Bicol Express.....Veggy Style!

One of my favorite dish is that with coconut milk, and this dish is my top 1, not just because it is very rich in flavor but also because I had the chance to experiment it with a vegetable and that is Eggplant.


I have always love the taste of eggplant, may it be fried with scrambled egg or just simply fried or roasted.


But I want to share this dish I made with eggplant and made my coconut milk dishes much better or should I say guilt-free!
