Yesterday evening when my husband walked into the kitchen and saw what I've cooked for dinner. This is what he said, "Wah! Chao you yu ah." Why is the exclamation? 'cos he just came back from finishing his job and need to look for a nice one. Maybe you'll be wondering why, if you're a westerner. As for the Chinese, fried squid literally means 'gotten fired'. If you hear your Chinese friend saying that he just got a plate of fried squid that means he got fired from his job. When I was cooking this dish, the thought didn't come to my mind until heard my husband's exclamation. What a coincident.
