Salad Terong Bakar ( Chargrill Aubergine Salad )

I had this dish in our favourite Thai Restaurant, the sweet and sour taste and the softness of the grill aubergine makes it unforgettable. I did ask my Thai friend, she said the dressing is similar to Tang Hoon salad (vermicelli salad). So I gave it a go.

Prawns may added to give the extra flavour and blanched carrot will add the extra colour and if you like it hot, chopped chilli will give an extra kick to taste.

You'll love this dish, specially on a hot summer day...
