Lucky Me Pancit Pares Beef Asado

Item Classification: New

Review:

Lucky Me Pancit Pares Beef Asado is the latest addition to the dry noodles line-up of Monde Nissin Corporation. Its commercial is currently airing on television with John Lloyd Cruz as the endorser.

A lot of dry noodles have been emerging in the market in different flavors but this one is really a stand-out because its seasoning comes in a single "Sarsa Pak". And as the name implies, instead of the usual powdered flavoring, it's in a liquid sauce form. Its unusual seasoning then made me curious and I decided to buy some.

When I went home, I immediately cooked the noodles (noodle is similar to that of the regular instant pancit canton) and waited for a few minutes before draining it and mixing the sauce. When I poured the seasoning, the air started to smell sumptuous. And, it made me feel that I can't wait anymore to have a taste.

The Beef Asado flavor was really justified in the taste of this instant noodles. The not-so-thick sauce is sweet and beefy and has some resemblance to the taste of "Asado-flavored Siopao". It also feels as though there's really beef in the noodles even if there's no meat included in the seasoning.

Plus, like the other Lucky Me noodles, it is also healthy because the product has No Artificial Preservatives Added (NAPA).

With the taste of this product, I could say that it's a good choice for merienda. In fact, those who are fond of having Pancit Canton as a viand will definitely enjoy this one too with rice. And if you wish to make the dish more saucy, you may cook it with 1 1/4 cup of water then don't drain anymore. Add the sauce as the noodles starts to be cooked. Wait for 2 minutes and it's ready to eat.

Now available in leading supermarkets and in some stores nationwide.

Jack 'n Jill Magic Chips

Product name: Jack 'n Jill Magic Chips (cheese flavor)
Manufacturer: Universal Robina Corporation (URC)
Item Classification: Barely There

Review:

Jack 'n Jill Magic Chips is a product of URC that was launched around late 2008 or early 2009. I saw this snack a few months ago at the grocery in the "biscuits section". At first I thought that it is just the plain Magic Crackers packaged and cut in a certain way just so it could pass the criteria of being "chips". But it isn't and I'm grateful that I tried it.

Magic Chips is a snack created with crackers but styled in the "junk food" manner. This food item actually blends the crunchiness of crackers and the addicting taste of chips. But to be different from the ordinary crackers, it is served in thin bite-size squares and flavored with just enough cheese. Not too salty and not too powdery.

Another good point about this product is the way it was prepared. Unlike other chips, Magic Chips is baked. And because of this, it contains 25% less fat than those chips that were fried. Thus, it can satisfy your junk food craving in a healthy way.

Magic Chips is available in leading supermarkets nationwide. It comes in three flavors: cheese, barbecue and onion 'n garlic (though I hardly see this one already).
