Still remember my post of the
original Rujak - Indonesian fruit salad? This is another version of rujak. If the original rujak has many fruit assortments with mixed peanut brown sugar sauce for dressing, then this rujak has limited fruits assortment and instead eating it with sauce, there's salt mixed with chopped hot red chili to substitute the sauce.
The limited assortment of the fruits are Mango (mangga), Water Apple (jambu air), Ambarella (kedondong) and Jicama (bangkuang).
But then, as you can see in the behind glass box, the vendor also sells Water Apple, Mango and Pineapple seperately in plastic bags.
Salt mixed with chopped red hot chili for the dipping.
the cut fruit looks nice and it seems different compare to our place here. We used to have the Rojak with shrimp paste instead the powder.
ReplyDeletethe salt powder with chilies is similar to our salt with belacan powder, normally will be added when we buy cut fruits in the hawker....but when we talk about rojak here..we normally will add shrimp paste.
ReplyDeleteOur powdered dipping here also includes dried sour plums.
ReplyDeleteI would love the salt powder with chilies!
ReplyDeletein taiwan, i would see people eat fruit with salt, too. i never quite understood it, although it does add a nice tang!
ReplyDeletesteven goh: The original rujak with sauce also has shrimp paste in it :)
ReplyDeletesimplegirl: belacan powder? that's new to me. I wonder how it tasted :)
worldwindows: Wow! Dried sour plums? Nice taste!
5 star foodie: It's easy to make by your own, just salt then mix it with the cut red hot chili. If you eat sour fruit (not ripe yet) with salt, it give a sweet taste, try it :)
aiseh all malayasian fan talk already.
ReplyDeletelet see, there are also added fried tofu and some place they added kangkung too
BUT no nose cow

ReplyDeleteGood to know it is easy to make your own. Great thing about blogs is I get exposed to a million different things I want to try however, I live in the middle of nowhere so I can never find it around here.
ReplyDeleteNicely done!
The fruit's colors are so vibrant and beautiful. What a luxury to walk down the street and be able to buy such a healthy and delicious treat.
ReplyDeletewow... next time i will surely try out the spicy powder when i go to Indonesia.
