Oh I really do hate Paul the Octopus now. Why did he predicted Spain to win when he currently resides in Germany? Speaking of loyalty much. Hmm, apparently, not only human change sides, animals too.
Anyway I told my fellow friends on Facebook, if his prediction was correct, today I am going to have Octopus sushi for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Eat all his relatives and wait for PETA to send me a court sepina for the extinction of Octopus-es.
But to come and think of it, octopus sushi sucks. Besides the ones they're selling in Sushi King probably was flown from overseas for weeks, hence the rubber-like taste. So this morning I remembered a Squid dish my mother used to cook.
I call it "Sotong Sumbat Pulut" (Stuffed Squid with Glutinous Rice / Glutinous Rice Stuffed Squid). Some called it "Ketupat Sotong". Trust me, you won't find this selling in any restaurant, even on special occasions like Raya, and so forth. I trust some of you never heard or come across this either.
The process of cooking it takes time, need to clean the squids, buy coconut milk, glutinous rice, actually took more than an hour to cook it if I'm not mistaken. But it only takes minutes to gobble it down.
Recipe? If you could click through your way to my blog, I think you could search up the recipe as well.
Yes, that explains why my mum cook it when she feels like it. When she's in a good mood to mess up the kitchen or better still when we have extra squids in the fridge.
This is how it looks like before you put it in the steamer.
After an hour or so...
Voila, and gulp and nyum nyum nyum. Mmmm...good.
Notice the toothpicks like stick at the end of the squid opening? You're not suppose to eat that in case you're wondering. The sticks were pinned in to make sure the glutinous rice doesn't come out of the squid.
It's delicious, and you just eat it just like that. Without any extra sauce or food to accompany it with. It's a Malay version of snack appetizers.
Okay enough of food talking. Back to soccer.
Congratulations to Spain for making it to the finals, it was a fair game. To my German boys, there's always another World Cup. Maybe it's not your year this time, cliche as it may sound better luck next time.
I actually stayed up and watched the whole game. Accompanied with a cup of coffee, my cat and my mobile phone. Thank you to all my friends who wasted their credits in texting me through-out the game, and bombarded me an hour after the game ended, updating/reminding me that my favourite team lost it to the telenovela boys.
Congratulations to German too, for making it to the semi-final. At least you did your country proud and Hitler is smiling in his grave now watching each game live in HD.
That's the end of my World Cup support this year.
Uruguay versus Germany?
I still root for Germany although some said winning 3rd place means nothing. Well at least numbered compared to nothing.
Happy upcoming weekend Loves.
Sidenotes:
I'm over the whole staying up for World Cup already, now it's back to "Twilight Saga : Eclipse" mania.
Just for laugh, an excerpt of vampire discussion with my friend.
