We did a chichen green curry and they gave us a sample of these eggplants. If for any chance anyone of you goes to Bangkok, try to enroll in Bai Pai's Cooking School for their cooking class.You can visit their website www.baipai.com.Highly recommendable, I paid B1,400 for a half day class. They even pick you up in your hotel.They do demos, food tasting and each one of you gets to cook all the dishes for the class. I'm not paid for this just wanted to share you the wonderful experience i had there. Hope these eggplants will be on a regular basis in Salcedo market.Thanks for the info.

When I was told they were indeed eggplants by former Thai colleagues, I was doubtful and they were surprised I didn't know. Glad these are already available in Manila. Thank you for your very informative posts, especially on produce. Keep them coming, please. That’s right, these tiny eggplants are an essential ingredient in authentic Thai curries.
