'Rojak (Malay spelling) or Rujak (Indonesian spelling) is a traditional fruit and vegetable salad dish commonly found in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. In Indonesia the most popular rujak variant is mixed sliced fruit and vegetables served with spicy palm sugardressing. Unlike common fruit salads, rujak is often described as tangy and spicy fruit salad, due to its sweet, hot and spicy dressing made from ground chili pepper, palm sugar and peanuts. In Malaysia, mamak rojak (or Pasembur) contains fried dough fritters, bean curds, boiled potatoes, prawn fritters, hard boiled eggs, bean sprouts, cuttlefish and cucumber mixed with a sweet thick, spicy peanut sauce. In Singapore it\'s an assortment of potatoes, eggs, bean curd (tofu), and prawns fried in batter, served with a sweet and spicy chili sauce. You can find it here: #B1-57 Golden Mile Food Centre, 505 Beach Road, Singapore. Pisang goreng (fried banana in Indonesian/Malay) is a snack food made of banana , covered in batter or not, being deep fried in hot cooking oil, mostly found in Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand, Singapore, Brunei and Philippines. You can find it here: #B1-36 Golden Mile Food Centre, 505 Beach Road, Singapore. Built in 1975 to accommodate the hawkers at the very popular Jalan Sultan street market and even though it’s near the centre of town, Golden Mile Hawker Centre it’s not near an MRT station. Lavender MRT is the nearest but it’s a good 15 minutes away. While it has no problems attracting a daily crowd of office workers in the area, the hawkers by and large, put in that extra effort to attract customers to their stall beyond the immediate area. That means that you won’t get the same old predictable fare that you get in every other food court or hawker centre.'
