Tung Shui @ Jalan Sisi

我可以大胆地说没有一个马来西亚人会抗拒糖水,毕竟马来西亚的各个角落都有着糖水的足迹，好比说Cendol 或则红豆冰。这一次Muarkaki 想介绍你除了素Rojak之外，另一个下午茶的去处 ：道道地地的传统糖水。这个档子就坐落在Wetex Parade/Classic Hotel 附近，在丝丝街上。

我不晓得这个档口是从那一年就开始营业但我油然记得这是我和我高中朋友很爱捧场的一个地方。这是一个想当年逛完Wetex一圈后必会到访的档子。这个档子总共分成两个部分：老板娘负责糖水，老板则负责炸五香。这里有着各式各样的糖水，比如说绿豆爽，六味，摩摩喳喳，花生汤等。我大多数会点绿豆爽因为我觉得它和其他的糖水不一样且甜度刚好。它不是那种液体状的糖水，反之你还可以细细咀嚼每一颗绿豆。特注：这绿豆爽和你一般喝到的绿豆汤是完完全全不一样的。你能明显地看到一颗颗煮熟了的绿豆的形状。由于这绿豆爽里也加了油条，它可以让你在一碗糖水里有不同层次的味道。除了绿豆爽之外，我也很爱点六味汤或则有些地方会把它称之为‘leng ji kang’但这六味汤里是没有鹌鹑蛋的。我比较喜欢点热的六味汤因为我总觉得六味汤的味道会被融了的冰块稀化了。我也比较爱喝甜甜的六味汤 :P 你可以要求和老板娘要求多加白果，但当然啦，你的六味汤会比较贵点。

渣渣 Bubur Cha Cha

六味白果 Six Combination Soup (Liu Wei Tang)

花生汤 Peanut Soup

绿豆钻 Green Bean Soup (Without Skin)  绿豆汤和绿豆钻的区别在于一个是绿豆连皮而后者是去皮的绿豆煮成的。

炸五香-二人份 RM5.60

I would make an assumption that no one would actually say no to desserts aka tong shui if you are a Malaysian since Malaysia has so manyyyy types of dessert such as cendol and ais-kacang. Hence, Muarkaki would like to introduce you with another tea-time option again after vegetarian Rojak which is a typical Chinese dessert stall near Wetex Parade/Classic Hotel, Jalan Sisi.

I’m not sure when did this stall exist but what I remember is it was there ever since I was young and also I like to come here with my highschool friends whenever we done shopping at Wetex. This stall sells two types of food: Tong-shui and deep fried stuffs. There are various types of tong shui selection, such as mung bean desserts (aka dao suan), Liu Wei, Bubur Cha Cha, peanut paste and etc. (Please have a look at the menu provided below). Most of the time I will order dao suan because this is kinda different from any other tong shui I ever had and the sweetness is just nice. It is not something watery yet you can chew on every single piece of green bean. Fyi, this dao suan is totally different from green bean soup that you always have. You can really see the shape of cooked green bean. Besides, this dessert is served with fritters! You can get a different taste within the same dessert. My second favourite tong shui is the liu wei or so-called ‘leng ji kang’ in other places. However, what differentiate this liu wei from ‘leng ji kang ‘is it doesn’t contain quail egg. I like to have it hot instead of cold because I feel that ice cubes would dilute its original taste and I like to have it sweet :P You could also request for more ginkgo with additional charges.

这个档口的另一个特色当然就是我之前提过的炸五香。当然，这里的炸五香里就有鱼丸，虾饼，芋头糕，豆腐及鱼饼。你可以选择自己亲自挑选或则你可以直接和老板说你想点几人份或多少钱 (RM5/6/7 等)的炸五香。我大多数都会直接和老板说，两人份的炸五香因为一，我不用自己选；二，老板也会酌量地帮你准备两人份全部都有(鱼丸啊，虾饼啊，豆腐啊等)的炸五香。对了，这些炸五香搭配上辣椒酱的话可说是绝配啊！老板多数会准备每人一碟辣椒酱因为他知道这是最棒的搭配。

The other signature of this stall is the deep fried items as per mentioned above. Yes, what kind of deep fried stuffs they have? There are fish ball, prawn cutlet, yam cake, tofu and fish cake.  You can either ‘mix and match’ by your ownself or you can straight away from the uncle boss that how many person eating or how much would you like to have (i.e RM 5/6/7 etc). What I usually do is just tell the uncle that I wanted to 2 people’s portion and hence, I would get the variety choices of all items :D Oh yes, its superb to eat all these deep fried food with the chili!! The uncle will usually give each person a small little of chili because he knows this would be the best way to eat the food with.

由于这档口是刚好坐落在彩虹酒店停车尾出口的角落，所以它只供应有限的座位给各个食客们。所以啊，你必须付出一点耐心来等待座位。你也可以选择在档口前一排座位。因此，许多食客会比较喜欢外带，但请别把车泊在档口前面因为汽车引擎的热度会直接影响坐在档口前排的食客。在此先谢谢各位的合作！

Since this stall is located at the corner of the carpark exit from Pelangi Hotel, it only has limited spot for dine-in customers. Hence, please take a little more patience to wait for the seat or you could always take the seats in front the stall. Most of the customers would choose to dabao back home and eat but PLEASE keep in mind that, don’t stop in front of the stall and wait. The car’s engine is pretty heaty and it would eventually affect customers who are sitting in front of the stall. Thanks for your consideration in advance!

