100 BEST ’14: ROJAK at PASAR MALAM

SADLY, PASAR MALAM IS NOW CLOSED.

Rojak at PASAR MALAM

Fruit salads usually instill a sense of fear, but the Malaysians do it right. This crazy salad is a savory and sweet bowl of crunchy fruit and vegetables (pineapple, green mango, jicama, apple, and cucumbers) tossed alongside slices of fried bread that are softened by a tangy dressing of shrimp paste and textured with peanuts and sesame seeds. Price: $8
