Should I set forth with the good or the bad news first? Personally, I have always loved to pick up the bad news prior to the good ones. Anyways, I have been really ill since last Tuesday and I don't remember being this ill ever before. It just started with me controlling my bladder one fine morning as I was…
Rojak (Malaysian and Singaporean spelling) or Rujak (Indonesian spelling) is a traditional fruit and vegetable salad dish commonly found in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. There are non vegetarian salads too, like in this recipe. The term "Rojak" means a "mix".
