BROTHERS ROJAK

Brothers Rojak is one of the most popular rojak stalls in the West of Singapore. Their tofu puff and fritters are briefly toasted before being tossed with fruits and a slightly pungent fermented shrimp paste which flavours are lifted by ginger torch buds. With a squeeze of lime before serving, their rojak has a refreshing zest that sets it apart from the rest. They pack the sauce separately if you order it as a takeaway.

BALESTIER ROAD HOOVER ROJAK

Balestier Road Hoover Rojak might be better known as that famous rojak from Whampoa that is a Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient. Keep that in mind while you wait for your order to be served. It features traditional  ingredients such as jellyfish, ginger flower, and century egg and has been in business since 1961 when it started as a humble pushcart stall in Toa Payoh.

LAU HONG SER ROJAK

The queue time at Lau Hong Ser Rojak can be horrendous with a wait from thirty minutes to even a full hour but that is clear testament to its popularity. In spite of the line of customers, the owner of this unassuming hawker stall continues to serve painstakingly charcoal-roasted you tiao with toasted peanuts that he crushes himself and chilli paste he makes.

SOON HENG ROJAK

Right next to Toa Payoh MRT Station, Soon Heng Rojak is housed in Gourmet Paradise food court. Their rojak is served heavily sprinkled with peanuts that covers most of the mound of ingredients which are known to be fresh and juicy with a nice crunch that complements the crispy you tiao. The wait for your plate might take up to 15 minutes but is well worth it.

ROGER’S ROJAK

Roger’s Rojak is within Dignity Kitchen which is Singapore’s first hawker training ground for the disadvantaged. Roger was a successful financial advisor before a stroke in 2010 which paralysed his right arm and affected his speech but his spirit was not beaten. Choose between Roger’s prawn paste or vegetarian-friendly plum paste for your generous heap of rojak.

TOA PAYOH ROJAK

Do not be misled by its name because Toa Payoh Rojak is located in Old Airport Road Food Centre near Dakota MRT Station. This stall is so popular that it has a numbering system for queues.

TOW KWAR POP 

Tow Kwar Pop has been around for over five decades since it was started by two brothers. The smoky aroma of their freshly charcoal-grilled signature tow kwar pops draw in customers in queues. The owners keep to the traditional way of preparation and patiently flip their puffs and fritters so every side is crisp. They typically serve their prawn paste sauce on the side.
