Make Christmas Sweeter with King Sue Hams
Hello po! As Pinoys, we know that in no other country is Christmas more special than here in the Philippines! Being more than a tradition, it's a way of life. Visitors from other countries could only be amazed how locals are able to allot the entire latter third part of the calendar year to celebrating the Yuletide Season.
We have the longest Christmas - starting in the -ber month and lasting til the Three Kings, sometimes even til the Sto. Nino de Tondo Fiesta! As soon as September arrives, well-loved Christmas songs are already being played in radio stations and people already start putting up their decorations.
An important part of that, of course, are the gatherings with family and friends. And for this particular season, the highlight will always be the Christmas ham, a tradition King Sue Ham & Sausage Co. Inc. understands very well.
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.
The same could be said of Christmas gatherings in the Philippines. No matter how big or small, Filipino gatherings have a way of making one feel like royalty and King Sue exists to provide Premium Quality processed meats that deliver a taste fit for a king, a queen, a prince or even a princess.
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 lifestyle. 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.
Indeed, King Sue is as 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.
It's 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.
Yes, 'Xmas' is a time for merry-making and festive salu-salo, but let's not forget to reflect this Yuletide season the true reason for our celebration! Thanks for reading this PR for King Sue, beloved hams since 1930! :)!
