MACCALUM STREET ROJAK

We finally managed to buy the rojak from maccallum street. It only starts selling at 130pm onwards. Sold by a husband and wife team. Elpea said they worked very well together unlike other stalls :-)

We bought 2 packs.

One of the main difference “visually” is that It has a lot of nuts and deep fried shrimp.

But taste wise, it has too much shrimp paste. Overpowering, actually.

Now, some people may like it but we felt it was too much.

As soon as the rojak come into the car, ry nearly started puking and said the smell was bad. We just laughed at him and thought he was ‘drama’ as usual. Opened the window for him somemore..

But after elpea started eating it she said she didn’t like it as the shrimp paste was really just too much. And she was trying to get the taste off her mouth all the way back home.

My take? I kinda liked it, the squid was very fresh as was the fruits. The sauce was well… Different..

It was not bad, but it was only ok for me.. And I did feel there was just too much shrimp paste.

BUT I actually liked the load of peanuts and deep fried shrimp.

Well, Its just different. By the way, I finished the 2^nd pack as elpea wanted to give it away. :-P Hahaha..

I rated it 6/10 but only because my preference is still to the one in chai leng park and the one in the taman opp tesco extra...

rojak at chai leng park

Elpea used to eat this every day after school she says. (this and the sugar cane water, which is now on her banned list but that is another story…)

Anyway, I only started eating the rojak after I got to know her and I must say its quite addictive. The rojak is very good actually And the sauce has a very unique taste as well. The rojak has got all the normal fruits (cucumber, pineapple, bangkuang, mango) and squid

BUT I like it because it has the additional ingredient of crunchy refried ”eu char koay” and you can also add the packet of fried/dry joohoo. These go really well with the fruits and the sauce.

The “push-cart” is next to the corner coffee shop on the intersection of jalan gan chai leng and tingkat kurau4. hes there from lunch time onwards.

We actually bought 2 pack home so some assembly is required.. Both packs finished before the day was done. Overall rating of 8/10
