COVID-19 Movement Control – Day 70
Lunch: Chicken wrap with Cinco de Mayo Salsa Cruda
Today is already the Day 70, also the 3rd day of Hari Raya and public holiday. Usually, we would have gone out for house visiting or having coffee chat with friends. But now, we are staying in, finding interesting thing to do before we die of boredom.
For me, I have been cooking far more than the total cooking I’ve done for my entire life prior to this MCO. I’ve tried lots of new recipes, inclusive of meal prep and then, take lots and lots of photos and post them on Facebook, Instagram or/and my blog. This blog is active again during this MCO, it was left idle for a few years with only 3 posts in 2016, 1 post in 2017 and I stopped blogging in 2018 and 2019 and moved to Instagram. During this MCO period, I’ve posted more than 20 posts in my blog and contributed 8 posts to Club Tefal Facebook!
2 days ago, I received the sweetest message from Wendy “Sista, I just want to drop u a message that I am happy to see ur FB posts. The old Saw Leng is back to cooking, baking, writing and sharing. Glad ur confidence are back. Lots of hugs”. Hug, hug you back. Tight, tight, Wendy
Using the salsa that we made yesterday, we add in chicken and hard-boiled eggs for protein and wrap them for our lunch today.
Yesterday, on Hari Raya Day 2, since it’s not a working day, another opportunity to explore new recipe. This recipe was shared by my niece, by Chef John from allrecipes.
A simple recipe of mixing everything together but be prepared with lots and lots of cutting.
Ingredients:
- 300g cherry tomatoes, diced
I used mix of orange and red colours of cherry tomatoes to add some colours t
Use small serrated knife to cut cherry tomatoes into small dice pieces. Let it drain over strainer to remove liquid from cut tomatoes.
Onion, minced finely. 1/2 cup.
I couldn’t find jalapeno and serrano chili pepper in both of the groceries shops that I went.
Using normal green chili and Korean Cheongyang pepper that I have at home
Minced finely.
Add 2 cloves of garlic mince.
Pour 2 tbsp of lime juice over the top.
Stir in dried oregano, cayenne, pepper, salt and sugar

Just learned that Cilantro is also called Chinese parsley or Coriander.
Chop finely Cilantro leaves.

This salsa goes so well with Tortilla chips
