The Purple Thing in Mum’s Garden

Guess what’s this? Eggplant - they call it. Before this I did not know what this veggie was called. I used to call it as “purple thing”, barely know that Chinese people name it as “茄子” (Qie-Zi). Well, my parents like it but I do not. It tastes YUCK to me. My mum likes to put it on the menu.

When I was a little girl, my parents always liked to put that sticky thing on my plate and I just wanted to dump it into the bin. If I did that, my mum would definitely give me a total rocket (I knew that because I had many times before and finally end up with more on my plate).

Anyhow, this plant is rich in some kind of nutrition value and it is ideal for maintaining optimum health. Also, it’s a great weapon for whoever wishes to get a weight loss too. Ha.
