Rolex

Rolex is a chapati roll with fried eggs stuffed in, accompanied with fresh vegetable salad.

All this time our rolex has always been a humble meal; a taste best savoured around suburbs by those who, if not out of time to prepare a decent meal, are out of money to do as much. […] To spice up the event, a dish of well-manicured and half-piece (half-piece!) rolexes was ushered in.

A welcome, if humble, addition to Kampala's edible offerings is the 'rolex'. This is nothing more (or less) than a freshly cooked chapati enhanced by a fresh omelette, chopped onions, green peppers and finely sliced cabbage.

An omelette fried and rolled up in a chapati (Indian flatbread), rolex is excellent food on the go, and a firm breakfast favourite on the streets of Kampala, where it's often still served in a roll or cone of newspaper.
