Best Rojak & Pasembur
in Penang
In Penang, "Rojak" usually refers to the Chinese-style fruit and vegetable salad tossed in a thick, pungent, and sweet dark prawn-paste sauce (*petis udang*). It features crunchy pieces of green mango, pineapple, guava, jicama, cucumber, and fried dough fritters (*you tiao*), all topped with a heavy dusting of crushed peanuts. Its cousin, **Pasembur**, is the Indian-Muslim version (often called "Mamak Rojak" in other states), consisting of shredded cucumber, potatoes, beancurd, turnip, bean sprouts, and a variety of crispy seafood fritters, all smothered in a thick, spicy-sweet peanut and sweet potato gravy. The trap is finding a "dilute" sauce; a great rojak sauce should be almost like tar—sticky, dark, and intensely umami. Expect to pay RM6–RM15 depending on the fritter selection.
