When it comes to the eve of Christmas in Philippines, also known as Noche Buena, Hamon de Bola is a definite must-have on the Christmas table. A ball-shaped ham with a fruity glaze, it is usually enjoyed between two slices of Filipino bread rolls also known as pan de sal. In the past, these Spanish-style hams would arrive around Easter from Mexico and could be preserved till Christmas. The round shape of the ham is believed to bring good fortune and you’ll definitely not want to miss the Hamon de Bola from China Mommy which is made from a special family recipe that is 30 years old!
