok Evening” of KBS2 Channel, “Deng Jang and Chun Jang” of Food-N Channel, “Science Cook” of YTN Channel, and Wonderful Tonight” of MBC Channel and a young entrepreneur of “Unique Asia Restaurant, “WI-Yeon” and “Rico Restaurant” back home.
