| Delicious Rojak (Damansara Utama Rojak) |

I ordered a special rojak, which is the addition of sotong, tofu and special sauces on top of his regular rojak. If you ask me what the ultimate rojak is, this is it. It is a healthful combination of fruits overpowered buy a sinful concoction of thick har koh.  Serving of Rojak The base is lined with fried yeow char kwau (Chinese dog bone) and water spinach which is then topped with the rojak mixture and then topped with flour cake and peanuts. Sometimes, when the container is bursting when he tries to close it, the flour cake is outside the container. The arrangement is well thought out because the flour cake on the top remained crispy when I brought it home and the yeow char kwai base was still crispy. Digging in to the rojak, it was quite difficult to figure out what I ate. The har koh sauce was so think, one can barely identify what it is until it reaches the palates to figure out what is it. Even then, it is quite a task to identify. His choices of ingredients are random, so you may not know what you will get if someone else gets it for you.  What's beneath it One skewer is not though enough for the whole pack, which explain why he gives a generous 2-4 sticks a packet. There are some ingredients that are hard or impossible to poke, often blunting the skewer. Everybody will have their own way to eat this rojak. I usually remove the flour cake and dig in to the rojak, working from right to left, finishing off by consuming the remaining sauce with the flour cake. Sometimes, I wonder if I am having fruits with har koh or har koh with fruits. Had a tofu bakar, which is available from his daughter’s outlet in TTDI. Very good, better than the average tofu baker but I think the goodness of the mouth watering rojak overshadows and distracts the tofu bakar. After all, we have only one stomach.
