Indonesian Grilled SquidsI have taken so many pictures lately, but didn’t have time to post them on blogspot. Challenging my self to 365 days project is what I have been doing. This project is to explore more your photography skill by doing things that we don’t like. 11-tips-to-succeed-with-a-photo365-project is a good source for your inspiration. You may take a peak to my 365 days project set on flickr as well.

Speaking about another picture that I haven’t post, Cumi Bakar Kecap or Indonesian Grilled Squids with Sweet Soy Sauce is one of them.

The simplest one is using kecap manis, lime juice and margarine. Margarine is widely used in Indonesia for grilling and baking. Cumi Bakar Kecap is easy to make and has various recipes on the internet. The key is kecap manis. We, Indonesians love our kecap manis [pronounced: ketchup MAH-nees] or known as sweet soy sauce. We apply kecap manis for almost everything, stir fry, grill, etc.

See how my recipe is also different…
