Your Favorite Dishes Are a Giveaway That You’re a Tita

Sure, we all love our titas: they dish out advice like everything is her business and is ready for anything (she has tissue, wet wipes, even a rosary in her bag), clad in her pearl-and-pashmina scarf ensemble. But wait, can you possibly be a tita, too?  

Do you do your food shopping at weekend markets and never let a good buffet spread go to waste? Your fave dishes might be a giveaway that you're a tita-in-the-making, too:

Kare-kare

Because your version of a light meal is one filled a thick tasty sauce and lots and lots of veggies.

Binagoongang Baboy with Asian Herbs

Extra rice, please!

Fresh Lumpiang Ubod

Your weekend will not be complete without this dish.

Carbonara

It’s a tried and tested favorite —why try other dishes?
