For years I have searched for the eggplant recipe that I used to eat in State College back in the late 90s. The dish was called "Wonderful Eggplant" and was one of the options at a chinese lunch special place on College Ave near the University Bookstore. 3 items +rice, 3.99, 4 times+ rice, 4.99. I knew little about cooking back then, not much more now, and can't even describe it well, but it was awesome. Spicy, must have been deep fried, but really no coating of crumbs or anything. I remember I asked the owner (the lady that always wore a jacket/dress and makeup and handled the register) if I could get the recipe, and her reply was of course "you come back tomorrow, get more". The place was gone a few years later and I've never tasted anything that compares.
