Yours truely still having packs of dates leftover from Zulhijjah 10 days fasting plus packs sent by someone in Makkah thru my aunt when she's back from hajj last month. There was times when we did not have dates on the shelves as of nowadays, my mom used to keep stock from Ramadhan to last for few months.

Black Pepper Squid

Image
( Originally Amy Beh's in grilling method and fewer ingredients. I'd improvised into my own taste bud) 1 kg large squid (app. 6-8 inches long) 5 cloves garlic - crunched finely 2 tbsp light soy sauce 1 tsp dark soy sauce 1 tbsp black pepper corn - pound finely salt , light brown sugar 3 tbsp honey 1 lime - squeezed for juice red chilly or capsicum- sliced thinly Garnishing: green union & parsley - shredded Cut squid into 2. Use sharp scissors to cut each edges at interval of 1cm - this help each pieces to open up like flower. Season and marinate squid with all ingredients for 5 minutes. Heat the non-grease pan, work with big fire. Put in squid.( I cook the tentacle first, as it's easier to work on the flower later. Dish out cooked tentacles then put in the slices into hot pan). Stir evenly and turn squids to have the edges down so good petals can form up better flower. Season to your taste and ready to serve.
