My event: November 24, 2011
Purefoods Fiesta Ham
Via Mare Oyster Bar
Rockwell Center
Filipinos love to eat! When special occasion arises, we usually prepare the best for our family members and guests. Now that the holiday season is here, only one Christmas ham will be the star of Noche Buena... Purefoods Fiesta Ham!
Purefoods Fiesta Ham... Star of Noche Buena
Every year, during Christmas season, I received at least one Fiesta Ham... no kidding! Apparently, it is the # 1 ham in the Philippines. In fact, according to the most recent survey of TNS Philippines, Purefoods Christmas hams are preferred by 8 out of 10 moms.

Feast your eyes on the food on our table...
Ham Canape
I was really hungry so I ate 3 of these ham canape ; p The caramelized pineapple combined with Purefods Fiesta Ham topping made this appetizer really irresistible.
Fruits and Vegetable Ham Salad
I have not eaten asparagus in such a long time, this is surely a welcome treat for me. You can change the kind of vegetable wrapped by ham or replace it with fruit instead. Whatever you decide, your salad will still be a healthy and yummy treat for your family and guests.

Glazed Bone- In Leg of Ham with Candied Sweet Potato & Gravy
This dish is really salivating as Ms Baretto related to us how she painstakingly prepared it by marinating the ham overnight with pineapple juice. I was even tempted to asked for a second serving ; p
