This dish was named after a closely related dish called Hamon (Pineapple Glazed Pork Leg Ham) due to its similarity in some components of the dish like the use of pork leg and pineapple juice.

This ham is making me hungry. This is breakfast time but if I had this dish in front of me I’d not mind at all to eat it for breakfast. 🙂
Does this recipe require fresh or smoked pork hocks, looks delicious.
