This is one of the most distinct Sarawakian vegetable. It is famously referred to as 'Tiyung Dayak'. It falls under the Solanaceae (eggplant) family. This eggplant however is different from the more recoqnised Indian Yellow Eggplant. It is sourish in taste, and take longer to cook than the normal eggplant.
This eggplant is good to be added in a soup as it added a very distinct sourish taste. It can be mixed with fish soup, chicken soup or even pork or boar soup.
However, the eggplant also can become the central dish and cook with belachan. It can be either grilled or blanched in boiling water until soft. The aroma and taste produced by yellow eggplant might need an acquired taste, but it is definitely will worth a try.
