ROJAK & CENDOL

The weather looks like going to rain when we stepped out from a shopping mall. On the way driving back to my place, we decided to stop by the road side to have rojak/ pasembor and cendol for an afternoon tea break. Never mind if it's rain, there is big umbrella to cover the three of us from getting wet.

The owner, an Indian man is assisted by a malay lady helper to run his daily business using a mini van.  Usually,  brisk business during noon and from 3pm onward, lesser crowd but unpredictable.

This is my second time eating here and similar to my first visit, I placed the same order i.e. a plate of Rojak and a bowl of Cendol since mom insisted to share as she can't finish it by herself and sis is already full after a hearty lunch.

Rojak with Cuttle Fish (RM5)
In Penang, this staple is commonly known as Pasembor. Filled with a mountain full of julienne turnip, cucumber, fried prawn fritter, crunchy crackers with added cuttlefish (at extra cost) and laced with thick red gravy made of chillies and sweet potatoes plus other secret ingredients. I ate mostly pieces of spicy cuttlefish and crunchy crackers while my mom help polished the remaining in the plate.


Cendol Pulut (RM1.80)
When having rojak, make sure you order cendol too! This time, I find the coconut milk too diluted which could be too much of shaving ice. The rest were pretty standard ingredients i.e palm sugar, soft red bean, steamed glutinous rice and worm like green jelly.


HOW TO GET THERE?
After the traffic light junction, (on your left is Nong & Jimmy Thai BBQ Seafood Restaurant in Pandan Cahaya), turn and keep left. About 5 minutes drive, you  will see this mini van at the roadside.

LEANING TOWER + ROJAK AH CHAI IN TELUK INTAN


This 25.5 m tall leaning tower or known as Menara Condong in Teluk Intan, Malaysia is similar to the world-famous Leaning Tower of Pisa, Italy.  Built in 1885, this look alike 8 storeys tower which is 3 different level only  and slanted leftward ( because of the soft ground on the base of the tower and the weight of the water tank)  is located right at the heart of the Teluk Intan town centre and is a must for those who are visiting the state of Perak.

 

First time entering this attraction with historical pictures hanging on the wall and we took less than 15 minutes to walk up to the top and came out from the building. 

Since we are not similar with Teluk Intan town and upon recommendation from the local, we drove to the Pasar Basar/Wet Market hunting for local delicacies but sadly most of the food stalls has wrapped up for the day business. As we were leaving the market which is opposite San Min School, saw a rojak stall at a corner with beeline of customers and paved our way there.
'Ho Chiak' was here too!
 compulsory greens for rojak...
Cool fresh coconut water + grass jelly drink @ RM1 per glass
This plate 'healthy' salad are filled with array of fruits i.e. cut turnip/sengkuang, cucumber, mango, guava + brown squid and mixed together with prawn paste, sprinkled with crusted peanuts and fried crackers. Personally, I would still prefer Penang rojak i.e thicker prawn paste + belacan powder + boiled cut egg.
