King Sue products are not only popularly available and dependable, they are also very versatile. \u201cThe dried pork feet are truly excellent for beans, fabada, and stews along with Spanish chorizos for Filipino-Spanish combinations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe King Sue burgers can be redone with herbs to create meatball, while the luncheon meat has hundreds of applications as fillings for Vietnamese and German cooking,\u201d enthused Chef Gene. But the best part of this, however, is that King Sue having withstood the test of time and changing markets, is also very reasonably priced for such top quality.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-837 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/secureservercdn.net\/198.71.233.129\/g3b.fd0.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/20191217_193234-300x195.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"195\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Hobby cooks and consultant could readily resort to King Sue when their or their client\u2019s budgets get a bit tight so as to avoid sacrificing taste and flavor.

As a fifth generation business started in 1930 by Mr Cu Un Kay who began by selling whole leg Chinese hams in Chinatown. \u201cThe name comes from King, meaning \u2018royalty,\u2019 and Sue, meaning \u2018small,\u2019 shares Mr Richie King, VP for Marketing, \u201cbecause my grandfather who is small in physical stature, has big dreams for his family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-838 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/secureservercdn.net\/198.71.233.129\/g3b.fd0.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/FB_IMG_1576584683914-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/>Thus, after 89 years, King Sue, which was incorporated in 1970, has diversified from whole leg hams to sausages and cold cuts to other meat products. \u201cToday, the company boasts of a variety of quality meat products, ranging from traditional hams to smoked bacons and sausages, as well as traditional favorites tocino, longganisa, and sisig,\u201d adds Mr King.<\/p>\n<p>King Sue, however, continues to step up its game by reaching further into the high-end and more health conscious market. In 2019 it launches its Kaiser Deli Brand, which offers ultra-premium sausages, bacons, and hams for the most discriminating clients. All King Sue products are both GMP and HACCCP certified.<\/p>\n<p>Maintaining quality and supplying the market demand are easy for the King Sue because everything\u2019s made in house using state-of-the-art German equipment. \u201cBut, even with these high-tech machinery, preparation for the Christmas season starts in August for the whole bone Chinese hams,\u201d confessed Mr King. \u201cIt takes a month to properly cure whole bone, which still needs to be smoked then cooked. It takes patience to perfect them.\u201d<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-839 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/secureservercdn.net\/198.71.233.129\/g3b.fd0.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/FB_IMG_1576584664573-205x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"205\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Major supermarkets\u2014SM, Robinson\u2019s, and Puregold\u2014as well as hotels and restaurants from La Trinidad, Metro Manila, through Bicol carry King Sue products, which are distributed nationally through distribution partners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKing Sue moves forward in 2019 with another milestone on top of its high-end line,\u201d opens Ms Romana Go, VP for Human Resources, \u201cby slowly converting to merit-based management.