这里绝对找得到传统道地的糖水。

This is definitely an authentic Chinese Tong-Shui place at your choice!

stt对老板的两人份五香的分量给吓坏了，如果你食量不大，还是劝你挑自己想吃的。

Rojak @ Sg. Abong

啰喏是马来西亚的特色小吃。你总是能够在马来西亚的各个城市看到属于啰喏的档子。对啰喏的刻板印象是许许多多本地水果配搭上花生碎，鱿鱼，豆腐卜，虾膏等酱料。我个人是没有很爱这种水果啰喏,因为总觉得水果加虾膏酱的味道是有点重有点甜。我是比较喜欢麻坡这一家标榜着素的啰喏.

何谓素啰喏？那就是啰喏里摒除了虾膏的成份。你可能会担心啰喏 若只单凭黑酱油的味道的话，它会否会变淡。那你不妨来尝看看麻坡Sg. Abong 住家式的素啰喏.

Rojak is one of the local delights in Malaysia. You could easily and simply find one Rojak stall in any parts of Malaysia. What’s the typical Rojak you can think of? Fruits with crushed peanuts, cuttlefish, bean curd puffs and shrimp paste? I don’t really like Rojak with fruits, well simply because I think fruits with shrimp paste tasted too sweet and it had a strong scent for me. I preferably like to go for Muar’s vegetarian Rojak.

You might wonder what means by vegetarian Rojak? It simpy means Rojak without shrimp paste. Don’t worry about the rojak without the particular sauce would be tasteless. Just give it a try for this Sg Abong’s Rojak.  

有时候，单看着老板切水果和搅拌rojak的过程也是一门艺术了

想必很多麻坡人都知道这里。而很多人都第一印象是：那不是要等很久？对啦，老板的生意，尤其是在周末下午时段时真的很好。首先，你会看到店外面有着一排沿着水沟而泊的车；再来你会看到3－4个人围着一个光头老板，耐心地等待外带的啰喏。

这里的素啰喏里头有着黄梨（有些人称之为凤梨），黄瓜，豆薯（Google Translate 说的，我个人是叫它Mang Kwang)，豆芽，蕹菜，花生碎，油条及豆腐卜。好吧，它还是混搭着一样水果，但是黄梨的酸甜足以调和酱料的甜。哦对了，你可以选择辣或者原味。你若是一个偏爱吃辣的人，那你可以和老板说：“加辣”。那老板就会在你的啰喏里额外加上小辣椒。我最最喜欢的啰喏组合是“全部都要除了黄瓜和茫瓜”，对不起，我就是一个对黄瓜say no 的人。别看这一盘好像很单调很无味，但当你吃下去满满淋上酱料的豆芽和蕹菜时，你会觉得很甜；当你吃下黄梨时，你会觉得微酸；当你吃到油条和豆噗时，它们就把刚刚那两种味道调和了。或许黄瓜和茫瓜也有一定的独特口感和味道，但我就不晓得啦，哈哈。

Most of the Muarians are probably aware of this Rojak place, and their first impression would be: oh my god, isn’t it need to wait very long? Yes, you need to be patient for the wait. The business is really good on Weekends’ afternoon and it is clearly shown by the long queue of car parking along the drain and also 3-4 customers surrounding a bald man, patiently waiting for their food.

There’re several items that you could be found from the Rojak, ie: Pineapple, cucumber, yam bean (Google translate called it so, I named it as Mang Kwang), bean sprout, water spinach, crushed peanuts, fried breadstick (aka yaw zha kuay) and also bean curd puffs. This vegetarian Rojak still comes with a single type of fruit: pineapple, but the sweet & sour of it is just nice to cover up the sweetness of the black soy sauce. Oh yes, you can definitely choose to eat it with its original taste or even with the spicy sauce. If you always crave for something spicy, then you could tell the boss : “Add chilli”. He will then add 1-2 chilli padi(S) in your Rojak portion. My favourite rojak combination will be “All in except cucumber and yam bean”, sorry guys, I just don’t like the cucumber taste. Do not have the perception that this Vege Rojak would be tasteless or even not savoury enough for you. Definitely no. When you eat the bean sprout and water spinach with the full amount of sauce, you will feel sweet; this sweetness will eventually covered up by your pineapple. All flavours will nicely balanced off by fried breadstick (aka yaw zha kuay) and bean curd puff. Isn’t that a perfect combination? Perhaps cucumber and yam bean could have brought their unique taste to the Rojak, but that I don’t know. You shall explore it then.

炸菜饼配上辣椒酱

如果你觉得单单吃啰喏很单调，而且你是比较喜欢同时间享受其他食物的话，你可以尝尝那里的炸菜饼或则炒猪肠粉。我是觉得这两者都较普及化，和一般我们吃到的大同小异。坦白说，吃完啰喏后是一定会口渴的，可能是因为吃了花生碎和黑酱油的关系。你有两个饮料的选项：仙草水或红豆冰。这两者都是你耳闻能详的，所以仙草水能稍微止渴，红豆冰能解凉，你选哪个呢？

炎热的午后，微风吹过的下午，如果你想在晚餐前找份小吃解馋，啰喏可以是你其中之一的选项。

If you love to look for varities and would get sick of just Rojak only, then you can order the fried veggie cutlets or fried rice flour rolls (zhu chang fen). Both items are pretty common at Muar and the taste do not deviate much from any other stalls. Nothing special on them. You will definitely thirsty after eating your Rojak and you have two solutions on your hand: Cincau or Ice Kacang. Both are very local and typical. You want Cincau to partially quench the thirst OR Ice Kacang to relieve the heat?

If you look for snacks to eat before dinner during a hot and sunny after, Rojak could be listed on your what-to-eat list then.
