Rojak is a crisp, savory fruit salad combined from cucumber, banana flower, bean sprouts, fritters, pineapple, and mango (and much more besides). A dressing made from prawn paste, tamarind sauce, and chili powder is added to the mix, then garnished with crushed peanuts.
The dish is eaten with bamboo skewers (the type used in satay); you pick up the pieces one by one and pop them in your mouth.
The medley of flavors in rojak is indescribably exquisite - a combination of savory, sweet, and sour with the delightful crunch that tells you you're eating very fresh ingredients, the only kind you should get with a decent rojak.
