Adobo Yarn
The podcast is about navigating the migrant life as Filipinos in Australia, discussing culture, food, experiences and adventures. "Adobo" represents the rich and layered nature of the human experience. Just like adobo can be adapted with different ingredients and methods, our lives are a blend of diverse influences made rich through the stories and culture that we bring and the new traditions that we create.
"Yarn" symbolises the sharing of stories and experiences. We are weaving a narrative together, connecting with each other through the threads of our personal histories and perspectives.”

Ep 8 - Unwrapping Memories: Filipino Snacks, Then and Now
Mabuhay! In this episode Anna and Razel are diving into the treasure trove of Filipino snacks that shaped their childhoods and continue to bring them comfort in Australia.
Listen in and join us on a delicious journey through the world of some well-loved Filipino snacks! We'll trace the origins and evolution of beloved bites like the shortbread texture of polvoron, the delicate crisp of Lengua de Gato to the addictive Clover Chips, the sweet, boat-shaped goodness of boat tarts, and the familiar favourites like flaky Hopia, creamy Choco Mallows, and the crumbly uniquely Filipino Chocnut. We're reminiscing about lunchbox treats, the excitement of pasalubong, and how these iconic bites have journeyed with us to our new lives down under.
Join Anna and Razel as we discover how these treats evoke memories of home, find their way into our Aussie pantries, and help us share a taste of Filipino culture with our new community.
And while you're here, tell us friends and family - what were your favourite snacks and treats growing up (wherever you're from!) and if you have kids, do they share the same fondness for these bites growing up?
Share your culinary stories with us!!
And.... if you want to suggest yarn topics we are all ears! We'll even invite you to join the podcast!
