Freshly Grilled Squid from 夜鱿现烤鱿鱼 @ Liuhe Night Market in Kaohsiung [Taiwan]

I really feel that night markets in cold countries beat those in tropical countries anytime. Like when I strolling along Liuhe Night Market in Kaohsiung; I caught strong whiffs of seafood goodness that totally whet my appetite in the cool climate! 

Following the aroma, I found a gentleman using a griddle to flatten and grill a large piece of squid. With the sizzles and warm smoke emitting from the pan, I swallowed my saliva and proceeded to order a serving after the boss kindly offered a sample! So kind...

Using a "new" squid, here's my order, cut into shoestring form. Just wondering, would I gain better satisfaction without it being cut? One whole piece, slowly chomped and chewed into bits and pieces!

Placed into a bag; we were asked if we would like to top up NT$50 for an extra 50%. Feeling this would be exceptionally good, we agreed without any hesitation! 

Given that it was served freshly grilled, the pack was all steamed up, doubling up as a hand warmer in the cold weather! But no, my purpose of purchase would be to eat the thick strings of squid! 

So how they fare?! As good as the unforgettable ones from Jeju
; albeit warmer! Loving the natural sweetness without any seasoning and it's like having thick and chewy (yet not rubbery) crab meat. Yummy!
