    • 2016 August 20, Peter Kagayi, “The curious case of the rolex”, in Daily Monitor:
      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.
    • 2016, Philip Briggs, Uganda:
      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.
    • 2018, Lonely Planet's Ultimate Eats:
      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.
