Rojak - meaning a mixture of anything. Sort of a tossed up salad but with ingredients like fried tofu fritters, jicama (a crunchy kind of white turnip) cucumbers and pineapples. It is sprinkled with peanuts and uses a paste that taste sweet and spicy. Often, prawn paste is used. I rarely eat this as the prawn paste and peanuts might trigger a bout of itchiness in me. Most eat this as a snack or to supplement the main meal.

A scene at a hawker centre. They are not air conditioned and could be warm. But that is how the common people eat most of the time.

A white Bee Hoon LaLa & Prawn. Rarely eat this as not as common and also a tad more expensive. Lala is a kind of clam, Venus clam I think. Broth is very tasty. I believe evaporated milk is added to it.

Another packet of black thorn durian from the set I bought. Durian can be very addictive and you need to stuff yourself crazy with it until the craving can be stopped.
