Peruvian Food at It’s Best

When someone asks if you like a type of food always be willing to go and try it. That’s my philosophy in life. I once took a friend to Indian food after he insisted over and over he isn’t a fan of it. Guess what. He liked it. 

So when my coworker asked if I liked Peruvian food I automatically said yes let’s go. 

No regrets! It was amazing. 

I had him order my dishes. I wanted to get the right experiences. Be sure to always do that too. When someone takes you to a new place to try have them order for you. They usually pick the specialty items. 

So it started off with ceviche. I usually had it with shrimp never a white fish. It was delicious. He then ordered  Papa a la Huancaína which is their yellow potatoes with chicken salad. You think the potatoes will be warm but it’s chilled and soft. 

Then my main dish was delicious.

Tacu Tacu a lo pobre. Which is skirt steak with plantains and a rice bean mixture that is refried topped with an egg. Comfort food to the max. 

For dessert Picaones. Which is

their traditional donuts . Sweet potatoes and pumpkin. They were so light. Not greasy at all. Served with a dipping glaze. 

Amazing! 

Food is about experience. Feelings. Culture. It’s so many things than just eating because you’re hungry.
