Rockwell UTT Winner #16:
DAIMS FOOD SAUSAGES3.75
97 foodies rated 5- Awesome! I would recommend it!
161 foodies rated 4- I love it!
128 foodies rated 3- We had a good time.
27 foodies rated 2- It is OK.
6 foodies rated 1- Thanks, but it could be better.
We’ve tried a lot of different sausages from various delis, but when we tasted Daim’s premium sausages, we immediately noticed the yummy difference.
A lot of the foodies like the BBQ Griller Sausage. But since I enjoy spicy food, it’s no surprise that my personal favorite is their Wasabi Sausage (you have the option to try the hotter version).
Congratulations to Daims for getting the foodie seal of approval in the Rockwell UTT!
The Story of Daims Deli Farms
by MA. LYN B. SALVADOR
As a child, my siblings and I were exposed to food and various food preparations, having the
town’s cook come to our house every month to slaughter a whole pig, dozens of chickens
and butcher half a carcass of beef. From dawn to dusk for two days, the chief cook and his
assistants would simultaneously orchestrate big cauldrons resting on open pits in our backyard, simply because my mother doesn’t cook, but she made sure there is good food properly
organized for the family and guests.
Food tripping was our passion. I was from Lipa City, Batangas and going to Manila in the late
’60s was literally a pilgrimage experience. Still, we would go at least twice a month to tour a
place and eat at a new restaurant. Yes, Manila was our travel destination then.
Deciding what to take up in college was easy. I wanted Food and Nutrition and, at that time,
PWU was the noted school for such a course. Luckily, PWU was offering an experimental
course in Institutional Food Administration, which was a 5-year course with a thesis. It’s the first
and only one of its kind wherein food science courses namely Food Technology, Nutrition &
Dietetics were integrated with Hotel and Restaurant Management. The main objective was to
prepare a special group of professionals with a well-rounded knowledge on food. Indeed, our
professors were college deans, department heads and former faculty from Cornell University.
After earning a degree in IFA, I was employed by SMC’s Magnolia Division to head the Magnolia
Test Kitchen under the R&D Department (which eventually was placed under the Marketing
Department). For 11 years, I had the best job a foodie would love to have. Endless recipe
development, cooking demonstrations, writing food articles and food styling were my routine
activities. My palate became so attuned to finding the distinct tastes that I could identify the
brand and kind of butter, cheese and other dairy products being used by a hotel or restaurant.
Not to mention the herbs and spices that make up a particular dish.
Career-wise, my entire existence in the corporate world revolved on food, good food. After
Magnolia, next came 19 years with Tupperware Brands, makers of premium food containers,
wherein I used my food background in developing theme parties that catapulted Tupperware
home parties. Eventually, I became the Director for Promotions and Events and (then) came endless
big functions in the US, Europe and Asia. This was followed by 3 years as a restaurant consultant
for the most diversified catering business in the Philippines. After 33 years dealing with food
here and abroad, empty nested and retired, I stayed more often in Singapore to be with my 1st
grandson. Singapore is a food haven and I couldn’t be in a better place and so the foodie’s saga
continued.
Just barely 10 months ago, I came back to the Philippines to manage two food franchising
businesses namely Hotshots (premium gourmet burgers) and Inang’s Tinapayan. Being a COO
and GM was challenging and stressful. I loved the challenge and all I needed was some playtime
so that my creativity could flow more freely. Thus, when the opportunity came, I ventured in
a sausage manufacturing plant with Marketing guru Ding Salvador (brother-in-law), a young
Marketing wiz Atchoo Ilagan and highly experienced staff. DAIMS was incorporated barely two
months ago and, already, we have a steady pool of institutional accounts. I couldn’t be happier.
Joining Our Awesome Planet’s Ultimate Taste Test 6 is our gateway to the public. For our opening
salvo, we are featuring not our best sellers, which are the popular European sausages, but
our new signature blends for Debrecziner, BBQ Griller and Vienna. Guests brave enough to
try the “hot stuff” may sample our original Wasabi Sausage. Pocket Deli brings you premium
sausages at affordable prices. What a deal!
Debrecziner – P495 Per kilo
BBQ Griller – P435 Per kilo
Vienna Sausage – P435 Per kilo
Wasabi Sausage – P495 Per kilo
Recommended Beer Pairing: Daims’ Sausages are best paired with San Miguel Super Dry.
