With a name that reflects its level of acclaim, Singapore Famous Rojak has been in existence as long as i remember and fame dictates an usually long queue at mealtimes.
TV endorsements definitely added more people to the queue!
Seeing a queue, contrary to popular belief, is not necessary a good thing in Bugis where good food are plentiful and in various forms! Liang Seah street, for one, has immensely popular steamboat restaurants and dessert eateries.
Convenience plays a very important part though. Mum wanted to buy some dried food products for Chinese New Year at Albert Centre and it was decided that we should have something nearby just to line the stomach!
This plate of rojak is at its most traditional form; the form i used to have when i was much younger.
Freshly sliced cucumbers, turnips and pineapples without any of the strong tasting cuttlefish or century egg.
And not to forget the irresistible toasted you tiao (crullers), tau pok and roughy peanut bits!
Every piece (you tiao, pineapples, cucumbers, turnips) was soaked in a way too watery prawn paste.
Nothing's lost yet as surprise surprise, the sauce (as the paste had become) managed, in a strange way, to maintain a strong, savoury flavour! Note: definitely not to the extreme sweetness or saltiness flavoured by some.

This is arguably one of the best rojak i had in Singapore! The other notable competitor is the rojak stall in Old Airport road.
