Aubergine, eggplant, brinjal, whatever you call it, they all refer to the same vegetable. I have grown to love this vegetable after realising how versatile it can be used in cooking. It tastes wonderful in the French ratatouille, roasted, mashed and made into dips, seasoned and grilled over charcoal, battered and deep-fried into Japanese tempura, braised, stuffed in the Malaysian Yong Tau Fu and the list goes on.

Frankly, I don’t fancy fast food. They may taste good but does a lot of harm to our body system in a long run. Why do you think there are so many obese children nowadays? If we can let our children have it their way with food, I am very sure majority of them will end up choosing the fast and unhealthy version. That is why, we as parents must instill in them a healthy lifestyle which consists of healthy food, proper exercise, discipline etc … the list goes on.
