Another “good old taste” stall is located in Subang Jaya and it has been operated for more than 20 years in the same spot. Why do most of their customers willing to wait patiently for their rojak? It is because this rojak is crunchy and flavourful as it enriches a sweet, spicy, and slightly nutty taste. The essential ingredients include shredded cucumber, potatoes, bean curd, crispy prawn fritters, yam bean and topped with a thick and creamy nutty sauce. Even though these ingredients are soaked in sauce, it remains their crunchy and flavourful taste.

Address: W-10-00 Business Park Subang Square West Wing Jalan SS15/4G, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor
