Mang Juan Chicharron Sukang Paombong (Flavoured No-Pork Chicharron) 90g

Mang Juan Sukang Paombong, the Original Palm Vinegar Chicharron from the Philippines

Before the spicy and chilli variants came along, there was Sukang Paombong. This is the one that started it all for Mang Juan fans, a no-pork green pea crackling soaked in the distinctive tang of palm vinegar, a traditional Filipino condiment made from the sap of nipa palms. Sukang Paombong has a gentler, more rounded sourness compared to cane or coconut vinegar, giving this 90g bag a character that stands apart from your average flavoured crisp. The crackling itself is light and crunchy with a satisfying snap, and the vinegar coating is applied generously enough to hit on every piece. Produced by Jack 'n Jill, one of the Philippines' most iconic snack manufacturers and distributed in the UK by M.A. Oriental Foods Ltd., this is the real thing, not a local imitation. Fans of authentic Filipino flavours will find exactly what they are after right here. Explore more in our Filipino food and snacks collection alongside other Jack 'n Jill favourites.

How to Enjoy This Classic Filipino Crackling Snack

Best eaten straight from the bag, ideally at room temperature so the crackling stays at its crunchiest. Sukang Paombong is a natural sharing snack, great for laying out at Filipino gatherings, fiestas, or just an afternoon at home with family. The palm vinegar flavour makes it a good match for a cold fizzy drink or an ice-cold beer. Some fans like to add a few drops of fresh vinegar or a pinch of chilli flakes on the side to dial up the intensity, but the base flavour is complete and satisfying on its own. It also makes a brilliant topping for Filipino dishes like lugaw or sinangag, adding a crunchy, tangy contrast to warm, soft textures.
