Famous Ipoh Rojak in 6th mile Cheras.
It has become a norm in Malaysia to say the best food is found under a big tree. But sometimes, you'll discover rare gems that are served on bikes like this 'Rojak' with all the ingredients you'd expect to find in a rojak except for a splash of freshly squeezed lime juice that brings to life a certain 'sparkle' that's missing in most.
For the benefit of those who are not sure of what you'll find in a rojak mix, you can expect lots of fresh fruits like mango (the sour ones, of course), pineapple, papaya (the not so ripe ones), jambu air (water apple), and some crunchy vegetables like turnip and cucumber, all cut into bite-size chips, tossed together in a bowl with yau cha kuai (Chinese cruller), sweet rojak mix paste, chili paste, a pinch of 5-spice, (right about here is when the rojak man adds the lime juice), along with a piece or two of crispy 'keropok' (prawn cracker), and topped with coarsely crushed peanuts.
Whereabout is this magical bike you ask? Just take a drive to Cheras and look for Taynton View. Rain or shine, it's right there along the main road of this old residential 'garden' located right across the highway from Leisure Mall.
