When it comes to pasembor stalls in George Town, one of the most acclaimed choices is Union Street Famous Kareem Pasembor Rojak. The stall is just across the street from Maybank. There are additional dining tables in the alley next to the bank.
Kareem Pasembor Rojak is operated by an Indian-Muslim family who has been running the stall since 1945. Customers can choose individual ingredients from the à la carte menu, or simply order “Pasembor Campur” for the default composition.
Pasembor Campur is priced at RM4.50 and RM8.00 for small and large servings respectively. The standard dish typically contains cucur udang (prawn fritters), fishcakes, hard-boiled eggs, tofu, boiled potatoes, bean sprouts, shredded sengkuang (jicama) and shredded cucumber. The snack comes with sweet and spicy peanut sauce as dressing.
Kareem Pasembor Rojak is often packed with customers. It is difficult to find a seat during peak hours. Having said so, the stall owner is actually quite friendly. As with most roadside stalls, the hygiene here is always questionable.
