Different people enjoy different variations of salads to add to a Bunny Chow. These can be anything from carrot salad to sambals. Personally, I do not like adding salads as can be seen from the video. Many also like to add fruit chutney and some like to add desiccated coconut or coconut cream.

Garnishing on the top is another personal choice. Some coriander leaves (Dhania) always add an authentic look to your bunny.
