Traditional Indian-Muslim rojak stall with punchy chutney
Soon Heng Rojak is a longstanding hawker stall known for its authentic Indian-Muslim style rojak, a beloved Singaporean street food. The dish combines an assortment of fried dough fritters, tofu puffs, potatoes, and eggs, all drenched in a thick, sweet-spicy chutney made from ground peanuts and chilli. The stall has served generations of locals who treasure its bold, unapologetic flavours.\n\nThe rojak sauce is the heart of the operation, a closely guarded recipe that balances sweet, spicy, and tangy notes in each spoonful. Each ingredient is freshly fried to order, ensuring a satisfying contrast between crisp textures and the lush sauce. A scattering of cucumber and raw mango adds a refreshing crunch that cuts through the richness.\n\nSoon Heng Rojak embodies the enduring appeal of Singapore's hawker tradition, where dedicated vendors perfect a single dish over decades. The stall draws a steady stream of regulars who appreciate the consistent quality and generous portions, making it a fixture in the local food scene and a must-try for visitors seeking an authentic taste of Indian-Muslim rojak.Operating Hours

This is the rojak stall that I'll keep coming back to and craving. On my recent visit, I requested for the chilli to be put aside since my mother-in-law doesn't take chilli. The stall was very accommodating. …

Very nice. Just very very long wait. Crowded kopitiam. Much better value than the neighbouring puny Hougang muah chee ($4) when the portion for this is much bigger with better variety ($4.50).
