Only in the Philippines…. Christmas celebrations are
longest and extra-special. It’s a part of the Filipino culture and tradition.
Filipinos are known for having close family ties and being super hospitable. Every
celebration is always extra-special for them.
Once the calendar hit the “BER” months, Christmas
spirit can be heard and felt in just every corner. Christmas carols are being played in the
radio, tv commercials and in malls, hotels and restaurants. Christmas lightings
and shows are everywhere. Visitors from other countries could only wonder in
amazement how locals are able to allot the entire latter third part of the
calendar year to celebrating Christmas. That’s Pinoy spirit!
Part of our tradition is to fill our dining tables with
bountiful mix of foods, 1) during the “noche Buena” salo-salo, and 2) on
special gatherings with friends on several batches… last year I attended more or
less 6 Christmas parties! J
And in all these occasions, one
particular food is always present… the Christmas
HAM, a tradition King Sue Ham &Sausage Co. Inc. understands very well. King sue ham believes in delivering Premium Quality and
variety process meats packed with the latest food technology for the
consumption of the Filipino family.
King Sue has a wide variety of Premium Christmas Hams
that are sure to suit every palate, budget, and preference from the popular Chinese Ham Bone-In, Pina Ham, Sweet Ham, Hawaiian
Ham, to its Pear-Shaped Ham. “There’s a ham for everyone regardless of
age, gender, and lifestlye. It can also be enjoyed not just during the
Christmas season but all year round as well,” says Romana Go, Marketing
Manager for King Sue.
It is
no surprise then that Filipinos who wish to make a lasting impression to
special people in their lives choose to either serve these during breakfast,
lunch, or dinner, and most often give these as gifts during the season.
Indeed,
King Sue is a part of Filipino Christmas tradition as the quezo de bola and
the various lucky round fruits and its quest to satisfy the Filipino taste and
their ever-changing lifestyle will always be at its core values.
If you want to delight your guests with “A Taste Fit for a King,” get a King
Sue Ham on your dining tables this Christmas season!!!

Their
Humble Beginnings
Its
founder, Mr. Cu Un Kay, came to
Manila from China as a 12-year-old on board a vessel. Even at a young age, he
knew the importance of hard work and was employed as a cook by his uncle who
owned a cold storage facility in Echague. There, he met a German who later
taught him to manufacture hams and cold cuts.
Using
this knowledge, Mr. Cu Un Kay started his own business and sought to perfect
the meat production process using only aluminum cauldron over three adobe
stones. He concentrated on producing hams, especially the Bone-in-Chinese Ham,
which his business became known for.
At
the end of World War II, the brand “King Sue” was born. “KING”, the family surname, implies
royalty and enormity while “SUE”,
means small in Fookien. The two
names, while seemingly contradicting, actually tells the story of how Mr. Cu Un
Kay may have had modest beginnings, but his dreams and ambition are big.
