• Plamuk pat phet - Squid stir fry red curry

• Sambal goreng cumi - Fried dried squid

  I have always thought, that dried meat is a way of its conservation and that it is eaten as it is, meaning dried. In Indonesia I found out, that it is consumed usually cooked. They simply use it like any other fresh meat. They dry usually various kinds of fish and seafood like squid or octopus.

• Summer squid salad

  We were riding motorbike on the beach, got a fresh squid from fishermen, just from the boat, asked one nice lady by the road to make it for us. And she made such an amazing and refreshing salad. Perfect food for summer heats.

• Yum woon sen - Thai glass noodle salad with squid and prawns

  The last meal I had in Thailand before I left. I nearly dropped a tear. This time surprisingly not because of the spiciness, the late afternoon simply felt so good. The sun was setting slowly and its rays were getting through the window of a small street restaurant. A very peaceful place. Thailand knows how to say good bye. And this amazing refreshing salad was another proof of it too :)
