Pisang Raja & Rojak

After hearing comments on how delicious this fried bananas for weeks, yesterday evening we finally went there. The fried banana stall is located in Toa Payoh, small hawker center but all tables are full. Definitely a good indication for food quality.
Our fried banana stall is called Lucky Pisang Raja. Besides fried pisang raja, it also sells other fried thingy, such as sweet potato, yam, etc. All looks tempting. But since we definitely will try other food, we only buy 5 bananas and one sweet potato. While waiting for my change, I saw this signage at the counter: buy 12 bananas and we'll give you free box. Box? Not so good proposition, it will be more interesting if it says buy 12 and get 1 free. Then my friend told me that bananas is packed in paper bags, if you buy 12 than it comes in box which makes easier to eat. Huh? It still doesn't make sense to me. Anyway, who am I to complain, especially because the banana is crispy and yummy.

The other must-try food is rojak. Apparently the Toa Payoh famous rojak is there. We notice this by seeing at least one plate of rojak in every table, plus peeps are queueing for take away. And to keep it in order this small stall is using electronic queue-number board! It takes quite a while for our rojak to arrive. Rojak is a bit different with the Indonesian rujak. Rojak comes with crushed peanuts, a bit of petis, and not only fueled with pineapples & bangkoang but also yu tiao (chinese dough sticks aka ca kueh) and ju her (cured cuttlefish).

While waiting for our rojak, we order other dishes, one of them is this lovely minced pork noodles. It comes with mushroom -baked in dark soy sauce- and meat balls. You can pick different type of noodles too, from thin angel-hair-kinda noodles to a thick (probably the rasta version) noodles. Taste wise: good when the soup is hot.
