Peruvian cuisine 🇵🇪

This restaurant serves authentic dishes from Peru (according to them).

What we had:
+ Ceviche\Zesty raw fish for Appetizer
+ Cochinillo con Arroz\Suckling pork with Rice (Christmas menu) for Main
+ Parihuela\Seafood soup with crab meat for Side

Seafood was very fresh and the service was great too. For the price tag, the portion could be bigger tho. 🥹

Street food festival: Peruvian rice pudding

Familiar flavours from cinnamon and their unique unrefined cane sugar, texture was like a starchy pudding, quite thick and not that soft. But the unseasoned coconut flakes were really terrible, make sure you mix extremely well before you eat.

The milk sauce, coconut cake all came tgt, and the thick layer of cream rounded out the cake. Not soggy either, just nicely moist

Perfection, for ppl who like moist cakes

Small portion but generous on seafood, and quite good quality too. However, I can't even tell how intense the seafood base is cos it's too tomatoey and wayyyyyy too sour

Hope it's a mistake but this was borderline inedible

Beef tenderloin was decent, however one or two pieces had sinews or sth they were harder to bite though. The sauce was intense and interesting, they say there's red wind and dark soy but the complexity was insane, I don't believe it's only those 2 things. I tasted Chinese preserved black soybean notes. There's also capers? which weren't v strong, adding to the complexity

Worth a try if you're here
