Asian inspired Chicken Salad Bowl or what I like to call as Salad Terjun

Asian inspired Chicken Salad Bowl or what I like to call as Salad Terjun A quick understanding with the word “ Terjun ”. It means, Jump in Malay. I like to use it because I don’t have a recipe to follow. I literally use what I have, can find and think I can add-in to make the meal complete. So, it is safe to say, I used Terjun recipe a lot. This particular salad is perfect for when you want to clean off your veges leftover in your fridge. The other night, both me and my husband want to have something easy, quick and simple. First thing came to our head is Burger King or Take Away Kebab Pizza. But, neither of them what we would want to eat. So, I went and look into our fridge. Everything is leftover. My first thought was to make fried rice. But I don’t feel like eating rice. I took out all the leftover and thought of salad with Asian twist. Anyway, what I used in this bowl are: Mix Spring Salads Cherry Tomatoes A handful of Bean Sprouts Paprika Carrot

Coconut oil is my choice if im out of yogourt at home, sometimes, i skip it all together. But a must have for this mask is Turmeric and Honey.
 


Turmeric and Honey. Start with a teaspoon of turmeric then add honey little by little until you get a thick paste.
Turmeric, Honey and Coconut Oil. Start with1 teaspoon of turmeric & 2 drops of coconut oil. Add honey little by little until becoming a paste.




Here i added coconut oil. You can see that the mask is very slippery slide. So do be careful where you sit or stay. Turmeric will stain your fabric.



P/S: To be clear, don't expect a miracle to happen overnight. Many of those that been using turmeric mask claimed that their skin has improved and even stop using foundation in their routine.


How many times a week do i apply?
2 times a week.

Does it stain your face?
Yes.
Your face will have a slight yellow tint. ( Don't worry, it will not last for days)
I realize that by adding coconut oil, the mask is less staining. (but do be careful not to add too much of the coconut oil. Because it does cause the mask to drip)

How do i remove the mask?
Rinse with warm water. Do a circular motion (as how you use your scrubs) it will exfoliates all the dead skin on your face.
If i added coconut oil in my mask, then i will use a face wash to remove excess oil afterwards.

How long?
I leave the mask on for 20-30 minutes.

Do i believe in this mask?
Ofcourse. I wouldnt share it with you if i don't.

Does it work?
Moisturizing- Yes
Dark circle - Yes

How do i feel afterward?
Very well hydrated.

Feel rejuvenated.
Softer skin.
It does make your skin looks glowing.
