Hey guys. First of all, this blog is for our Pendidikan Sivik folio, and... we're not sure if we're supposed to do it informally, but we'll just take the risk and do it informally. Because, isn't it boring just copying from Wikipedia and other sites?
So, well. Let's have a Rojak talk.
It's only available in South East Asia. Well, you don't usually see Europeans eating this right? Rojak, is basically "mixture" in Malay. Where can you get it in Malaysia? Easy. Just go to your nearest mamak and order like a typical Malaysian.
"Macha, rojak satu!"
It's best eaten when the weather's hot, SYOK MAH! And in Malaysia, it's summer 365 days a year. Perfect.
Now, first we have the Indian Rojak or Mamak Rojak, also known as Pasembor.
It contains fried dough fritters, bean curds, boiled potatoes, prawn fritters, hard boiled eggs, bean sprouts, cuttlefish and cucumber, topped with a sweet thick, spicy peanut sauce.
Definitely not suitable for people who are allergic to nuts.
Next, we have the Fruit Rojak!
This is actually one of my favourite street food in Malaysia.
It's not called a Fruit Rojak if it's not filled with fruits. But, what fruits are there?
Cucumer, pineapple, mangoes, sengkuang, bean sprouts, deep fried tofu, youtiao (cut-up Chinese style fritters) and sengkuang. Topped with a mix of water, belacan, sugar, chili and lime juice. Some vendors will even use har kao (shrimp paste).
If you don't fancy sour fruits, like me, it's alright. You can just ask them to not put pineapples or mangoes in it. Might as well tell them to not put those instead of you wasting it and throwing it into the rubbish bin, right?
Penang Rojak is also very similar to Fruit Rojak, but adds jambu air, honey, guava, squid fritters to the mixture.
Every state in Malaysia has its own way of making them. But you have to admit, Penang Rojaks are the best ones in Malaysia.
Well, we will see you again next time. Stay tuned for more updates on... Ice Kacang, also known as ABC!
