Another review on canned food.
First on the safety of canned food:
Never use foods from containers with these spoilage warning signs: loose or bulging lids on jars; bulging, leaking or badly dented cans (especially along the top, side and bottom seams), or foods with a foul odor.
Always heat the food well before serving. Always choose to eat fresh food, when available.

I am very wary of canned seafood because they are usually too salty and filled with lots of ‘unidentifiable’ black thingie. However, this one has clean pieces of squids minus the black guts and skin.
A can costs less than RM3 and can serves three of us (my hubby, son and I).
My mom used to buy sotong masak hitam in can. For the life of me, I could not remember what brand it was. It had been a very long while since I ate canned sotong. This one is good eh kak lilian? Nak kena pi cari la weekend nanti 🙂
