One of my many childhood favourite dish. Normally my mom do not cook lunch / dinner but she has a few dishes that I love and this is one of them.

Chin's notes:
1. This dish does not have much gravy. 
2. Add some chili flakes if you like them spicy.
3. Squids will release some liquid during the cooking process.
