Coy (Guinea Pig)

It seemed they mistakenly left a rat on my plate, a rat fried with other food. But my husband liked it. He said when he will visit Peru again, he will go for it again. (Seems he will have to vist alone!)

If you like Chinese food then you must taste Chifa. In Peru Chinese restaurants are called Chifa. Chinese foods are popular every where. But in Peru it is a bit diffeent and probably the best.

In downtown Lima, on Capon Street, is the barrio chino (Chinatown). The great variety of savory and sweet dishes there, with different types of meats, vegetables, and soups, created a new culinary alternative for Peruvians.
