Lady E Eats

Sometimes dinner does not need to make sense to anyone except the person eating it. Sometimes you want spaghetti. Sometimes you want potatoes. And sometimes McDonald’s chops crinkle-cut potatoes into adorable little pieces, puts them inside what looks suspiciously like a tiny pillow box, calls them Poptato , and suddenly regular fries have competition. At least in our house. Poptato is one of the newer additions to the McDonald’s Philippines menu, arriving around the same time as the Choco Lava Puff I recently tried . And unlike the Choco Lava Puff, which left my son and me somewhere around the hmmm, it’s okay territory, Poptato was an immediate hit.

This is something I like doing in convenience stores, rest stops, groceries, and supermarkets. When I first saw the box, I already felt this wasn’t your typical neighborhood bakery cheese pie. The packaging alone—clean white, elegant gold accents, and that little window showing the golden top—makes it look like something you’d proudly bring to a family gathering or gift to a friend. A First Taste We got home around 1 am, if I remember correctly. My son and I were hungry and the simplest thing to prepare is instant ramen. I knew the salty ramen would go perfectly with this cheese pie. I was very excited to try it right away. Opening the box, the smell of butter and cheese comes through right away. The pie itself is very thin—almost like a butter cake, but denser, richer. When I sliced th...
