This dish wasn't on the menu but my friend had a craving and they were more than willing to change the original salt and pepper squid to salted egg squid for us. It's interesting to note that while it seems that the salted egg trend is slowly fading locally, it's still a hot thing in the region.

Very subtle salted egg flavor was my first impression of this. It's not the creamy salted egg taste that one would expect which sometimes might get too jelak, but for this it was more of a touch of the flavour coating the deep fried batter. I personally would prefer it to be slightly stronger, though in this case felt less sinful.
