Rojak

Rojak is actually a Malay word used to describe something made from a random mix of unrelated things. Fortunately, any derogatory undertones are erased when one refers to the fruit salad that bears the same name. It has an odd mixture of ingredients that include bite-size pieces of fruits, vegetables, dried tofu, fried you tiao (dough fritters) and cured cuttlefish are tossed in a prawn paste sauce topped with crushed peanuts.

Rojak is actually a Malay word used to describe something made from a random mix of unrelated things. Fortunately, any derogatory undertones are erased when one refers to the fruit salad that bears the same name. It has an odd mixture of ingredients that include bite-size pieces of fruits, vegetables, dried tofu, fried you tiao (dough fritters) and cured cuttlefish are tossed in a prawn paste sauce topped with crushed peanuts. Grated bunga kantan (pink ginger buds) add a sensuous fragrance. The result is a wild mix of sweet, spicy, sour and savory flavors.
