By TajUgandan Food3 min readNo, it is not a watch. A rolex is a freshly made chapati rolled around a fried egg omelette with cabbage, tomato and onion. The name comes from “rolled eggs”, said fast.
You will find rolex stands on almost every corner in Kampala. The best ones are the ones with a queue. Watch the cook: the chapati goes onto the hot pan, the eggs are whisked and fried, and the two meet in a couple of seconds of expert wrist work.
If you only eat one thing in Uganda, make it a rolex from a stall with a line.
Add chilli sauce if you dare. Many guests tell me their first rolex is their favourite meal of the trip, and we always stop for one on the Kampala food experience.
