My Idea of Home-Cooked Lunch

This was lunch for today.

I have decided to turn over a new leaf and lead a healthier lifestyle; hence I've been trying to eat healthy for the past 24 hours. Fine, it isn't long but hey, at least I'm still on it! By eating healthy, I do not mean I am doing the whole no carb. regime. I still take carbs but just less; mostly at breakfast, a bit at lunch and minimal at dinner. I was in the mood to whip up my own lunch today and since there were ingredients available (the benefit of having family members who cook daily, unlike slackers like me), I threw a few things together: Romaine lettuce (I THINK they are Romaine), tomatoes, cucumber and 2 eggs and voila, I have a salad! Took me about 45 minutes to finish preparing the salad because I had a last-minute inspiration to throw in some steamed chicken and prawns. It was nice and very filling. Would be perfect if I had some cherry tomatoes, plain yogurt and some nuts in the salad but I guess whatever I had was also good enough. So contrary to what we usually think or believe (that "Salad chiak beh pa leh!"), they can be very filling and satisfying to your tummy. What are you waiting for? Go make a salad today! ;)
