my fave is a dish from ilocos, which is a specialty of my mom, roasted, then sauteed in a little oil, along with garlic, onion, tomatoes, and fish paste, lastly, mixed with fresh egg when the dish is removed from heat. don’t know the right spelling, sir MM, correct me if I’m wrong, think it’s spelled poqui – poqui, good as accompaniement for some grilled meat or as a bruschetta topping then topped with cheese, hehehehe, can’t wait to ask my mom to cook it again!!!

Tortang talong is my favorite dish made out of eggplant. Grilled one or two until the skin turns black or when it is already easy for you to peel it off, and then dip them in a bowl of seasoned, battered raw eggs (2 pieces of eggs will do). And then fry ’em one by one under medium fire and, voila!

I always crave for this!

Anybody here knows how to fry sliced eggplants the right way? Because when I do, they always shrink and the skin gets rubbery. They’re supposed to be a bit crispy, juicy and resilient. Please help? Thanks a lot.

My favorite vegetable! Torta, steamed/grilled & served with bagoong or in a salad with tomatoes & green mangoes, in kare-kare, eggplant parmigiana or moussaka! *drools*

The white eggplant on the picture is similar to our local eggplant called “inaraw-araw”. I like boiled eggplant especially when it is paired with “bagoong balayan”. Yum yum!!!

I visited a local market in Bangkok last year and I was amazed when I saw the green long eggplants.

I became intrigued how the taste will be so I bought few pieces and cooked it just the way we make our “Tortang Talong” and grilled eggplant salad, it was a fabulous hearty vegetarian meal paired with steamed jasmine rice.
