I am not fond of salads because most of the time, they serve it with a dressing that uses mayonnaise (which I dislike) or something similar. That said, sometimes it is nice to try something different.
This recipe for a Vietnamese-Style Chicken Salad comes from Marions’ Kitchen. She has a video of how she made the salad, as well as the detailed recipe, which is very important for people like me who are more cookbook cooks than instinctive chefs.
This was easy to make and a hit with the family. I will definitely make this again. Thank you, Marion, for the recipe.
I did make a few changes to the recipe, mainly because I have family members who don’t like spicy food. I also prefer lettuce to cabbage in my salads so I switched that out.
Here’s the adjusted recipe, if you want to replicate what I did:
2cupsshredded cooked chicken I used air-fried chicken thighs
1small carrot
1/2head finely shredded lettuce
1/2small red onionabout 1/4 if big onions are all you have
1/4cupfinely sliced spring onionscallions
1/2cupmint leaves
1/4cuproasted peanuts
Dressing
1/4cuphoney
2tbspwhite vinegar I used white rice wine vinegar
2tbspfish sauce
Crispy lumpia noodles
6pcs lumpia wrapper cut into strips
Instructions
For the dressing, mix all the ingredients together. Set aside until ready to serve.
To make the crispy wonton noodles, heat a small saucepan of oil over high heat. When the oil is hot, add the noodles and cook for a minute or until golden and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel. The noodles will crisp up even more as they cool.
Place the chicken, carrot, lettuce, onion, spring onion, and mint, in a large bowl.
Chop up the peanuts. I used a chopper but you can use a mortar and pestle too. Just make sure you don't chop too fine. Add these to the bowl with the chicken also.
Pour the dressing and mix until well combined. Pile onto a serving plate. Use your fingers to crush the crispy wonton noodles over the top. Serve immediately.
Changes from the original recipe:
The original recipe used cabbage. The lettuce worked better for me because I like my cabbage cooked.
She also included some chilies and shallots. These felt more optional to me but do try it the way she recommended.
The secret to youthful, glowing skin is really no big secret. Locking in moisture or keeping your skin hydrated is key in maintaining that dewy, soft, and young-looking complexion. This, of course, is easier said than done. Drinking enough water, following a specific skincare routine, and using the right products are just some of the ways to care for your skin and keep it hydrated.
Ever Organics, the effective and affordable skincare line formulated with organic-based key ingredients, shares these tips to help keep your skin moisturized every day.
Skip the long, steamy showers.
Hot showers and washing your face with warm water can be very relaxing and refreshing. But did you know that long, hot showers can actually strip your skin of moisture, leaving it feeling dry and rough? Instead of using hot water to bathe or wash your face, use lukewarm water instead—and make sure to apply moisturizer while your skin is still wet post-shower.
Drink an adequate amount of water.
From helping your skin maintain elasticity, to reducing fine lines and wrinkles, drinking lots of water can do amazing things to your skin and your overall health as well. As recommended, drinking at least 8 glasses of water per day is the best and most natural way to achieve that glowing, dewy complexion.
Pat your face dry after cleansing.
Another simple way to retain your skin’s smooth texture is to change how you dry your skin after cleansing. Instead of rubbing your face dry, try gently patting your face using a soft towel to absorb the water without irritating your skin. Your skin will definitely thank you for this!
Use hydrating skincare products.
Products that penetrate through your skin and deliver water are vital, especially if you have dehydrated skin. A good example of this is Ever Organics’ Tomato Glass Skin Gel Lotion.
This gel lotion is infused with 95% tomato extract that brightens and revitalizes dry or irritated skin and aids in maintaining a healthy and youthful glow to the skin. Not only that, but this gel lotion also contains Lotus Flower extract that has natural anti-aging benefits and Centella Asiatica Extract which is a rich source of amino acids and is a good hydrating ingredient to soothe upset or compromised skin. It is also formulated with Green Tea and Licorice Root extracts to help prevent acne, itching, irritation, and redness.
We all have non-negotiable goals in life. These are goals you can’t compromise on, and they may range from tangibles like owning a car or house to non-tangibles like getting a quality education or enjoying a stress-free retirement. Whether big or small, these goals require a lot of work and commitment to achieve. To help you stay on track with your non-negotiable goals, AXA Philippines, one of the country’s leading insurance providers, shares some simple tips you can follow:
List down your non-negotiable goals and their target date.
To help you stay on track with your non-negotiable goals, it’s a good idea to write them down. It may seem deceptively simple, but experts have considered this to be very effective in achieving your ambitions. For each goal, be sure to add your reasoning, a game plan, and a timeline of when you want to accomplish them. This will help boost your motivation and help you stay focused. For example, if you’re planning to build a substantial amount for an emergency fund, know how much you want to set aside and for how long in order to reach your desired amount.
