In my previous post, I talked about the various types of raw food and almost raw food that can be found at the night markets. Think that’s it? Noooo. There’s more.

Hubby loves coconut juice and I love sugar cane juice. And both these fresh raw juices can be found at the night markets. In the picture, the juice in the white bottles are fresh coconut juice, and the ones in the green bottles are the freshly juiced sugar cane juice.

It’s not the same stall as the one shown above, but boy,
they do look alike don’t they?

Fresh raw sugar cane do not store well for long due to the large amount of sugar in the juice. Therefore, it has to be consumed quickly. And since it doesn’t store very well, you can bet the juice you drink is really, really fresh. The one thing I’m not crazy about is the plastic bottles. They do serve up with paper cups too, and that’s what I normally request for. I’m going to go a bit further now and will try to start to bring my own water bottle, and will ask them to fill that instead to reduce land waste.

rojak_stall

Hubby loves rojak. There are many versions of rojak, and the one he loves the most is the classic all raw fruit salad topped with thick gooey black sauce (probably cooked sauce) and sprinkled with toasted chopped peanuts . Recently, we flew to the enchanting Penang Island and there, he ordered 3 plates of rojak, from 3 different food stalls at Gurney Drive … at one sitting. Can you tell how much he enjoys this dish? If you want to butter him up, just buy a plate of the best rojak around for him. LOL
