Chifa, the Chinese Peruvian Cuisine You Haven’t Heard About
<p>It was our last night in Mexico City and we were starving and craving something different. Yes, we love tacos al pastor, birria, and mole, but we just wanted to take a break from Mexican food and diversify our palettes for a bit.</p>
<p>A quick search on Google shocked me. There’s a <strong><em>chifa</em></strong><em> </em>restaurant in Mexico City?</p>
<p>Woah! <em>chifa</em>? What the heck is that?</p>
<p>Chifa is a Peruvian culinary tradition that developed due to the mass influx of Chinese immigrants from Guangzhou during the late 19th and 20th centuries. It combines elements of traditional Cantonese cuisine with local Peruvian ingredients. The word actually comes from the Cantonese <em>sik faan </em>食饭, which means <em>to eat</em>.</p>
