Obsession of Sotong Bakar

Hmmm...sedap!!! Delicious!!...Yum, yum....hingga menjilat jari....:)

You wonder what ? It is object of my obsession (including someone else, you know who you are)...It is SOTONG BAKAR!!

It is something that I looked forward to eating whenever I am in Terengganu (other than at Zie's corner) . Who does not know what Zie's corner, please, you are invited to do so at Kuala Terengganu to check it out! They have the best pancake in town of KT.

I remembered those days when there were 5 of us in SEV. Five including Fakha, myself, Shamsul, Diana and Maryam. During those heydays of initial recruitment for SPIKE program in Terengganu, Siti Maryam would be the one who volunteers to accompany me. Other than work, she jumps to the chance of having the opportunity to eat her favourite food...

Our usual itinerary of the day whenever we are in KT, the both of us will be doing work from early the morning up till around 2++pm ie after lunch hour of government officers. Then, it is time for both of us.

Lunch was a feast for both of us! We both love simple foods. So, we either end up at Mat Binjai Restaurant or some gerai by the roadside, to have lunch. Menu of choice would be ulam and sotong bakar. Sotong bakar is a must! The succulent meat of the sotong (fresh from the sea) was a pleasure indeed and not forgotten whenever you eat the sotong bakar, they should be coupled with sambal belacan or budu!!!...hehehe...for those who does not eat budu...what a waste!! You missed out an 'adventure' in life! Never mind what Shamsul told you that if you were to see how budu is made, you would not touch the stuff. (Bro, jangan marah! We only live once. Hence, we must try everything (tolak batu, kayu and benda2 haram)).

So, in my recent trip to KT, sotong bakar was my 'staple' diet once again....So divine!!

Ija....I know you are satisfied this time around....hehehe....

Aida, you mentioned about Maryam ni, I kind of miss the old team. If only the situations were better before, she might still be with us and enjoying the ocasional Sotong Bakar treat...

Ija, it was a pleasure buying lunch. So, yang lain2, kita makan kat KL. Tini is arranging the lunch right??? So where and when will this month's lunch be. Oh ya, one more thing...Shariff, please collect RM 5 from those that have failed to post at least 2 postings last week. Refer to Reza's email report.
