404. A Nice Lunch

My soupy dish today was 'Sayur Cangkok Manis, Kobis and Karet Masak Lemak'. All vegetables... :)

Hubby can't eat without something soupy so since I have some leftover cabbage and one carrot in the fridge, I decided to mix in some sayur Cangkok (cangkor) manis as well.

Early this morning a fisherman friend gave hubby some 1 1/2 kilo of very fresh squids (sotong). I didn't want to keep it too long in the fridge so I cooked it immediately. But myyy...don't I hate cleaning these squids, all the ink also came out ha ha...
