Sugbuanong Ani 2, a project by the Cebu Provincial Tourism Office that aims to connect small products to big hotels and chefs, giving homage to the people`s organization whose farm produce and fish catch are their main source of livelihood. The event also pays tribute to the ordinary men and women in farms and fishermen at municipal waters.

This year, Golden Prince Hotel & Suites had participated in the program and featured Cebuano Heritage pieces from ancestors, that distinct and succinct flavor that kept the local cuisine alive. The hotel used locally available ingredients and stuck to the district cooking techniques that characterize Cebuano cuisine while giving it a modern twist. Dishes served during the event were all authentic, flavorful and unique. Also highlighted were the local flavors of Tablea and Pintos as well as the well-loved Cebu Lechon.
