around makati and now spreading all over the provinces, the new fad for street food is the calamares. maybe the yuppies of the makati district are fed up with the squid balls on the streets. they might be going into real meat to bite into.
the cart vendor told me that the squid are all imported. hmm... i wonder getting them from the pacific ocean is considered imported... or it's just a trick for me to be convinced that he's using quality squid.
anywayz, the squid is tender. i know there is a big squid variety here called "lumot" that even if you grill or fry more than what is needed, it would still remain tender. but the vendor still insists that it is not the local variety "lumot".
well, squid is simply dredged in flour with salt and pepper. maybe, tons of msg is added and was hidden within the flour mixture... but i can't tell.
you have the free will to select the squid part you like. definitely, go for the big parts. a small plastic cup is used for you to put the squid into. you then generously drench your calamares with the pink colored vinegar.
this is a nice alternate for a noontime snack as you get 3 pieces for 10 pesos or 7 pieces for 20 pesos.
