Our Story
About Our Restaurant
Tita Celia’s passion for cooking began in her hometown of Malolos, Bulacan. At just 8 years old, she was already helping in the kitchen alongside her mother, Remy, and lola, Arsenia. At 15, her family moved to Novaliches, Quezon City, where she continued to develop her skills in her mother’s restaurant.
Experience the rich flavors and traditions of authentic Filipino cooking, passed down through generations. From Tita Celia’s childhood kitchen in Malolos, Bulacan to her bustling restaurant in Carson, California, every dish is a story of family, heritage, and love for food.
