Rojak - Soon Heng

***WALL OF FAME***



Rojak with cuttlefish @ $2.
51 on the box? That's the queue number!

I used to grow up eating Rojak from this place wat before it is relocated to HDB. Before this, this stall located at a coffee shop at Blk 177 Toa Payoh Central, where you can find the very famous goreng pisang as well. Hence, my Rojak standard bar is pretty high, and ever since then, i have yet to try any rojak that is better or on par with this.


Getting a good packet of rojak in Singapore now needs queue number too! From the "queue" (actually the queue is invisible because of the number system, and everyone gets scattered everywhere), you can more or less anticipate this stall to whip up a at least decent packet of rojak. And yes, they do whip up very nice rojak for minimum of just $2.

Why is this nice then?!?

I think making rojak really needs skill and Soon Heng has it! The prawn psate sweetness is splendid and well-balanced, and the amount of peanut bits is so generous that the whole packet is just covered with it...*slurpz*, and the "You Tiao" is very crispy as well.

Come try it and add on to their every growing Queue! lol
