If there’s one thing I love most about the Philippines other than the joyful and hardworking attributes and their passion for karaoke, is the food. This might be biased coming from a Filipino but there’s nothing that can beat the taste of Filipino dishes. There are various foods out there but here is my favorite! 

This dish is a Filipino dish that translates to “eggplant omelette,” and it only requires eggplants, eggs, salt, and anywhere to fry it. Even if you’re not a big fan of eggplants, this might change your perspective on eggplants. The steps to making it is without a doubt really simple! First of all, you need eggplants, obviously. Any type of eggplants work, but the preferred one is Japanese eggplant! Poke holes on the eggplant so your kitchen doesn’t end up a mess.  Next step: fry it. This is typically done over a grill, but you can use a stove, or an airfyer even. Fry them evenly on both sides and once it is grilled, the skin of the eggplant should come off easily by prying it off with a fork or with your hands! Make sure not to take off the stem!! After the eggplant is skinned, beat 2 eggs and you should use the stem as a handle for the eggplant, and smash the eggplant in the beaten eggs. Once that’s that, fry it in a pan with oil and once it’s fully cooked, you’re done! Personally, it’s tastes best with rice and banana ketchup with it. If you haven’t give this a go you should definitely try it!
