Squid Salad






































These pictures are taken by camera phone.

Salad is one of my favorite must-haves especially when eating out in restaurants. I will always check out the Caesar Salad.

However, the salad dish we are talking about here is a Thai-style salad known as kerabu. Kerabu has a much more distinctive taste i.e. spicy & sourish. The main ingredients varies e.g. it can be chicken, seafood or just fruits.

As usual, Thais like their cooking with lots of chilly and at the same time sourish. It is also not unusual to find lots of Basil leaves or usage of it in Thai cooking. I personally like the aroma of basil leaf. So, for our home-made Kerabu Squid, lots of fresh basil leaves is used to create that pungent taste ala Thai.
