Dad's Rojak Kedondong

Mom cooks all the food at home, but Dad makes his specialty for relatives this Lunar New Year.

Well, Dad's specialty is Rojak Kedondong. It's relatively simple, compared to the complicated dishes that Mom cooks.

First, pluck the kedondong fruit from the tree and then wash. Peel the skin and grate the flesh into a bowl. Then spoon some rojak paste into the bowl and mix well. Optionally, sprinkle some chopped peanuts and serve immediately.

It's very appetising because the fruit itself, sour and crunchy, is complemented with the sweet and spicy rojak paste.

The relatives loved it as it was rather refreshing after a whole day of consuming rich cakes and cookies so common in every household.
