FOFOKI is what the Ternate people call eggplant smothered in a spicy coconut milk sauce. Eggplants are cut and then cooked by frying, baking or steaming and then covered with coconut milk sauce. The savory taste of coconut combined with just the right spicy seasoning and crunchy eggplant is great.

The history of how FOFOK originated is not known, but the dish has been known since long time by the people of North Maluku (especially Ternate). Note: I did not include photos when sautéing the sauce because the steam and smoke made the images not turn out...
