About Tita

Marrickville’s Filipino food counter serves unapologetic comfort that easily cures homesickness. Stepping inside feels like showing up unannounced for an afternoon feed at family's house. Tables fill fast with orders of combination silog loaded with savory meats and garlicky rice, alongside pork adobo and crispy fried chicken ladled with mushroom gravy. The drinks cooler holds cold Manila matcha sweetened with condensed milk and tart calamansi juice that skips the cloying syrup. Sweet teeth grab a box of chocobutternut donuts—tasting like they were packed straight out of Manila—or a cup of pink skrambol.

  • Homestyle Comfort Food: Savory meats and garlicky rice lead combination silog plates alongside pork adobo and crispy chicken in mushroom gravy.
  • Distinctive Regional Drinks: Cold Manila matcha enriched with condensed milk and tart calamansi juice made without excess syrup.
  • Bakery & Street Sweets: Boxes of nostalgic chocobutternut donuts, ube banoffee, and pink shaved-ice skrambol.
  • Family-Style Welcome: Warm, attentive front-of-house hospitality that makes an afternoon drop-in feel like visiting family.
