ReplyDeleteNice! I have been trying to find cuttlefish around here and zero luck. sniff sniff.
ReplyDeleteI can almost taste this! I imagine how great the sweet, tangy, salty flavors must come together for a fabulous salad!
ReplyDeleteI am not sure where to get cuttle fish, I wonder if I could substitute another kind of fish.
Thanks for finding my blog and for the nice comments!
you make me drooling lar.....
ReplyDeletehere we use kangkung also in dish
Yarghle...drool.... sorry, I think I drooled all over your lovely pics.
ReplyDeleteEverything there looks so scrumptious!!!
This looks so good, but I'm confused. Why is it called fruit salad if there isn't any fruit in there?
ReplyDeletei think it's called juhu here...but it's hokkien and i'm cantonese, so i'm not so sure..hehehehe...
ReplyDeleteyummy stuff! salty cuttlefish with sweet vegetables and a tangy dressing. ohhh, peanut sauce for the aroma..yummy!
This looks delicious. I have never had cuttlefish... must be time. I love the mixture of ingredients.... mmmm.
ReplyDeleteDelicious. I love all the pictures.
ReplyDeletebangsar-babe: There’s rojak mee in Msia? Whoaaa… must be nice :)
ReplyDelete5 star foodie: Hopefully, you can try it someday :)
food paradise: Rujak juhi isn’t so spicy like the other rujaks :)
Katherine aucoin: And yummy ;)
sara: I’m glad to share these authentic street food posts :)
pam: Believe it or not, most of the time, street food tasted better than food in restaurant :)
ReplyDeletejeff: Ah… too bad, maybe try to find it in Chinatown or Japanese store near your area?
the ungourmet: Hi the ungourmet, welcome to my blog. Hmmm… I’m not sure whether you can substitute the cuttlefish because it has its own aroma and texture (very different than other fish). I believe you can find cuttlefish in Chinatown or Japanese store. Good luck!
pisang goreng: Kangkung in rujak? Here in Indonesia, there’s another rujak called Rujak cingur with ox nose as the main ingredient, also got kangkung in it :)
sam’s mistress: Hahaha… no worries, it dry up quickly!
monica h: Hehehe… I’m also confused!
ReplyDeletenic: Juhu? Eh.. Maybe the word “Juhi” came from that word? What’s the word in Cantonese?
Nic, seriously… I think I really need to learn from you how to describe food! :)
Claudia: Give a try to salted cuttlefish, it’s also nice for a snack :)
helene: Thank you, Helene :)
YUM!
ReplyDeletefoodie with little thyme: *drool*

ReplyDeletecatherine: the cuttlefish salad is yummy :)
ReplyDeleteHow fascinating, I love learning about other cultures food!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so lovely.. I have not seen cuttlefish here to try:( Gorgeous photos.
ReplyDeletedonna-ffw: Do you have Chinatown in your area? Usually, they will sell dried cuttlefish :)
ReplyDeletean odd combination dish but it looks tasty with extra Kerupuk!
ReplyDeletefoodbin: Odd? Hehehe.. you gotta try it first! ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is a street snack I could really get addicted to. Well, this and all the other rujaks you've shared! Looks great!
ReplyDeletesapuche: You like cuttlefish? :)
ReplyDeleteI love cuttlefish! I've had it a lot in Vietnam and Japan. :)
ReplyDeletesapuche: Great! Then you definitely will love this cuttlefish salad :)
ReplyDeleteIndo Language sounds similair to malaysian. Rujak sounds Rojak, & Juhi sounds "Juhu" means cuttlefish in hokkien...haha.
ReplyDeleteI guess this Rujak Juhi is a similar version to Pasembor in malaysia. Pasembor basically have cucumber, turnip, prawn fritter, taukua & potato. and many more additional ingrediants such as squid, big prawn, hard boiled egg...etc
gill gill: Hi Gill, thanks for stopping by my blog.
ReplyDeleteYes, Indonesian language and Malay language is quite similiar because it comes from the same root :)
Wow... the Pasembor sounds so delicious!
camelia: Hi Camelia, thanks for bumping into my blog :) I'll check out your site.
It did look like the combination of our mee jawa and pasembur and did not look anything like our rojak. :P
ReplyDeletehttp://crizfood.com/
criz lai: Yup, even for us Indonesian, we are confused why at the first place it's called as rujak since there's no fruit (except if you consider cucumber is a fruit), hehehe...
