The medium portion of this dish, at S$33.00, was actually the perfect appetiser for sharing among 6 persons, as recommended by the restaurant manager.

While eggplants (or brinjal for that matter) might not be the most pleasant vegetable to many, the restaurant had prepared the dish well such that when they were fried and caramelised, you practically could not catch the acquired texture easily. In fact, at a point in time, one of my fellow diners who hated eggplants was caught nibbling on the caramelised sticks while (she thought) we were not looking. That was probably how well-received this dish was.
