About Tan

Tan has had a passion for cooking since she was very young.

Tan Blondin grew up in a remote Thai village where electricity only arrived when she was twelve. Life was simple yet demanding: families grew their own herbs, foraged for food, raised chickens, and cooked over charcoal fires. By the age of eight, Tan was helping her parents with everything from fishing to crushing herbs with a pestle and mortar. Though she once resisted the kitchen, those early lessons taught her resilience, patience, and the value of food made from scratch.

In 2012, Tan founded ATAN AHAN Authentic Southeast Asian Food, where she serves dishes inspired by her heritage and her deep respect for food as a connector of people and cultures. As owner and director, she has built a reputation for authenticity, fairness, and joyful hospitality.

Next spring, Tan will expand her vision with a new seasonal café in St. Peter Port, Guernsey, offering guests another dining experience that blends Southeast Asian flavors with community spirit. Her journey from a childhood of self-sufficiency to leading hospitality ventures in the Channel Islands reflects her passion for creating spaces where people feel at home, nourished by both food and connection.
