Although Adobo has reminded me of some terrible memories, like being made fun of, it also helps me remember my fondest memories, like watching my mother make it. Adobo is what brought the family together and showed how great they were. Family parties were the best because being both Filipino and Chinese I got to see both cultures in one area while listening to two different types of languages spoken endlessly. Also seeing many different types of food, from Filipino food to Chinese food. Adobo was my anchor, my family is Filipino and my Chinese side also loves the adobo my Filipino side cooks, it's part of the reason they come back sometimes, the fact that food has the power to create memories for all those who come. Adobo was a big factor because I have seen more of it in my life than any other food. He was always there when there was an important family
