Rotti

At the night market in Ayutaia, they have all kinds of food to choose from and in the Lonely Planet guide it suggests a Mediterranean dish called Rotti, which we hope was like the Indian roti but we found was not at all. Rotti is a doughy thing filled with your choice of bananas, egg, chicken puree or beef puree, at least at this place. I chose the beef because, well, the meat looked like perhaps it had been sunning its self for a while and may just be a little dodgy. Beef always sounds like the safest bet in these situations. No salmonella, I think? Anyway, they mixed in some Chinese cabbage and some other veggie, fried in the wok and served it up ready cut for you so you don’t have to strain your wrist fumbling with a steak knife or butcher the thing because whatever utensil you have is not sharp enough and so you shred the dough instead of cutting it. Thankfully, the meat was finished and the veggies were nicely cooked and seasoned. It was very good in fact, and I would surely eat it again if I were afforded the opportunity. I gave it 3.5 forks.
