“ For me, this is the best authentic Chinese ham available in Metro Manila. This is our brand of ham since my Grandmother's era and still stood the test of time. Although the price has doubled ever since, the taste and the quality is still the same excellent as its brand name. Though you have to look for a parking slot because they are beside the busy street of Quiapo.
