Achar

I've always loved tis singapore salad~Achar. Its always served with chicken rice or malay rice. There's a nonya version which i finds too sour, still prefers the wan where mum used to buy from upper serangoon old market during my childhood days. Well, ever since the old market got demolished, we've lost touch with delicious achar.
I bought a small serving for a dollar last sunday, found it too ex & not tasty. Decided to make my own version today & my total ingredient costs less than $2.
