The food was excellent and everyone treated the three of us (older women, clearly tourists)very nicely. I took a picture of a gentleman making wontons and would like to send it to him. I need help. The restaurant was on Jr. Union between Av. Jose Maria Eguren and Philipe Pardo – would it be possible for you to locate its name and street address for me?

I haven’t had a chance to check all your entries but want to recommend a wonderful store that features contemporary Peruvian arts/crafts: Dedalo, in the Barranco district. Terrific and not in any of the guidebooks I had. Thanks for any help you can give me on the above. Ellen

It would be great to have someone with experience of eating in China to compare and contrast the food there with Chifa.

@Tom – As you know, the “aeropuerto” is a mix of tallarines (noodles) with arroz chaufa (fried rice). I don’t know the true origen, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it was once a way to use up leftover rice and noodles.

Of course I’ve eaten Chinese food in Beijing and other large cities in China but the mixture of Chinese and Peruvian food makes me curious how the flavor is since I really like Chinese food. The pictures also look great! 😉 I wonder is it really different from the real Chinese food or it entirely different and a different cuisine on its own? Unfortunately, I’m not able to taste this new flavor very soon. But I will definitely keep it in mind when visiting Peru or another country which provides Chifa food.

I’m a great fan of en Peru (and yes, of chifas for that matter) Any insight on where the dish ‘aeropuerto’ comes from on most chifa menus around town?

Another affordable dish besides Arroz Chaufa is Arroz Aeropuerto or Airport Rice =]
