Last Updated on 2016-06-23 , 12:28 pm

In the melting pot that is Singapore, we get to enjoy the food from different cultures easily through our hawker centres and kopitiams.

One of the most popular Indian food we have here is the Indian rojak. This is different from Chinese rojak, which is sweet. The Indian rojak is savoury in nature, and features different treats similar to the Chinese “Wu Xiang”. The difference is of course, in the sauce.

Where are the good Indian rojak in Singapore? Read on to find out.

Abdhus Salam Rojak
Address: Blk 503 West Coast Drive, Ayer Rajah Food Centre Stall 73
This stall used to be located in Shenton Way before they were relocated here. For the past 10 years, they have been working hard to make excellent handmade rojak at Ayer Rajah Food Centre.

The stall has already been taken over by the son of the founder and this Gen-Y young hawker is dedicated to making it better. The rojak here is fried to a crisp and paired with a sauce that is spicier than some of the other rojak sauce found in Singapore.

If you visit, you have to try their coconut fritters and the vadai. The coconut fritters are made with freshly grated coconut so you can taste the coconut. The vadai has a spicy punch to it which pairs very well with the sauce.

Temasek Indian Rojak
Blk 665 Buffalo Road, Tekka Food Centre, #01-254
Do you love prawns fritters? If you do, head down to Temasek Indian Rojak.

It has 3 types of prawn fritters of different sizes and prawns for you to choose from. These prawn fritters are fried to a crisp and paired really well with the thick, hot and rich sauce they serve together with the rojak. Try it out for yourself to satisfy that festering need to eat prawns.

Habib’s Rojak
Blk 503 West Coast Drive, Ayer Rajah Food Centre Stall 68
The owner of this stall has been selling Indian rojak for 23 years and made everything by hand.

The best items to try are the egg flour, fish fillet, coconut fritter, crispy prawn fritter and the potato. The sauce is made less spicy but it goes well with all the items, especially the potato. You just got to try it to want it more.

Al Mahboob Rojak
Blk 506 Tampines Central 1
This is one place which serves more than just great Indian rojak. The best thing about the rojak here is the sauce. The red fiery looking sauce is actually more scary to the eye than the tongue for it tastes pretty sweet and is thickened with root vegetables.

The items to try are the dough balls and the prawn fritters as they are handmade daily from the stall.

Sabeena Indian Food
Blk 262 Waterloo Street #01-29 Nan Tai Eating House
Sabeena Indian Food used to be known as Sajis Indian Food and has been around since 1960s.

They make their items fresh daily. The usual culprits like dough ball and prawn fritters are good here and the sauce paired with them makes it all worthwhile.

Siraj Famous Waterloo Street Indian Rojak
Queen Street, Albert Centre Market and Food Centre #01-120270
This is a sister stall to Sabeena Indian Food that is run by her brother. They serve a lighter and less greasy version of Indian rojak and has no rancid oil smell. The sauce is not as rich as the others in this list, but it is still good.

Mohamed Arafat Muslim Food
Seah Im Food Centre #01-48, 2 Seah Im Road
There are great varieties of food to pick from at this stall and the items are all freshly made.

The items of choice would be the coconut fritters, dough balls and potato. The sauce that accompanies the items is rich and thick which makes it perfect to dip the freshly made food into it.

Adam’s Indian Rojak
2 Adam Road, #01-05 Adam Road Food Centre
The Indian rojak here sells out very early so go during lunch if you want to try it out.

The items are fried to a crisp and serve with a bowl of piping hot sauce. The sauce is what makes this rojak stall stands out as the items are not freshly made at the location.

Nonetheless, the sauce made up for the lack of freshly made food with its amazing sweet and spicy taste.

Rojak and Mee Siam
Geylang Serai Market & Food Centre #02-126, 1 Geylang Serai
This stall was the core of a massive food poisoning back in 2009 and there were 2 fatalities.

However, they are back since 2013 and have been serving great quality food ever since. They also make their items daily at the stall and the food is really fresh and good.

What stands out most is their sauce which they handmade with sweet potato every day. Try it to know it!

Now that you know which stalls are good, go and try them all and see which one is your favourite.
