It is sunny,
yet it is still -5 degree,
and to me its also a gloomy day for a certain personal reason.

Anyway cos my up and down mood today, i actually feel lazy cooking. Its been days that I either skip breakfast or lunch and just do as simple as possible cooking cos this horrible mood. No experimenting at cooking lol. So, today I made crispy aubergine for lunch and I accompany it with rice. Also I fried paprika ring eggs and I topped it mozarella cheese. This paprika ring eggs was actually my menu for yesterday's breakfast and I topped it with gorgonzola cheese, but I love it and couldnt get enough of it yet so I make it again today for lunch with different kind of cheese.

Ring Paprika Egg

This crispy aubergine is a popular snack in Indonesia. Actually I never cook it and I did not know that it is popular until a year ago. So I think this might be popular after I left Indonesia lol. I tried a year ago to make it with my usual basic recipe for making crispy fried chicken but it was a total failure. I never tried making it again until today cos I still have some aubergine left in refrigerator and I have to use it before it gone bad.

Luckily this second trial is a success. The aubergine turns out really crispy and delicious. I will share the recipe, which is wowww the first time here. Because I was taught by my mother to keep any recipes secret to only family lol.
