If u wanna explain what a rojak is, it can be explained as small cut fruits coated with a special malaysian fruit sauce (usually it is hot n somehow sweet) and sprinkled with blended peanut. Usually u have

yam bean-sengkuang
Cucumber
Guava (Jambu Batu)

Jambu Air
Pineapple


and my favourite- still very young, very green Mango

My sister managed to send me the Kuah rojak with the guests who came to our house a month ago. Of course, it will be nice to have all those fruits (sengkuang n cucumber-r they fruits?) together with the kuah rojak.. for me, it will be heavenly..in fact, i prefer just kuah rojak n mango...even as i am writing this now, terliur sendiri sendiri hehehe

Instead of all those fruits, i could only come up with this...

Yup..my version of rojak in istanbul..sliced green apples (granny smith apple), cucumber and carrot!!! hahahahahahah i looked for a mango in migros (a supermarket) but the ones they have there were like..sooooooo unappetising..i decided against buying it . i have been trying to drag halil to carrefour for almost a month now.. they sell mango n pineapple there...all to no avail. The rojak sauce will expire in a week or two.. i suppose i will just have to delete the thoughts of mango n pineapple in my rojak..and just settle for cucumber n carrot instead.. hehehhe..that's pathetic simah really pathetic heheheheheh

The mango picture reminded me of halil's story. It was the after the first time we met. Halil was flying back to istanbul but he had to transit in bangkok for i think 12 hours or perhaps more. Hence, he decided to take a city tour in bangkok to pass the time. Do u know what he did during the tour?? he slept!! Anyway, back to the mango story. It was noon n he was getting hungry. Not confident that the food in bangkok was halal, he decided against eating anything. It was then he saw a street seller selling manggo. Halil loves mango. So he bought it.. It was green n the guy sprinkled salt on top of the green mango. Halil tasted it n...yikessssssss.. let us just say that the mango met its demise inside the rubbish bin!! heheheh it never crossed his mind that people eat mango while they r unripe. His idea of mango was the yellow, sweet juicy mango.. I personally prefer the green mango..see the difference in culture?? U can bet it was an experience halil did not forget...eating green mango! :0)
