About Abhus Salam Rojak

Abhus Salam Rojak has been serving Indian rojak since the 1960s, now operated by the second-generation owner who took over the family business in 1994. Based at Ayer Rajah Food Centre on West Coast Drive, this Muslim-owned stall represents decades of refinement in the art of Indian rojak – the beloved local snack of fried dough fritters, vegetables, boiled eggs, and cuttlefish tossed in sweet-spicy peanut sauce.

The stall's kuah (sauce) earns particular praise for its thickness and spicy kick, distinguishing it from competitors. The recipe balances sweet, spicy, and savoury notes while achieving the right consistency to coat ingredients without becoming watery. Located in the same food centre as Habib's Rojak, Abhus Salam faces direct comparison, with rojak enthusiasts debating the merits of each.

The family business has expanded with Ministry of Rojak outlets at locations like Century Square and Tampines Central, bringing the Abhus Salam recipes to new audiences. This growth demonstrates sustained demand for their particular style of Indian rojak.

For West Coast residents and rojak aficionados, Abhus Salam Rojak represents authentic, time-tested preparations passed down through generations, maintaining traditional standards in Singapore's evolving hawker landscape.

Understanding Halal Status Types in Singapore

Muslim-Owned

The establishment is owned and operated by Muslims. While not formally MUIS-certified, Muslim ownership provides trust as the proprietors are accountable under Islamic principles. Many popular Singapore eateries are Muslim-owned without MUIS certification.

No Pork, No Lard

The establishment does not serve pork or use lard in cooking, but may not have formal halal certification. This is common in food courts where individual stalls have different halal statuses. Always check for a displayed MUIS certificate at each stall.
