Excelente Ham

This blog entry is almost a month too late. I wanted to post about Excelente ham last Christmas but a trip there was just impossible during that season. It is always brimming with people during Christmas so I just decided to make my trip last Sunday.
Not just to blog it but to enjoy probably what I would consider as the best ham I have ever tried.


It is along Palanca Street in Quiapo, the same busy street where Quinta Market is.

It is ham cooked the traditional Chinese way, and definitely tasting the way ham should be. Our favorite, of course, is the whole ham but the scrap and sliced varieties are also available.


They offer other products too but we have yet to try most of them. Aside from the ham, we have tried their bacon and they are mighty good too. I hope to make it early next Christmas to avoid the rush.


For me, ham is Excelente and Excelente is ham.

  1. Wow the place looks so authentic! I think I'll go try the bacon there. I love bacon!
    The ham looks like my lola's, from the looks, color, down to the sugary glaze. Does it come with ham sauce too?=)

  4. My dad likes Chinese ham but I prefer American. I haven't tried Excellente. I wish they have branches in the mall.

  5. I like their products but last year, I tried their sweet bacon and I found it a bit weird. Sugar encrusted bacon? And to think that I have a swet tooth. Maybe, it's just that I am so used to the old salt laden thin strips of pork. :)

    Nice blog, doc!
