This is so evident in the food that we cook, eat and serve. It comes to no surprise that many have made our cultural references to a dish of Rojak!<\/p>\n<p>Today, Rojak is not only distinctive and iconic, but many would agree that it is a staple luxury in our diet just like how it was in the past.<\/p>\n<p>As early as 1960s, Rojak was sold in the streets of the Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. This is the dish it is a dish that brings everyone together. The old and\u00a0the young come together to one table to indulge in the explosion of flavours in that one indescribable bite.<\/p>\n<p>Back then, hawker centres, food courts and restaurants were non-existent. So, local rojak peddlers would scour the streets in search of customers. Most travelled by\u00a0foot. With tins filled with fresh cut fruits and sauces that hung on each side of a wooden pole, the seller would carry and walked from one lane to the next.<\/p>\n<p>Others who could afford a bicycle or a pushcart (a makeshift wooden \u2018stall\u2019 in the form of a box with transparent glass panels) would do the same and many would respond to the call of the Rojak man.<\/p>\n<p>Served in a\u00a0<em>daun upih pinang<\/em>\u00a0(thin and wide frond stem; a sheath of palm-tree blossom), the rojak was also served in a newspaper cone lined with\u00a0<em>daun pisang<\/em>\u00a0(banana leaves). The cost? Just 10 SGD cents. With toothpicks or\u00a0<em>lidi\u00a0<\/em>on hand, the hungry customer chomps away on the sweet and savoury rojak!<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, Rojak was one of the small-yet-wonderful luxuries people could afford back in their golden\u00a0<em>kampong\u00a0<\/em>days. Rojak was so popular it was even sold in primary schools!<\/p>\n<p>Today, people continue to\u00a0<em>crave<\/em>\u00a0for Rojak!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11588\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11588\" style=\"width: 720px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11588\" src=\"https:\/\/halalke.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Brothers-Rojak-Clementi-34578.jpg\" alt=\"One of the popular Rojak outlets in the West is Brothers Rojak located at Clementi!

In some versions, local prawn paste or tamarind or black bean paste is mixed with sugar and lime where this is used as the base sauce. The fruits and veggies used in this dish are cucumber, pineapple, benkuang (jicama or ubi sengkuang), bean sprouts, taupok (puffy, deep-fried tofu) and youtiao (char kway). The dish is then drizzled with lots of chopped peanuts. A dash of finely chopped\u00a0<em>bunga kantan\u00a0<\/em>(Etlingera Elatior or Torch Ginger Flower &#8211; often used in\u00a0<em>Assam laksa<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>Nasi kerabu<\/em>\u00a0as well) is also added.
