Indian rojak @ Koufu<\/a> (Sengkang East Avenue<\/a>)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"dining-118.JPG\"\u2026 and unfortunately, as these things go, they also are amongst the most delicious foods around. One such example is Indian rojak. Indian rojak is pretty different from the other popular kind, Fruit rojak: the former comprises an assortment of sliced cucumber, hard-boiled eggs, onions, fish cake, potatos, green chili, and prawns deep fried in batter. The rojak is then served with a sort of sweet, spicy and very slightly hot chili sauce.<\/p>\n

The vegetable end of the stuff in the dish is still reasonably healthy, but if you\u2019ve seen how the prawn batters get cooked and are a health nut, you\u2019d faint. And the prawns are deep fried until they\u2019re nearly burnt into crispy portions; yummy in other words, but practically devoid of any sort of nutritional value.<\/p>\n

One doesn\u2019t find Indian rojak as commonly as say fruit rojak, and a plate of this stuff tends to be much more expensive too. The above plate cost $5.50 at a Koufu<\/a> foodcourt we visited along Sengkang East Avenue<\/a> last Wednesday evening for dinner, compared to around $2 to $3 for a bowl of fruit rojak.<\/p>\n
