Terung Susu Kambing

Have you ever seen the breasts of goats? We call them kopek kambing or tetek kambing. There is a type of brinjal plant that produces green coloured brinjals that mature to become bright yellow brinjals shaped like the breasts of goats!! LOL. Thus, we call them terung susu kambing, terung kopek kambing, and other similar hilarious names. The dried yellow brinjals are used for interior decor in expensive hotel lobbies such as the Marriott Putrajaya. They are mainly used by the Chinese around Chinese New Year for decor.
