Day 1 in Lima

It's 11pm and my day is finally coming to an end! Dios mios, what a day. On top of the travel to here which was documented previously, I also did two tours and walked around two neighbourhoods on my own.

The first tour brought me from my neighnourhood of Miraflores to Centro Lima where we visited many museos y catedrals (museums and cathedrals). We visited the Plaza San Martin which commemorates the Argentinian born liberator of Peru from the Spanish dominance in 1821. Many of the war museums we visited pay hommage to the fallen generals and procers (influencers) who fought against the Spaniards and their fierce ennemies, the Chileans. I'm sure happy that I didn't wear the jersey Julie-Anne got me as I would of been either beaten, robbed or overcharged!!

We ate a traditional meal of pollo a la brasa, papa fritas and ensalada fresca. Basically, chicken cooked over braises, fries and salad. The sauces they provided were something else, one was corn based and the other was made of hot peppers. Very tasty.

We then sampled some chicha, which is traditional fermented corn beer that the Inca priests used to drink to speak to the spirits! It was quite tasty...not very hygenic though (see pictures below).

Super tasty...not very sanitary...

We visited a few parks as well, some had 400 year old olive groves, which were planted by the Spanish, some parks were commemorative of other heroes and occasions. I walked from my hotel to Parque Kennedy which was built in honour of JFK.

This sums up the first tour, I then camr back to the hotel, explored Miraflores, gathered some supplies ( water as the tap water isn't drinkable, Inca Kola which is a local delicacy that tastes like cream soda and sun screen/after sun as I got a nasty burn on my neck).

The night tour was to see the beautiful illuminated fountains of Lima, this was built 10 years ago and is a major attraction in Lima. I usually like to explore but I'm happy that I had a guide to explain things, had the timing down to perfection for each fountain and helped by taking my picture. They dropped me off in Barranco, which is known for it's nightlife. I found a nice restaurant that served antichucho, which is basically braised meat and/or vegetables skewers with a side of potatoes and white corn. Once again, very delicious.

I walked around for a while but it hit me that I had barely slept and that I should rest up so I taxied back to the hotel and enjoyed some well deserved sleep!

“Antichucho (skewered beef hearts)Finger foods tend to be messy, so luckily antichucho only comes out at night. “It’s pretty much a skewer of beef heart with potatoes,” says Seidler. “It’s grilled, so you have a lot of flavor from the flames and aromas of the barbecue.” Of course, this dish is nothing without its sticky, spicy peanut sauce, and it’s among the cheaper Bolivian eats at about $1 a skewer.“

Food Encounters in Peru

Antichuchos - grilled beef meat served on baked potato underneath. The meat was so tender, juice, and grilled to medium. The potato is a Peruvian staple, served with almost every meal. Can also ask for corns as an additional side. 

Fresh juices! My favorite part about Peru.

Chocolate Caliente Especo - dense and creamy hot chocolate, with the perfect sweetness. Dip churros in them, ah perfecto!

Pollo a la Brasa - best chicken ever! tender and juicey, and served with the yellowest fries that I've ever ate. 

Chicha - cold drink made from purple corn. yummy! 

Ceviche - fresh, raw fish soaked in lime juice. Never thought I would like it (usually not a big fan of raw foods), but it was delicious. Tastes very different from the raw seafoods from sushi.

Quail eggs - hot-boiled quail eggs, makes the perfect healthy snack.

Quinoa soup - quinoa + potatos + carrots. simple and yummy.

Trout - fish! 

Api with Empanada - Api is the hot version of chicha (cold drink made from purple corn). I think I like api more than chicha... maybe because the weather was freezing that day, so it was very comforting to have a warm drink.

Alpaca grilled - the aplaca steak was very tender and juice, without lamb stinky smell, and tastes like pork meat. It was okay, I enjoyed it, but didn't love it.

Nestle's Peruvian chocolate

Aguadito de Pollo - cheap chicken soup full of MSG, but damn it was delicious. Very simple... just broth, noodles, a large piece of chicken breast, and few carrots.

Pisco Sour - cocktail blended with pisco (grape brandy), lime juice, sugar/syrup, egg whites (gives the drink it's foamy texture on top). It's very strong, and a must try Peruvian drink.

Lomo Saltado - the national dish of Peru. It tastes very much like Chinese stir-fry, and the sauce is soy sauce as well. The only thing that makes it different from Chinese food is that it's always served with french fries. 

Picarones - deep-fried dessert made with sweet potato, and served with syrup on top. It's not overly crispy nor greasy. Texture is like that of a fried dough. I find them addicting.

Lucuma Milkshake - Lucuma is the native fruit of Peru. But since June wasn't the season for Lucuma, try their milkshake (or ice cream) was the best option. It had a pecan-kind of nutty taste, hard to describe.

Tamarillo fruit - has a very refreshing taste, but not much flavor to it. Tastes like pear to me, but with a much softer texture. I find the seeds very annoying to eat. 

Brick Oven Baked Empanada - I ate 3 of them in one setting, with a full stomach. They were that amazing.

Cuy (guinea pig) - guinea pig as a dish - traditional food of Peruvian. Usually served as a whole with the head too, so I wasn't brave enough to try it. 

Chicharon - Fried pork with mint leaves, onions, baked potato, and corn. Eat all the ingredients together in one bite, and you will finally know what delicious means.

Papitas - Fried potato with meat inside. Served with lettuce and shredded cheese as a side. It was yummy, and only 1 sole! But both my friend and I got very irritated bowels shortly after.
