I discovered it in our dorm way back in college and continued my love affair with it before I got married in 2015. I stopped eating Lucky Me Pancit Canton when it had a \"make-over\" middle of last year. The pack is now bigger, but the noodles are flatter and thicker to give that \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.philstar.com\/food-and-leisure\/2016\/06\/29\/1597840\/will-old-pancit-canton-be-back-maker-speaks\"\u003E\"umami\" slurp\u003C\/a\u003E. I don't like it, and I stopped eating it. It's not just the same. The Internet agrees with me, and there are a lot of articles and petitions on bringing back the old. I personally don't like the thickness of the noodles and the difficulty to blend the powder, oil, and sauces on it. I also had to add Knorr Liquid Seasoning to add some flavors to the noodles.\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Ca name='more'\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nI was skipping all the way to our nearest 7-11 to covet packets of \"the old\" Lucky Me Pancit Canton. I was very disappointed when all I saw were the new Lucky Me packaging versions in different flavors. I asked the 7-11 people, and they told me that there are no new \"old\" and I have to settle with the new \"new.\" I was very insistent, so I googled the Lucky Me John Lloyd-Bea video dubbed as #OurOneAndOnly to prove a point.\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nIt was a very classic Popoy-Basha video that tugs the heart. The video intends to remind us of the timeless favorite noodles. The operational word is \"intends,\" and it was very effective. The old Pancit Canton is \"NOT super back,\" but Lloydie and Bea reminded us of feel-good love and how Lucky Me Pancit Canton is #OurOneAndOnly...EVEN if the packaging and noodles are new. The taste and formula of the old Lucky Me was back \u003Ci\u003Edaw\u003C\/i\u003E and \u003Ci\u003E\"mas pinasarap pa\"\u003C\/i\u003E\u0026nbsp;according to some replies from Lucky Me's Community Managers on their FB Page. So the story is: the newest Lucky Me Pancit Canton version has the new packaging with the new flat noodles but with the old formula and taste. But, again, the sauces and powder are not my main issue. But I am happy somehow that they brought back the old taste. My concern with the \"new\" Lucky Me Pancit Canton is the \"new\" noodles. I was still kinda disappointed, so I grabbed these super new and super latest Lucky Me Pancit Canton and tried a hack that I've been thinking about for a long time.

BUT our friend, \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.pattylaurel.com\/\"\u003EPatty Laurel-Filart\u003C\/a\u003E, suggested and recommended her wedding caterer to me. I checked them out, found very good food reviews from past wedding couples, and fell in love with their superb styling. Food is very important in any event.

The diet is consist of food that our ancestors hunt, fish or gather in the olden days. It's made up of fruits, vegetables, lean meats, seafood, eggs, nuts \u0026amp; seeds. It doesn't allow grains so my favorite rice, pasta and bread dishes are definitely out of the question. The diet also eliminates dairy products, legumes and processed oils.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Ca name='more'\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/abbiereal\/16263597062\" title=\"Paleo Manila by Abbie Real, on Flickr\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Paleo Manila\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7485\/16263597062_6d012a3c28_z.jpg\" width=\"427\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nPaleo Manila is just like your usual lunchbox diet service.
