Rojak.Popiah & Cockle (啰惹.薄饼.鲜蛤), located in Maxwell Food Centre, is a really direct name — the stall serves its signature rojak (Nanyang fruit salad), popiah (Chinese spring roll), fresh cockles and others. Even without a name, the stall is recognised by Singapore Michelin Guide since 2018.
Rojak is a Malay term that refers to a fruit salad dish in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. The fruits used need to be ripe and fresh as no cooking is involved.
The Rojak (啰惹) has slices of pineapple, cucumber, fried dough fritters, turnip and beansprouts stir-mixed in shrimp paste sauce and sprinkled with crushed peanuts. The dish has well-balanced flavours between savouriness, sweetness, sourness and spiciness (optional) and is nice-tasting with no discomfort in the throat from too much thick sauce.
The Popiah (薄饼, 2 pcs per order) has really thin popiah crepes that hold the ingredients firmly — with the aid of fresh lettuce. Other ingredients include cooked turnips in delightful sauce, fresh beansprouts, hard-boiled egg, crushed peanuts and spicy chilli (optional). It has nice flavours with crunchiness and the crepe does not get in the way when munching on the snack. It is delicious indeed.
Aside from the three items mentioned on the signboard, the stall has cuttlefish, you tiao (fried dough) and tau pok (tofu puff) to try too.
