It might look similar to another Filipino dish called Patatim but this dish have a hint of freshness and tang due to the use of pineapple juice in the simmering process. 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.
