Lim Bo 林伯 Fresh Fruits Rojak will be closing its 64 Joo Chiat Place outlet on 15 Oct 2022. Lim Bo 林伯 Fresh Fruits Rojak started out in April 2021 at Sin Ming, which closed down on 16 July 2022. Its new location will opening on 5 Nov 2022 at One Punggol.
In a Facebook post by Lim Bo 林伯 Fresh Fruits Rojak, they mentioned how their Joo Chiat stall was located in an inconvenient location and as a result, the footfall of the coffeeshop they were located in had fallen by 40% over the months.
That, coupled with the rising costs that they had to absorb without increasing their prices, were factors that went into the eventual closure of their Joo Chiat outlet.
Lim Bo 林伯 Fresh Fruits Rojak is known for its Penang-style rojak. The owner, Mr Leong, obtained the recipe from a mobile rojak stall seller of more than 40 years in Kuala Lumpur during a family trip. He made three trips back and forth from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur just to perfect his rojak.
How Mr Leong’s Penang-style rojak differs from the usual Singaporean ones is through its sauce, which is cooked with prawn paste brought in from Penang. He then adds his own crispy prawn fritters. Additionally, the fruits he uses are painstakingly in accordance to their ripeness.
There are three items on the menu: Small Rojak (S$5) has your standard rojak with you tiao. Medium Rojak (S$8) has extra fruits with extra you tiao or prawn fritters. Finally, the Rojak Platter (S$10) includes extra fruits, extra you tiao and prawn fritters.
Mr Leong mentioned that the upcoming outlet will have new items such as Youtiao with Pandan Custard and Rojak Sauce Chee Cheong Fun. Here’s hoping we can contain our excitement till 5 Nov 2022!
