Enjoyed watching MasterChef Singapore Season 2 Finals, where contestant Leon Lim made this Rojak Roll with Churro as his winning appetiser dish? Now, you can actually taste this in real life, with the chef himself making this dish right in front of you!

The Rojak Roll with Churro (S$14.90 for 2 pairs) was a combination of the Vietnamese roll with the key ingredients for Rojak wrapped in Vietnamese rice paper, and a stick of freshly-fried Churro (resembled a Youtiao but with a crunchy texture). The Rojak sauce was packed separately and could be dipped or poured over, but I would guess that pouring under would give myself more control to how much umami I would prefer with every bite. For sure, the roll was refreshing both in taste and in texture, but of course I wouldn’t think anyone would reject more chopped peanuts to improve on crunch and fragrance.

Although this was a wonderful creation that debuted during the culinary competition and recreated by Leon himself, I strongly believed that he would not be standing behind the counter for the rest of his life making the roll for his customers. Maybe, this would also bring about a new wave of local-inspired reinvented hawker dishes in our local food scene. But for now, this would make a novel snack for those who loved the concept.
