After having sought the help of some gardening experts from the Facebook gardening groups, my friend and I were ready to harvest our Green and White Brinjals. The next day I visited my friend and she gave me a Brinjal from her harvest to add to the two Brinjals harvested from my garden. The rest of the Brinjals are not ready for harvest yet.
The bigger fruit on the left is from my friend's garden. The 2 smaller fruits are from my own plants.
Just as I was about to cut them up, I remembered I needed to take some photos. Notice the centre fruit? I had just cut off the stalk.
The Brinjals were cut into half lengthwise to reveal the seeds. The 2 bigger fruits were just harvested in time before the seeds started to mature and harden. The smaller one was still tender.

My friend cut her Brinjals crosswise and grilled them. I cut mine to cook with the Okra harvested from my garden together with some winged beans from my friend's garden.
My Home cooked dinner.
I stir fried these mixed veggies with garlic, belacan (shrimp paste), some chili padi from my garden and some fresh prawns. The Brinjals were very sweet and tender but the skin is thicker than the purple long brinjals. I hope to steam the Brinjals from the next harvest.
Fried Fishes without the heads. I don't know the name of these fishes in English but it is known as Chai Yu Zhai in Cantonese.
A quarter of chicken cooked with plum sauce, oyster sauce, garlic, ginger, onions, chili padi and salt & sugar to taste. The above was our Saturday's dinner for 2 person. We finished the plate of mixed veggie but kept the left over of the fishes and chicken for the next day's lunch.
Saturday's sunset.
I took these sunset shots from the front of my house.

DeleteNice! I think it's cool to cook something straight from your garden. That's my life goals. Haha. Honestly, I'm excited to make my own garden and do this.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lux. It is very rewarding to grow edibles in our garden and then watching them grow, harvest and eat them.
Deleteoh so thr skin is harder. eating vegetables from own garden is so much sweeter.
ReplyDeleteI think this will be great for grilling or deep frying.
DeleteAwesome to grow your own veggies... Those are always the best and much better than the ones you have to buy at the store/market..... YUM.... All of your dinners look so delicious. Made me hungry!!!!!! ha
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sun pictures also... AND--those bells are beautiful.
Hugs,
Betsy
Thank you, Betsy. Homegrown always tastes sweeter and fresher. Have a beautiful day!
DeleteBiggest problem with green fruit... difficult to know when to harvest them!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a simple but yummy dinner.
Yes, Stacy. I waited and waited and the fruit still looks green. Good thing I sought the experts' help. Thank you, Stacy and have a wonderful day!
DeleteIt is always a joy to enjoy simple yet delicious home cooked meal. What's more, harvesting the veggie or fruits right from the garden. Yum!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Karen. Very rewarding to harvest from own garden and enjoy tasting the food too. Have a great day!
