Vigan Poqui-Poqui and Garlic Fried Rice Breakfast

Poqui-Poqui, that what we call this Ilocano stir-fried grilled eggplant with egg. I am certain that dish originated in Vigan.

Some Ilocano lads out there for sure will object, trust me I am from Vigan.

Whatever the origins of  Poqui-Poqui it is one of the regular  breakfast dish of the Ilocanos, from Vigan or otherwise.
