My opinion:

If I am not wrong, this is the only stall that sells Chinese rojak and cockles in Maxwell Food Centre (monopoly). There was always a small queue in front of their stall and most of the customers were ordering popiah. For this food review, I decided to go against the flow and tried out their Chinese rojak for lunch.

The owners were stingy in the food ingredients especially you zha kueh and pineapple slices. You zha kueh was hot but not crispy enough. Pineapple slices had a very sourish taste. The thick sauce was delicious and flavorful. Sadly, you would finish most of the food with the sauce remaining. The mild tasting chili was a major letdown as you would most likely not even notice its existence.

Ways for the owners to improve their food ratings:

Add more ingredients and increase the spiciness of the chili.
