Celebrating a century of tradition with King Sue Ham
IF you are only starting to plan your Noche Buena menu now – only a few weeks before Christmas – you probably need a good head start at this point.
Everyone knows that the Christmas ham – the right one, baked to perfection and glazed for that mouth-watering burnished sheen – is the real star of any family feast.
More to the point, for foodies who pay close attention, they notice one particular name that has been present in every Noche Buena spread, year after year, for the last century almost: King Sue Ham.
As menus evolved and palates kept up with culinary trends, King Sue Ham’s age-old tradition of meticulously preparing its meat to juicy perfection following its signature curing process perfected through decades, remained a staple on Filipino tables.
Cooked bone-in, the premium quality Chinese Ham is topped with a delicate sugar glaze that draws out the juiciness of the smoked premium quality pork leg, perfectly completing the savory saltiness of its tender meat.
Good ham is comprised of three flavor blocks – sweet, spicy and salty. Discerning palates get it all with King Sue Ham’s Piña Ham. A favorite for even the pickiest Pinoy palates.
Even the more modern iterations of this centuries-old Christmas staple stay true to the quality and traditions that made it the go-to ham for many. Sweet ham, like the name suggests, features a sweeter flavor profile that Filipinos love.
Hawaiian Ham is an excellent take on the confluence of cultural flavors in a single dish.
For those who prefer a meatier flavor profile, a Pear-shaped ham is made from top-grade meat to create a tender and juicy slab of ham.
And as the brand celebrates 92 years of tradition and heritage, they want everyone to be part of this milestone.
If you shop between November 15 and 30 via GrabMart or Facebook Shop, King Sue Ham is throwing in 250g packs of Spiced Ham with every purchase of its 500g Hungarian Sausage.
Beginning November 25, you get two 250g packs of Pork Tocino or Sisig for the price of one.
