Crispy Squid with Garlic Mayonnaise {from Nigella Express}

To be honest, there’s nothing really special about squid on its own (sorry squid lovers, it’s true!). As you all will agree that squid itself is pretty tasteless. The texture will get worse if you add time and pressure when cooking it too! It became chewy and  rubbery… seriously make your jaw muscle developed (a definite no no to the shape of my face!).

Despite my minor whinge about the squid above, I still love’em (speaking about true love eh? lol). I love barbecue squid after they are marinated with garlic, lemon and salt. I love when they are curried or cooked in my favourite sambal sauce. I love when they stuffed with meat fillings and then cooked in soup (okay, it’s sounds unusual but trust me, it’s a lovely dish). Among the various ways you can turn squid into delicious dishes, my absolute favourite is when they are deep fried, prefereably lightly battered. You gotta admit that anything deep fried is a crowd pleaser. However I don’t know how I feel about deep fried bubble gum though.

Cider Apple Chicken with Mushroom Sauce & Oz’s Messy Meal Family

Sponsored By Nuffnang

As part of the Finish Quantum We Love Messy Meals campaign, I’ve been experimenting with some of my favourite messy meals. I know it’s rare that we put together the word “favourite” and “messy” in the same sentence.

However,  it’s not all bad news if you make a mess out of your kitchen, dining room or wherever you have your meals as Finish is on the hunt to find Australia’s messiest meal family who can put Finish Quantum to the ultimate test.

Seriously, it’s high time we get rewarded to be messy, ha!

So before you start organising food fight party instead of a Halloween party, you gotta know what you’re in for.

The winning family will earn themselves $25,000 and star in the next Quantum Finish TV ad. I must say the prizes are pretty irresistable and messy meals have never sounded better!
