Ken Chan gives a tour of Café Claus branches
It is Christmas all year round in Café Claus, the Christmas-inspired café owned by Kapuso actor Ken Chan.
According the the actor, he has always wanted to open his own restaurant as he was inspired by his parents.
"Pangarap ko na talagang magkaroon ng isang cafe or restaurant kasi na-inspire ako sa dad ko and sa mom ko. Before, 'yung family ko, mayroon kaming business dati. It's a Chinese restaurant sa may Quezon Avenue," he shared.
He used to visit the restaurant as a child and has fond memories of it.
"Nakikita ko 'yung mga chef, nakikita ko ang daming tao, ang saya-saya ng mga customer. 'Yung mga isda na nasa aquarium, lagi kong nilalaro 'yung mga isda doon. Ang saya-saya lang, para ko siyang naging playground. Doon ako na-inspire. Doon nagsimula akong mangarap na sana balang araw pagtanda ko, sabi ko sa sarili ko, sana magkaroon ako ng ganito," he recalled.
Ken also shared some wonderful news about expanding Café Claus.
"Medyo mabi-busy kami ngayon dahil magkakaroon na kami ng third branch at itatayo namin sa Eastwood City Walk. Medyo doon ako mabi-busy ngayon habang wala pang trabaho, habang wala pang taping and shooting," he shared.
In a new video, Ken gave a tour of the two existing branches of the café.
The first branch is located in Tandang Sora and is a stand alone space, while the second one is located within the Greenhills Promenade.
