This week is Singapore's meatout week, and several vegetarian stores are having a promotion of a dish known as rojak. Rojak is a dish uniquely found only in a few countries in South East Asia. The term means "mixture", so you could guess from it that this dish is a mix of a variety of things. One of the more common rojak I have eaten is fruit rojak. It contains several types of fruits, such as chopped cucumbers, pineapples, apples etc. as well as non-fruit items such as puffed soy bean cake. Pour some vegetarian rojak sauce over this mixture and mix well, and the dish is ready, it is pretty good eaten chilled too. The rojak that are made with other kinds of food are more likely to be non-vegetarian, but that aside, the fruit rojak can also be non-vegetarian due to it's sauce. The sauce ingredients are tricky to guess, because that's one of the keys to good tasting rojak. The best thing to do would be to ask the food vendor if it is vegetarian as some of them use shrimp paste or other animal products in their special sauce. The sweet and spicy taste of the sauce gives rojak a unique taste as a dish.
