This is one of my most favourite vegetables (if cooked well and properly). There were times when I order Yong Tau Foo and the aubergines tasted bland and crunchy, much like I was biting into a soft cucumber. These are the disappointing moments when you realise you can’t have the perfectly cooked aubergines for a meal but still have to finish them. There were times when you see them sliced thinly and nicely, and realise they are soft and mushy when you bite into them. These are the times when you feel like you have loads of gratitude towards the chef, whoever he or she is.
