Deep Fried Brinjal with Crispy Garlic and Dried Chilli

This is a specialty dish in Ming Ren Restaurant up here in Genting Highlands Hotel. The restaurant was set up by our Chairman Tan Sri KT Lim as he thought it was a good concept. He first tasted the dishes cooked up by the chefs from XinJiang. I will not blog about the special lamb they have there as I dont have the pic and recipe yet.

This time I will blog about the brinjal dish they cooked up. Its superb and simple.
