Additional of grilled prawn.....

Love at the 1st sight....How much me&daddy love 'sotong bakar'. That's why I fall in love when saw Tes grilled squid. With the nice photo i guess make me adore her recipe very much. I normally grilled the squids & dipped it with 'air asam'. Daddy really love it (beside kari ikan of course) & that's make me keen to prepare the menu again & again. Tq Tes for this simply lovely recipe. I will keep it as one of our favorite menu. So, u gal!!! no harm to try. SIMPLY DELICIOUS

Postmortem:

I can say really burst ur appetite. The sauce also bring me back to my old time when my eldest sister (klong) used to prepare this 'cili cuka' for our 'keropok ikan' dipping. The different i guess only the color & the way they prepared it. My klong just pour vinegar to the pounded cili merah+garlic, beside adding a lots of sugar, while Tes cooked the sauce + added some fish sauce. The taste i could say plus minus.........i simply love it!!!
