Rojak @ JB

Rojak @ JB

wahah...ok normally after our usual bak kut teh in JB, we will head to pelangi shopping mall to get our favourite fruit rojak...

uncle sells his rojak from a little stall on his bike...it is interesting to see how he prepares the fruit rojaks: laying the bottom of the styrofoam box with pieces of you tiao, skilfully slicing out small pieces from the cucumber, turnip (opss just edited..called it radish earlier on..hahha!) and mango, chopping up the lembu and pineapple slice...and finally....using a big wooden spoon, dipping into the sticky paste and brushing the paste across the fruits, ending with peanut bits topping...

if you are not eating the rojak right away, uncle will provide the paste in a small packet, which you can later pour onto the rojak...

ok what is so nice abt this rojak is the paste, i haven't come across a paste that can fight uncle's. his paste is more sticky than watery...when mixed with the fruits it seems to blend well into the fruits and tasted so heavenly. further, the fact that uncle uses a variety of fruits besides the usual turnip, you tiao and pineapple, you won't get sick of the rojak so fast. if you can't really eat spicy stuff, don't take the spicy paste though...if you can, you can even request for his hotter paste...oh, and it is only RM3.50...

    Restoran Todak (Orang Asli)
    CyberTron commented..
    My last 2 trips there this year was kinda disappointing as well. First time, somewhere near CNY, a lot of seafood was sold out, even the beer! Thought cos we were there late, so the next time we decided to get there earlier, and this time, the crab where sold out! Service was also very slow and not enuff people to serve the customers. Food wise, I think price is still ok, but I think the food is not longer as good as when it was less well known.... planning to try senibong next round...

    Have not been to Jogoya before, but I've been to the Gonbei opposite. Priced similarly to Jogoya if not wrong, and I thought the service and food was pretty good.

    I went with 7 adults and 1 kid, we spent less than $120. I would safely hazard a guess of $18 - $25 per person, depending on how hungry you get. Real value for money for quality food.

    Gonbei Fine Japanese Cuisine
    CyberTron commented..
    Is diagonally opposite Jogoya. Supposedly the quality is better than Jogoya. Price wise, if we convert currency, then Malaysia is cheaper. If we do not convert currency, then Singapore is cheaper. Generally, a japanese buffet in Siingapore is around SGD30+ range.

    I didnt know about this place, look like quality Japanese food with reasonable price, must pay a visit someday....BTW, would like to have your opinion, generally Japanese buffet is cheaper in Singapore, or in Malaysia?
