Titina, or Haw Flakes as they are called these days, is a compressed sweet snack made of plum fruit that comes wafer thin, in both round and rectangular forms. When we were kids, we used the round version to simulate the priest giving communion, to which Gwammy would always give us the stern eye. Well, we were kids then... This delicious munchie was a staple purchase of our shopping trips to Binondo (Chinatown) and this was my super favorite of them all, even topping rock candy (as in solid sugar), kiamoy (sour plum) and champoy (sweet plum). Vicky bought some last week; It doesn't cost much (maybe P40 a pack) and is easily available in most Oriental stores. Go and experiment, you'll like it!
