Orang Hock Rojak 黑人罗惹, Bukit Mertajam

---

Orang Hock Rojak (GPS: 5.36282, 100.46068), (Penang Hokkien: Or3 Lang2 Lojak1; Traditional/Simplified Chinese: 黑人罗惹) is the oldest and most famous rojak stall in the heart of Bukit Mertajam town. The name translates literally as the "prosperous black man" rojak. It is located at Restoran Chiap Hong, the green-coloured coffee shop at the intersection of Jalan Bunga Raya with Jalan Pasar.

Orang Hock Rojak is across Jalan Bunga Raya from the Bukit Mertajam Pek Lang Rojak Stall (Penang Hokkien: Pek₃ Lang₂ Loh₁ Jak₁) and diagonally across is Rojak Orang Hitam Putih (Penang Hokkien: Or₃ Pek₃ Lang₂ Loh₁ Jak₁). Together, these three rojak stalls monopolise the rojak business in the heart of town.

Which is the best? To be fair, I have only tried Orang Hock Rojak. According to my friend, a local, this is the best. I have not tried the others, but I have to say that Orang Hock Rojak is really good. It even sells its rojak sauce. However I found that rojak in Bukit Mertajam is surprisingly not cheap. But on the other hand, the portion is quite large compared to rojak on Penang Island.

Getting there

From the Bukit Mertajam Market, walk south on Jalan Pasar until you reach the crossroad, with Jalan Bunga Raya, and Jalan Teh Cheok Sah straight ahead. Restoran Chiap Hong is on your left.
