Let me introduce my favourite Croatian dish - the famous Octopus Salad. You can get this dish in almost any Croatian seafood restaurants. It is prepared mediterranean style... Blanched octopus accompanied by potatoes, tomatoes or peppers. Salt and pepper for seasoning. And a generous drizzle of good ol' Olive Oil. Not forgetting a handful of chopped Parsley for decoration (a la Mediterranean). Simply wonderful!
I recalled the only times I get to see any octopus (just the tentacle) in Singapore were in Japanese supermarket. Each section of the tentacle for a whopping S$10!
Octopus has just a rich taste. I love it for its chewiness which no squid or cuttlefish can replace! Cooked squids are usually tasteless. But for octopus, it retains its memory of being part of the sea family.
Can't till the next time we get that at home again!

Oh! There are octopuses in Perak, Malaysia. But we don't eat it this way, just dipped in chilli sauce and they taste great!
Yeah but we realised a lot of stuff that you have in Malaysia are not exported to SG! *boo hoo hoo* :(