Don’t compare your progress to others.
Each person has his or her own unique journey. So when it comes to fulfilling your goals, avoid making comparisons because that might only discourage you, especially when you feel someone has accomplished more. Trust your own pace and strive to stay focused on how you can improve yourself. Also, take valuable lessons from other people’s life experiences, such as TED Talk speakers, and apply them to your own journey if possible.
Follow through.
The highest level of integrity is achieved when you follow through with what you say you’re going to do. This is how successful people attract big opportunities — people trust that they’ll keep their word. But as you follow through on your promise to others, you must also stay true to the commitments you made to yourself. If you’re constantly putting off all your life goals, you’ll never bring them to fruition. Stick to what you say you’re going to do — pursue your goals, dreams, and ideas!
Prioritize well.
Too often, we are quick to abandon our goals and responsibilities to tend to other people’s needs. But remember, your dreams and goals are your own and no one can accomplish them but you. This means setting boundaries and knowing when to say yes and when to say no so you’re not constantly allowing others to lose sight of your own priorities. It’s good to help others, but be sure to put yourself first!
Monitor your progress.
When it comes to monitoring your goals, planning and organizing your time is key. Have a notebook or a planner ready to list down your specific goals and be sure to tick off everything you have achieved so far. Tracking what you have accomplished is a big part of keeping your confidence and motivation high. Don’t forget to celebrate your accomplishments, too!

Amid the ‘new normal,’ most car owners use their vehicles less frequently. Except for frontline workers, the public is encouraged to go out only when necessary to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Despite this, Prestone, a proven and trusted quality brand of Auto Care fluids since 1927, reminds motorists to religiously check their vehicles and go for annual preventive maintenance to avoid the hassle of a car breakdown when they return on the road.
According to Prestone Philippines, car owners need to focus on two frequently overlooked fluids—the Automatic Transmission and Power Steering Fluids.
Shifting With Ease
The Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) is an essential fluid that lubricates the bearings and metal parts inside a car’s automatic gearbox. It also keeps them from grinding down as they move.
Car owners need to regularly maintain their vehicle’s ATF since it not only lubricates the moving parts but also provides hydraulic pressure and friction to make the internal parts work. Transmission fluid in both manual and automatic transmissions also helps to keep the transmission cool. Since most cars today use AT transmissions, keeping tabs on them is vital since it is more expensive to repair than manual transmission cars.
Additionally, Prestone said that using auto transmission fluids provide the necessary power for the demands of the city or highway. Prestone’s Auto Transmission Fluid (ATF) helps delay and, at its best, eliminate the need for costly repairs with cracked and dry seals conditioning and its stop leak technology. In addition, its high and low-temperature friction characteristics provide smooth shifting under extreme conditions, meeting the needs of various cars.
Turning With Ease
Meanwhile, Power Steering Fluid (PSF) is a kind of hydraulic fluid transferring power in modern vehicles with power steering. As a vital part of your steering system, power steering fluid allows drivers to turn the steering wheel smoothly. The use of PSF varies depending on the car with some requiring ATF to come along with it.
Unfortunately, topping up PSF is typically not included in regular maintenance but it still needs to be maintained to prevent grit and sludge from accumulating and further getting into the car’s pinion seals and rack, consequently destroying it. Prestone highly recommends that car owners periodically change their car’s PSF, using high-quality fluids and consulting expert mechanics to maintain it.
The Prestone Power Steering Fluid protects pumps against pump breakdown caused by wear, oxidation, and foaming through its stop leak technology. As a result, it lessens pump squealing and aid in smooth power steering operation. It also pours at sub-zero temperatures to help assure cold weather steering performance.
As a final reminder, car owners must stay cautious against counterfeit products sold in the market today, especially Brake Fluid. Using fake products can cause malfunctions or permanently damage various parts of your vehicle, leading to a car breakdown, accidents, or engine replacement.
Watch out for sellers offering products that come from unknown sources and with suspicious prices and discounts. To know its authenticity, check the product’s details, look for imperfections, and ensure it has a PS mark or ICC stickers issued by the Philippine Bureau of Product Standards.

Top each piece of bread with a scoop of the tuna mixture.
Tuna and Corn Chowder
I love chowders. A chowder is a very heavy, filling soup. Tuna and corn chowder is a healthy alternative and is not difficult to make. I am certainly making this over the holy week.
A chowder is a heavy, cream-based soup! On its own, it is quite filling.
