1. Christmas hams

Did you know that eating ham during this festive period has been a tradition since the 16th century when King Henry VIII first had turkey ham for Christmas? Here are some places where you can buy some of the best Christmas hams in Singapore and include them in your year-end feast with your loved ones!

• Raffles Singapore

The Tender Semi Bone-in Half Gammon Ham (S$78) from Raffles Singapore is definitely worth a try this Christmas thanks to its low fat servings. It is served with a wide selection of healthy side dishes such as roasted vegetables, button mushrooms, Brussels sprouts, and tomatoes. Additionally, you can also choose to add some of Raffles Singapore’s a la carte treats like freshly baked cookies to your dinner set-up.

• Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel

Another great option for Christmas hams has got to be from Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel! Specifically, we recommend the Honey & Clove Glazed Ham (S$168) that comes in a bone-in or boneless option. Moreover, adding cloves seems to be a good choice to enhance the ham due to its aromatic smell and subtly sweet flavour.

• The Meat Club

As the winner of the 2019-20 Australian PorkMark Ham Award, The Meat Club has definitely made its mark as an online butcher that sells one of the best Christmas hams in Singapore. In particular, their Honey Glazed Ham (S$60) and Barossa Bone-in Ham (S$200) are fan favourites because they are pre-cooked. All you need to do is heat it through before slicing and serving it to your guests!
