Few years back, a Johorean friend introduced to me "Asam Tumis" or "Asam Pedas" Johor with pickled cabbage. I used to eat Asam Pedas Johor that is cooked with ladies finger and/or eggplant (aubergine). So, pickled cabbage is something new ... but I fall in love with it ever since. Every now and then whenever I have pickled cabbage, I'll sure cook 'Asam Pedas'.
Today, I explore my Asam Pedas with something else ... gerkhins! I don't know much about gerkhin until last August when I was on the flight to Manchester. During breakfast this 'small cucumber like' thing was served - I didn't ever know it's name! But I enjoyed the taste. So, later I asked Herb .... and that's how I was introduced to gerkhins - when I was at Herb's house, we ate gerkhins almost everyday! 
When I am back in Malaysia I've been trying to look for gerkhins at the nearby hypermarket but couldn't find any until yesterday! So, here I am today cooking 'Asam Pedas' with gerkhins and egg plant!
