Tortilla & Salad - where to find?

KSN was asking me about where to find the tortilla that I've been eating.

I first got this at Cold Storage at BJ, but I can no longer find them...maybe have to try the atas supermaket. These wholemeal tortillas are really nice to eat and the texture didn't become dry after having kept them in the fridge.


I like their extra large size which means I can eat just one piece of tortilla. It's the only one that comes in a proper resealable bag.

Next, I had to settle for this white flour tortilla which is common in CS and some outlets of the "aunty lucy" mart. They were salty, dry and breaks/tears easily (ref to photos of broken salmon wraps), and has a funny type of so-called "resealable bag"... by giving you a sticker which CAN'T be resealed again and again...


I will try not to buy them again if I can help it. Heck, I may even settle for the less palatable chappati (also in packet form) instead.

Then I found these house-brand wholemeal ones at this hypermart...yet to try them.



These wraps and pitas (below) are quite common at certain CS and AL outlets. I saw them at Heartland Mall's CS last Friday night. I think I've tried the pita before and it was alright.



Saw this at HM last Friday night too...



I buy this 250g pack of salad leaves (with butterhead, curly red Lollo Roso lettuce, radichio & endive) regularly, coz they are already in bite size, so I presume no need to wash (I lazy). I will also buy the usual whole head of butterhead lettuce, and also not wash them... just eat!



For something more nutritious (darker coloureds are usually better) and exciting, one can try the baby spinach leaves and wild rocket (this wild one is very bitter, be warned!) from CS or Carrefour.


Some CS outlets also have the beautiful oak leaf lettuce and curly lettuce from Cameron Highlands, but I've yet to try them. I almost did try, but those 3 packs left on the shelf didn't look fresh today.


Salad of baby spinach leaves, (bitter) wild rocket, romaine & butterhead lettuce, celery, alfafa sprouts and white fish tuna (canned with chilli padi).

Here's to good health!

Salmon Tortilla & Green Salad

My Dinner tonight - a very easy to make tortilla wrap, which requires no cooking.


Take leftover canned salmon, add a bit of lemon juice & black pepper and mix well.

I didn't add salt as the salmon was already salty since it came in a can of brine (made of spring water). Can add a little bit of chopped fresh dill, if available.


Place a piece of lettuce on tortilla, leaving about half an inch of border around.

I'm using mini-Romaine lettuce (from M'sia), which can taste a wee bit bitter when eaten raw.


Spread a thin layer of salmon on the lettuce leaf, but I spread too much.


Roll up the tortilla firmly.

Slice into half and eat!


There is a generous amount of salmon, so it ended up tasting a wee bit salty. Can counteract this by wrapping another piece of lettuce over the tortilla roll and eat.

There was also a green salad, before adding dressing.



I luv these alfafa sprouts, although they tend to absorb quite a lot of the dressing. :P


They are living sprouts and can be kept in the fridge for a few days.

Edited - Ps: I forgot to add 1 tsp of mayo into the salmon mix.

Answer to "mystery food" post

It does look like luncheon meat eh? Or even some kind of canned pet food.



It's actually this!



Mexican style "refried beans", no meat at all.



Beans were once regarded as the perfect food, coz they contain most of the protein groups, without having to resort to a meat diet.

Fun wraps - Tortilla

These tortillas were fun to make and nice to eat. Just add whatever ingredients one fancy or it can be made into a vegetarian version.

The best thing is one tortilla is enough to fill me up without making me too full and yet last me till bedtime.

The ingredients:



Tortilla which is low in fat, some cucumber or salad leaves, avocado, tomatoes, pineapple, salsa sauce and a protein (roasted chicken in this case).



Tuesday's dinner:



Topped with Japanese mayo



Anyhow wrapped, as long as can fit inside the mouth can already!



The first batch didn't taste shiok, coz I didn't use the salsa sauce and I forgot to add sweet onions!



On Wed, I used salsa as a base, and added cheese - another ingredient I forgot to add the night before!



Put on the sliced onion, pile on the leftover ingredients, and viola!



The wrapping got worse and the whole thing is too skinny, i.e. can add more ingredients for one whole tortilla. Nevertheless, it tasted much, much better and got "kick" this time.

I guess I will be eating this for a while whenever I don't know what to have for dinner.

Yummy!
