FLAVOURS OF ILOILO

Always in the center of a typical Filipino Noche Buena is the "hamon". No matter which brand or what kind ham it maybe, the Christmas Eve midnight gastronomic gathering would seem incomplete without it. One ham that seems to be just within the taste and price range of the Ilonggos is the house brand of Iloilo Supermart - Right Choice . For around PhP 600+ per kilo, the Right Choice Ham is not like those typical hams which were made months earlier in preparation for Christmas. Instead, it can be termed as a freshly made ham yet still almost have the same taste and texture of the typical ham. So with this ham, I made my own healthy "double down" with kangkong mixed with three cheeses (Parmesan, Queso de Bola and Cheesewhiz) and chili garlic. It was a refreshing take as the ham complemented the taste of the vegetable concoction I experimented on.

Here's something different that would look good at the same time appetizing on our table this Holiday season. Now that Christmas is over so is Noche Buena but there's still the New Year and this chicken ham from Iloilo Supermart is perfect for the Media Noche on the 31st. Sold only during the holiday season -  around December 15 onwards, this ham has the same seasoning (I'm just assuming though) as their Piña Ham sold under the Right Choice brand.  It is perfect to be eaten as is, I nicked the slices above after my photo, I just can't resist. And they indeed taste like the pork ham which are good even without the sauce. But this time I like the sauce for every bite of this chicken ham for it enhances the flavour more.    Right Choice Chicken Ham is available in all Iloilo Supermart branches  (The Atrium, Molo, Villa, Mandurriao, Jaro and Marymart Center)
