'Tis the season of the fabulous hams, and as we slide nearer into Christmas, one has to ponder: where are the best places to buy Xmas hams?
Traditional Filipinos like their hams home cooked - but for most of us, it's going to be a visit to our favorite ham shop.
Here's where you can get the best and delicious Christmas hams, not in their particular order:
1. Excelente Hams - I practically grew up with them, commuting from our old house in Caloocan City to Echague Street (now Carlos Palanca) in Quiapo, Manila. Theirs is the most popular in Metro Manila and you can always see them on television during the holidays. Price starts from Php 1,040 to Php 1,500 per kilo.
2. The Plaza Hams - This four-generation, family-run ham store never fail to reach the dining tables of most Filipinos. You can get their smoked and crispy hams at the SM Megamall and at their website HERE. Prices start from Php 1,600 to Php 2,500 per kilo.
3. The Majestic Hams - So distinctly Chinese, these sugar-sweet glazed hams are available at Rustan's Makati, Greenhills San Juan, Cherry Foodarama Congressional, Tropical Hut Panay, and Shopwise Supermarkets. You can also order via their Facebook page HERE. Prices start from Php 1,100 to Php 1,650 per kilo.
4. Adelina's Hams - Established in 1955, these legendary Chinese-cured hams are available at 180 Kalentong Street, Mandaluyong City and at their Facebook page HERE. (UPDATE: a quick look at their FB Page says pre-orders are no longer entertained after Dec 18, 2020 and only walk-in clients will be accomodated.) Prices start from Php 1,360 to Php 1,540 per kilo.
5. Purefoods and King Sue brands - For those tight on the budget, the Purefoods and King Sue brands are the most affordable (yet tasty) hams you can get this Christmas. They're unmistakably Chinese and contains real meat, not just extenders. Available on most leading supermarkets and groceries. Prices start from Php 555 to P900 per kilo, and up.
