When I tried it, it was sweet with a hint of spice and tang. It was a fusion of tastes! When I picked another slice and tasted it, I said to him, "This is a small slice of pineapple in my mouth." So I thought it really was a dessert, since it's what his client had said. I picked another one, this time I got a sweet green mango, like Indian mango sweet, which is what I liked.
Anyway, as I went on eating for a few more, I suddenly didn't like it since it became really complicated in my palate. I didn't know why; but in my opinion, a dessert is suppose to be sweet with no chillis in it. Because if there IS chilli, it is an appetizer for me, or a vegan salad, not a dessert. So perhaps, telling me it's a dessert but doesn't taste like a dessert for me is the reason why I didn't finish it.
Okay, I'm not going to prolong your agony of knowing what it is. *Laughs* It is what they call Rojak.
When I checked Mr. Yahoo! what a Rojak is, it said Singapore Salad. So I was right afterall. Haha. Hubby's client was wrong lah.
Anyway, the Rojak that he bought had slices of fried tofu, pineapple, mango, cucumber, some bean sprouts and crushed peanuts, which by the way, also gave a nutty twist. It has bits of fresh chillis that was mixed with the sweet sauce. Or must I say dressing?
According to hubby, the man selling it in the UBI Techpark area first mixed the sauce; vinegar, sugar, fresh minced chillis, salt, some kind of shrimp paste and ground nuts. Then he tossed in the slices of fried tofu, pineapple, cucumber, mango and cooked bean sprouts, then mixed it well. After which, he transferred it to a takeaway styrofoam.
p.s. I hope the next time hubby brings something home and tells me it's a dessert, I really hope he means a REAL dessert...a sweet king.
