Rojak, Cockles and Popiah

One of my favourite hawker snacks is rojak. And it taste even better when washed down with a cold mug of Heineken.
Located in the centre aisle at Maxwell Road Food Centre is this stall aptly named ‘Rojak, Popiah & Cockles’. After all, what better name to call your stall then the three main dishes you sell. The rojak is extremely good and they serve both the traditional type and the roasted style. Personally, I love the roasted to a crisp style. This way you get to dip just the right amount of rojak peanut gravy that you prefer rather than the completely mixed in style. Also, only this way can you add the bbq cuttlefish that is another must-​have snack with beer (burp!).
Cockles. ah cockles. An acquired taste for some. A delicacy to many. To me, there is something simply heavenly of the taste of blanched cockles dipped in chilli sauce. And again, its just one of those things that taste extra yummy with beer. Lastly, the 3^rd item on their menu is popiah. It is pretty ok as I have tasted better. But then again, I’ve never really been a popiah person.
