My family and I went to Kensington market for Pedestrian Sunday and were looking forward to trying Tito Ron's. They had mini empanadas, barbecue skewers, and ice cream sundaes.
We tried their Sarsi pork (Sarsi is a root beer type soft drink popular in the Philippines and other parts of Asia). Unlike many other Filipino barbecue skewers, this was very meaty and not overly charred. This was the only savoury food my niece was interested in eating at the market, so we even came back a second time for another pork skewer and to try their sundae and empanadas. Their empanadas ($0.50 each) were 1-2 bite sized and had a slightly sweet dough surrounding the meat and vegetable filling.
The sundae was quite unique in that it came with two mini turons (spring rolls filled with sweet filling; in this case purple yam or ube). The turons, mini ube pillow-shaped cookies, and crushed banana chips provide a great textural contrast with the ice cream. Unfortunately they ran out of ube ice cream by the time we ordered but they replaced this with mango and queso ice creams which suited me just fine.
As a proud Filipina, it warms my heart when I see Filipino food elevated and in demand. Thank goodness for Tito Ron's and similar businesses who bring Filipino food to the forefront and make it accessible and sought after.
