Saw these small and very fresh squids at the market I used to frequent. I stood in front of the stall and stared earnestly at the squids, I was fighting an internal struggle. While I have high cholesterol and also under medication, I have not eaten squids or sotong for very long time! But today I decided to give it a go. I calculated in this manner - 500 grams for 4 pax will equate to 125 grams each, I think it is still acceptable. Besides, we also hardly have this food prepared at home.
ABC Sambal Terasi sauce - highly recommended! ^_^
