Indonesia Mix Fruit Salad (Rujak)

Me in front of  'Rujak Stand' (Gerobak Tukang Rujak) on the street
Rujak or Indonesia Mix Fruit Salad is one of the most popular light dishes in Indonesia.  
The man who sale it, we called him 'Tukang Rujak" *please see the pic. You can find Tukang Rujak anywhere on the street (busy street or small street). Indonesian usually eat Rujak after they eat lunch, or make it as a light bite in the afternoon. Rujak consist with any tropical fruit (Nanas, Jambu, Bangkuang, Ubi, Pepaya, etc), you can even make special request by choose which fruit you want to add. 

What makes Rujak so special??
Guess what makes Indonesian love it is because of the sauce, it's a spicy sauce and it's definitely healthy. The sauce made from; traditional Indonesia brown sugar (gula merah), hot chili, crush peanut and water. All the ingredients blend together. It's so yummy! Fresh & Spicy!!

The price of Rujak around IDR 5.000 - 8.000 (USD 5.00 - 8.00) if you buy it on the street, the price could goes up if you buy it at the Food Court inside the Malls.
