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.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
