  1. Fascinating, I could imagine myself enjoying that. I’ve always been curious… do you travel around Asia everyday? I see foods from all over the place!

  2. They were selling these at about S$5 a squid during a ‘Hokkaido Fair’ at Tampines Mall last month. And I think Medi-Ya stocks them in vacuum packed plastic bags that you had to dunk into boiling water to heat up.
