Rojak is a salad dish of mixed fruits including, among others, cucumber, hongkwak (turnip), pineapple, jambu air (rose apple, Syzygium jambos), and green mango. Non-fruit ingredients added to this salad include cuttlefish, jellyfish, Eu Char Koay and Taukuah (beancurds). Together, they form an eclectic jumble (the term "rojak" is used in colloquial expression to mean an eclectic jumble) is served with a dressing made of prawn paste, hae ko (gooey prawn paste), belacan (shrimp cakes), chilli powder, and sugar; and topped with a sprinkling of grounded roasted peanuts and sesame seeds.
To differentiate it from other types of rojak, and those found elsewhere in Malaysia and Singapore, outside Penang, the Penang version of Rojak is simply called Penang Rojak. The Indian version of the Rojak is called Pasembur in Penang although elsewhere in Malaysia, it is called Indian Rojak or Mamak Rojak.

Ever want to build your own website? Do it the right way by using
Site Build It (SBI). It has all the tools and lessons necessary to help you create a successful website. Once you have built an SBI website, you can also use it to recommend SBI to others with an SBI Affiliate account. What I like most about SBI is that it gives you a whole month to try it out for free, and if you don't like it after a full month, you can seek a full refund. That way, you can see for yourself how SBI can really help you create a great website.
