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 16 - Adobo Standards and Fave Eats
In this episode, Anna and Razel take listeners on a delicious journey through Australia's Filipino food scene. They share their favourite picks for Filipino restaurants in Sydney, from hidden gems to well-known favourites in other states.
The main dish on the table? A spicy debate: should adobo be standardised like Italy's famous Margherita Pizza (Pizza Napoletana) or France's protected Champagne? Taking off from the 2021 campaign from the Philippines' Department of Trade and Industry and the Bureau of Philippine Standards to develop the Philippine National Standards for Filipino dishes, such as adobo.
Anna and Razel share their opinions, the pros and cons of creating a single, official adobo recipe, exploring whether it would elevate the dish's global status or erase its rich, regional diversity.
Would an "Adobo Manifesto" bring the dish the recognition it deserves or stifle the creativity and regional variations that make it so special?
Is it possible to bottle the essence of adobo without losing the unique family recipes and regional twists that have defined it for generations?
