| - I grew up on FIlipino food, so when this place opened up in Kensington Market, I knew I had to drop by and visit. Tito Ron's is Filipino food with a twist - Filipino-Caribbean fusion, unique, with a menu offering a number of sweet and savoury options (check their website to see what they're offering that day). In short, I loved it.
Located in a building that houses a group of food stalls (the same one that has Pancho's Bakery for churros), we dropped by on a Friday evening after dinner to pick up something sweet for dessert. We ordered a tray of Ube Spring Rolls (4 pieces). For those unfamiliar, Ube is a form of purple yam that's sweet and often used in Filipino desserts. The spring rolls were topped with a mix of mango condensed milk and crispy bits of plantain chips. We absolutely loved it - it was sweet, crunchy, with various textures and made for a really enjoyable after-meal treat.
Tito Ron's recently opened a couple of weeks ago, and they have great variety to their menu. On top of sweet spring rolls, they also have savoury spring rolls (stuffed with jerk chicken, channa, etc.), and actual meal offerings ("ulam") like tocino, spam, lechon, etc. Looking forward to trying out the rest of their menu!
For a tray of 4 pieces of Ube Spring Rolls, we paid $5.00. There's seating at the back of the unit to enjoy your meal. Also, tip: they're closed on Mondays.
