Chifa - Peruvianese Food

I have taken a while to post something here. I have been working on the header of this site, so it has a better fresh look. However, here I am bringing you something to eat.

Chifa: name used to refer to the fusion of Limean and Chinese food brought by immigrants from Canton. Also, Chifa is a term used to refer to the type of restaurants in general that prepare this food. When peruvian people crave chinese food, they find any Chifa that brings them a mix of typical flavors from Peru and China. Chifa has gained popularity among the different types of food prepared in Peru and has even achieved international fame. Wherever there are Asian-Peruvians in the world, there is always a Chifa. These restaurants can be found anywhere, however if you are hungry you got to try some. chaufa rice, or fried wantan or chijaikai chicken are good choices, just pick any and bon appetit! (Check below recipe)
