Our Addiction

Before we headed to Chiang Mai, a friend told us that we should try rotee while we were there. She recommended banana and egg. A few days later, we noticed a rotee stand one evening near our hotel, so we stopped to give it a try. There was a big sign advertising (in English) Chocolate and Banana Rotee. We thought heck with banana and egg, we're having banana and chocolate. It turned out to be a great decision; chocolate and banana rotee might just be the most delicious food in the world. First the vendor takes a egg sized piece of dough, and with a practiced flick of the wrist stretches it out until it is paper thin.


The dough is then placed on a sizzling pan with a little butter then folded around a chopped banana.


The square of dough and banana is fried for a few seconds until it is golden. The vendor removes the rotee from the heat, cuts it in bite-sized squares, then drizzles chocolate sauce and sweetened condensed milk over the whole thing. Mmm. . .
