Filipino-Australian chefs Yanna Hermoso and Jolo Morales are on a journey to explore their Australian roots while sharing their heritage through the baked goods they grew up with. Taking a bite of their products is almost like taking a bit of a Filipino classic, but with an elevated twist. 'Alsa' in Tagalog (a central Philippine language) means 'to rise'.
Pandesal, slightly sweet bread rolls that are traditionally pulled apart and eaten for breakfast are available in a handful of varieties including rye, and latik (caramelised coconut). Or try the ensaymada, a brioche-type bread topped with cheese.
