00:00Do you also wish for Christmas to have less life-threatening challenges, KaWonderers?
00:09Alright, let's try something else first.
00:19It tastes like a typical Filipino dish. It's sweet.
00:25It's a mixture of Tocino and street food.
00:31It's okay. It's medium sweet.
00:37But KaWonderers, believe it or not, this ham is not made from pork.
00:43Wait, where is it?
00:50The ham that we gave a try to Metro Manila,
00:54is a product of Valeriano and Lorna of Gensan.
01:01This is Tuna Hamon de Bola.
01:06The couple started their business in 1998.
01:18They used to sell tuna fish in the market.
01:21Lorna started her business in Tuna Chorizo when she thought of cooking tuna for breakfast.
01:32Her tuna hamon de bola became a bestseller.
01:38Hamon de bola started in 2015.
01:44Our quota for every Christmas is 10,000 packs.
01:48100% pure tuna.
01:51This is rich in Omega 3.
01:54Aside from its unique taste, they chose to make tuna hamon
01:59because it's healthier than the usual pork.
02:05But before becoming a star in every table in Noche Buena,
02:10the process of making tuna hamon de bola in their factory is more difficult.
02:14After cleaning and cutting the tuna into small pieces,
02:19it's ground in a grinder to make it finer.
02:25Then, it's seasoned with sugar, milk, vegetable oil, salt, breadcrumbs, and special seasoning.
02:37The tuna meat is weighed with 760 grams of plastic.
02:43Next, it's cooked in a steamer for 30 minutes.
02:50Then, it's soaked in honey-glazed syrup that will serve as its sauce.
03:02Lastly, they add syrup again before closing it tightly with their seal and net.
03:14Here's our tuna hamon de bola, guys. Let's taste it.
03:21Aside from the natural taste of the tuna from Gensan,
03:25the secret to their sweet taste is their hardworking employees.
03:35That's why they celebrate tuna hamon de bola together as an early Christmas meal.
