We have to admit we all have that one Tita whom we always want to invite when we're going to food trips, simply because we love having them around when trying something new. You know, kind of like having a second taste of the good life. 😉
Younger generations are known as more fearless and free. They are open to trying new things, experiencing thrilling adventures, and spending more on food! It's one of the reasons why they are admired by older generations.
Funnily, this is often manifested on social media. Try to navigate a millennial's social media account and read through the comments on their latest post - a vacation in Sagada or just a food trip alone Katipunan. If her/his account isn't too private, you'll see a comment from a close relative (oftentimes, a tita) saying that he/she should have tagged her along. And you have to admit - it's somehow heartwarming how our closest tita shows us their support!
Your tita is like your number 3 forever supportive fan online besides your proud mom or dad. So if you ever feel guilty of always saying "sure, next time!", we've prepared a list of meals for you and your tita to try and enjoy!
But wait, if you're not too used to going outside with them or you don't have that much moola to treat them, it's okay! Here at atmnl, we want you to try something new, even if you're a millennial or not, and within the reach and the size of your pocket! 😉

1. Go Vietnamese with a VERMICELLI NOODLE BOWL
Most Asian dishes are perfect for hot and humid weather. One of the best examples for this is is the Vietnamese noodle salad that consists of fresh veggies, herbs, and rice vermicelli topped with prawns and grilled pork chop! It's also tossed with a tangy sweet and sour sauce.
We assure you, you and your tita will enjoy this satisfying and healthy dish!

2. Have the perfect Japanese RAMEN BOWL
These days, a growing number of Filipinos are starting to realize that there's more to ramen than just an instant noodle soup that you could get in grocery stores. And thanks to food-themed TV shows that make us drool with desire, Japanese restaurants with ramen as their specialty are popping up all over the country to serve different ramen styles, from traditional to unconventional.
Your tita might have gotten used to eating just wanton noodle soups or chicken mami from the nearest fast-food chain, so why not let them know that a rich, creamy, and heart ramen is worth a try! 🤤

3. Try French with a QUICHE
"People are afraid of something they don't understand. People are afraid of things they don't understand. They don't know how to relate". This was stated by Bill Laswell. But does it have to apply to all circumstances? How about with food? We don't think so. You just have to know which food is safe to eat. 😉
So fear not and try Quiche!
Quiche is an open tart filled with bacon, onion, and cheese. It can also have other meat and seafood, and can be served hot or cold, along with some greens! Dishes like these aren't too east to find, but if you really want to, you can just google a nearby French restaurant. 😊

4. Go easy with the all-time Filipino favorite from the Spanish era - PAELLA
Let the taste join the memories of your bonding with your tita while trying this classic favourite dish from an era we are all familiar with!
You'll both surely enjoy this dish even when you're just looking at it. It's mixed with meat, seafood, eggs with special sauce, spices, and of course, rice! 😍

5. Enjoy Taiwan's HOT AND SOUR NOODLE SOUP
We've noticed that titas are always on the lookout for hot soup. Maybe it's because of the weather or just because of the fact that these dishes have a calming aroma. Invite them for a casual dining experience where noodle soups like these can be tasted!
Unlike other noodle soups, the noodles of this dish are a bit rubbery in texture. If you really want to try something unique, this is what you might be looking for. It can be odd but it's definitely delicious.
It's also best if you pair it with pork and roasted garlic xiao long bao, also known as soup dumplings. 😉

6. Have an American-style brunch with BURGER STEAK AND MASHED POTATO
American food is always a staple in brunches and dinner plates. One of the most common dishes? Burger steak! This is usually enjoyed with rice or veggies, but have you ever tried swapping them out for mashed potatoes?
This meal is more mouthwatering and less fatty (especially if you and your tita are both health conscious). Comfort at its finest! 👊

Be consistent and include these as part of your daily bread. Ask every member of your family (at least) to support you and do the same. Like a ripple effect, at least 5/10 ratio of people has a bigger impact than 2/10 ratio of saving mother earth.
