Tere's Eging Adventure: Prologue *Update 04 August 2009*
I've been busy working and catching Squids instead of fishes. Watch out for this space for some action.
Introduction
The Tackles
The Rods
Manufacturer: Olympic (Graphiteleader)
Model: Calamaretti Nuovo GONCS-862M
Length: 8'6"
Line: PE0.4-1.2
Egi Size: 2.0-3.5
Rod Self Weight: 108gm
Comments: Very light Eging Rod good for Egi 3.0, sensitive rod. Nice backbone. Price in Singapore is not for the faint hearted. My second Eging Rod.
Manufacturer: Majorcraft
Model: Crostage CRS-832EL
Length: 8'3"
Line: PE0.6-1.5
Egi Size:MAX 3.5
Comments: Whippy rod EL, good for Egi 2.5, makes the squids feel huge. My first Eging Rod hand carried back to Singapore by my mate Eric.
The Reel
Manufacturer: Shimano
Model: Sephia CI4 C3000S
Recommended Drag: 3.5kg
Max Drag: 10kg
Line Capacity: PE0.6-200、PE0.8-150、PE1-110
Reel Self Weight: 190gm
Comments: Light 3000 sized reel, Made In Japan, Feels really nice using the reel. Nihon made is Nihon made. My first Nihon Made Spinning Reel. Very sweet. Next ... Daiwa Exist perhaps.
The Line
Manufacturer: Toray
Model: Super Strong PE
Line Thickness: PE0.8
Length: 100m
The Results
The Injury
Recent projects and etc requires carrying of heavy stuffs. As a result, my wrist got injured. The injury was further aggrivated by squid jigging. So my girlfriend suggested that I seek treatment from my TCM Doctor, so here's my hand poked by my most trusted medical professor from Shanghai.
The Recipe Dump

Everyone tells me that Cuttlefish a.k.a Bak Dao is very rubbery expecially when overcooked.
Last week I specially went for only Cuttlefish to prove that everyone is wrong.
Upon getting 3 medium sized Cuttlefish, I carefully cut them open to investigate. As such, I found out that the outer skin of the Cuttlefish is thicker and higher in tensile strength as compared to the Squids.
Thus with my culinary know how, I carefully removed the outer skin and cut the flesh into pieces. It resembles Abalone.
I braised the cuttlefish till I can poke the chopstick through it. Then I tried. It really tasted like Abalone! No kidding. Will be making it soon for my girlfriend to sample.

Re: Tere's Eging Adventure: Prologue
When you say lift heavy stuff, you don't mean bags and bags of squid do you? Very nice presentation on your setup, and showing it with good results. Yes, if bak dao is cooked the simple and normal way, i.e. steamed or boiled and is overcooked, it tends to be very rubbery. Cuttlefishes are great if properly prepared (as in your case) but I believe you took a lot of time braising it ya. I am pretty sure it was well worth it too, you must show us the dish and how it is made step by step. And by that I mean a video.
