Brinjal With Kicap Manis & Anchovies

The Peranakan Restaurant Singapore

the fried eggplant sticks at Chengdu will change your mind about brinjal 🍆

@sylchew cos they're the bomb and the entire office loved it (check out the reviews if you haven't 😋) also please delete all my extra comments hahaa 😅

I didn't really like this dish because it was too oily for my liking. Personally i dislike fried brinjal as they tend to soak up a lot of oil. That aside, the brinjal was very soft and covered with a sweet umami soy sauce. The anchovies on top were actually fried mushrooms which was crunchy and fun to eat~😊 but hey if you do not mind brinjal being cooked this way, you might just fall in love with this dish!

The "anchovies" for the vegan version were actually crispy mushrooms! Brinjal were cooked till tender and kecap manis sauce wasn't too overpowering or sweet. I liked this! Goes perfectly with some white rice.

the sambal brinjal was one of my favorite dishes! cooked very well, coated in a flavorful layer of sambal and just the right level of spice. couldn't stop eating it the entire dinner 😋
