For many years, I've ordered the same favorites from Taters and that is their Super Pop and Tater Chips in Wasabi and White Cheddar flavor. Every time we watch a movie, I would always volunteer to line up while my companions bought the tickets. Like me, my friends would have their own favorites so they need not glance on the menu. This routine seemed convenient to me and I'm sure for many. But, I never realized that I could be missing out on trying out other products that Taters had to offer.
Just last month, I had the chance to glance at their menu, and realized that they had a wide variety of offerings like Sandwiches.
Sandwiches
I tried the Churkey Burger Quarter Pound with Cheese Slice Meal because it sounds like a good deal. The meal inlcudes the Churkey Burger Quarter Pound (I opted to add 10 php for a cheese slice), a 12 oz drink of your choice: Soda or Iced Tea and a choice of siding: Tater Chips, House Fryes, Tortilla Chips or Super Pop.
The Churkey Burger's pattie is actually a combination of Chicken and Turkey. I know you're probably thinking that is a lame and healthy choice. I'll admit, I thought so too until I took a bite... And, I was was practically drooling over the Churkey Burger. I couldn't believe thatt his juicy, lean, healthy, tasty and affordable burger was right under my nose all along and I didn't discover this until today. I usually don't order a chicken burger because I often find it tough to chew and lacking in flavor, more so with the Turkey which is more dry and stale.
Whenever I'm busy, I used to rush off to watch a movie after school and eat dinner in the cinema. We'd always have to rush of to a fast food joint, line up and take out our meals. Then, we'd pass by Taters for our Super Pop and Tater Chips. With this discovery, I'll be ordering my meals at Taters with much ease, convenience, savings and satisfaction too. Seriously, I dare you to try this!
All Time Snacks
I also got to try the
Cheddar Munchers which are like the mini hash browns filled with cheddar cheese. I've always been a fan of hash browns so you can just imagine my glee as I popped these into my mouth and munched into its crunchiness followed by the mushiness. I'm going for the Mexican Munchers next!
If you prefer it sweet, I'm sure you'll love the Sweet Tater Tots. I think kids will love these.
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Taters has consistently offered quality American snacks since 1994. I admire their drive for innovation that so they can offer more snacks and now even meal options that upgrade our movie experience. Aside from that, they offer catering and delivery too so just go ahead and satisfy your cravings.

Since I'm very near Robsinson's Ermita, I've dined at almost every restaurant there even before I started blogging. However, when a foodie friend mentioned KXP Kulinarya Experience as her favorite, I cannot recall my dining experience there so I decided to revisit.

| Chicken Strips on Baked Tomato Rice (195 php) |
Update (March 10, 2014): I'm quite surprised that this establishment which has been there for years is now closed. Well, I will never forget my meal experience here for personal reasons. It was here that I realized what I had to do and where I wanted to go in life. They have transferred to Rockwell Business Center.
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Kulinarya Experience KXP is an alternative to the popular fast food chains. I find their express dishes in the same league in terms of food quality and serving size. But, their pricing is a bit higher. The food is good enough but not impressive. I would not suggest their solo sizes for hefty eaters like us. As the foreigner who was dined at the table next to us stated "the serving size is for ladies".

Thanks to the Kulinarya Kalayaan Festival 2012, I got to discover great places to dine for our Filipino dishes. When looking for something more than the traditional, there's C2 Classic Cuisine at Robinson's Midtown. It is offers Pinoy favorites with a twist.
C2 Classic Cuisine has a simple ambiance similar to our Filipino dinning area. It has wooden tables and chairs with picture frames to add a little decor.

The Turon ala Mode is banana and ube rolled into crisp and drizzled with langka sauce and butterscotch. Since its an "ala Mode", it is served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Without or without the ice cream, the turon is outstanding!

C2 Classic Cuisine redefines Filipino dishes like no other. I was impressed with their desserts while the other dishes were just good enough. Since we missed out on trying out their best sellers, I'd like to visit this place again next time.

Located on the top most level of Robinson's Place Midtown is Secret Recipe. Secret Recipe is an international lifestyle cafe chain with over 250 outlets worldwide.
Secret Recipe Robinson's Midtown has a casual yet cozy ambiance. It's a place where people can stop by for their meals. Shoppers also tend to hang out just for drinks and dessert.

Chicken
![]() |
| Grilled Black Pepper Chicken (245 php) |
The Grilled Black Pepper Chicken is a quarter chicken served with heavily peppered gravy. The sauce is not bad but I found the chicken a bit too dry.

| ♥Roasted Chicken with Tumeric Sauce (280 php) |
The Roasted Chicken with Tumeric Sauce is very delicious! It was roasted chicken with a rich tumeric sauce. The soft, tender and juicy chicken complemented by a herb-y sauce is perfect! This is one of the best meals for that night.

| Noodle in Tom Yum Kung (280 php) |

| Mozzarella Baked Fish (315 php) |
The Mozzarella Baked Fish was the last to be served among all the orders. We were almost finished with our meals when it arrived. One of my companions joked that the fish must have gone out of stock so they had to run and buy it. On the other hand, I was assuming that the Mozzarella Baked Fish takes so long to prepare because it was special. Well, the Mozzarella Baked Fish is actually baked dory fish with a few seasonings topped with melted mozzarella. It was also garnished with some cherry tomatoes. This dish did not leave any impact upon us.

| ♥Irish Lamb Shank (485 php) |
Secret Recipe's Irish Lamb Shank is their award winning dish. Of course, we were very eager to try it out! To tell you honestly, I've had a lot of bad experiences with lamb. I've dealt with a lot of bad odors and gamey taste even to the point that it made me feel sick. I am very pleased that Secret Recipe's Irish Lamb Shank erased all the bitter memories away. It is the best lamb I have ever tried! It smelled and tasted great. It was also juicy and tender that the meat was falling off the bone.
Fresh Cream Cakes
![]() |
| ♥White Chocolate Macadamia (95 php) |
Having tried all the Secret Recipe Fresh Cream Cakes, the White Chocolate Macadamia wins my vote as the best among them all! The White Chocolate Macadamia leaves a light yet fulfilling sensation. You should try it!

| Chocolate Indulgence (95 php) |
The Chocolate Indulgence is a blend of chocolate, mocha and cream. It is my second bet when it comes to Secret Recipe Fresh Cream Cakes.
Update as of December 22, 2019: Not too long after Secret Recipe adjusted its prices, it still didn't gain much popularity and announced its closure.
Secret Recipe offers delicious and quality international meals. Price may be a bit more than usual. But, we think that's rational since it is serving unique international dishes. Its Irish Lamb Shank is certainly worth the try! I also highly recommend its cakes. I'm glad they dropped its cake prices to 900 php. A few years back, it was at 1,200++ php.

During our Christmas shopping spree in search of gifts, our family noticed a poster at Robinson's Midtown. The poster was very enticing so we got to the fourth floor and purchased our White Strawberry Christmas Cake (1,100 php/whole cake) from Secret Recipe Robinson's Midtown.

| ♥ White Strawberry Christmas Cake |
Upon our arrival, everyone took a slice of the White Strawberry Christmas Cake. It was very delicious! The slightly tangy strawberry and whip cream blended perfectly together. It was not too sweet nor was it too bland. The bread was moist and soft. Each layer has strawberry filling so it was flavorful in every bite.
