My grandmother Siew and Aunty Hiong used to plant a few plots of brinjals and ladies' fingers.

However one dish that was truly memorable was her brinjal soup. Plain cut brinjals in a soup of garlic and perhaps a bit of ikan bilis or a bit of ern chow. But as children we could eat almost anything. She was glad that I learned to eat vegetables and especially her brinjals.
Today, we all love brinjals or egg plants, cooked in any way. Each time I see people growing brinjals I would think of Grandfather and the backyard garden that he started when he moved to the big house on the hill in Sg. Merah.
I will try to re-create the Tiong Kung Ping Brinjal Soup soon.....
Mashed Brinjal Soup with Ern Chow
(Steam the brinjals and then mash well, use a bit of oil to stir fry some garlic until aromatic, add a small spoon of ern chow..and add the mashed brinjal...add water. A fragrant Ming Chiang Soup from Fujian)

Madam, I love stir-fried brinjals, and will squeal with delight at the mere sight of the dish on the dining table. I have never had brinjal soup, but I guess it must be a perfect one for hot days, as brinjals have cooling effects. I like them cooked with sambal too, so piquant, whetting the appetite. I can finish two bowls of rice with that. By the way, baked brinjals with cheese is a heavenly dish too.
Thank you Charles for your comments. Really appreciate your contributions. Will try to bake brinjals with cheese one day.
