Great quality Peruvian cuisine.
Very friendly service;
Reasonably priced;
Highly recommended.
Decor:
Very exotic decor with a lot of Inca style potteries. Widely spaced out tables. Comfortable. Should be pretty good for drinks too.
Lunch menu:
The four of us ordered the lunch buffet plus a main course.
Head chef Eduardo was in charge of the buffet corner. He was extremely friendly and was very willing to explain the dishes to us.
The buffet was comprehensive: Grilled eggplant, grilled pepper, Peruvian rice salad with Cherry tomatoes and purple potato (springy, refreshing), broccoli, beef carpaccio (the girls loved it) and a few other dishes.
We were extremely lucky to have Nekkei Tartare as part of the buffet lunch today. I was about to order it anyway if it wasn't on the buffet menu - that saved me HK$148.
Mushroom soup:
First came the mushroom soup as part of the buffet lunch. Very creamy and had loads of mushroom taste. The dash of dark green liquid seems to be extra Virgin olive oil. Very interesting twist to mushroom soup.Nikkei tuna :
Japanese fusion with Peruvian accent. Fresh tuna with nori, chilli flakes, sweet ginger, a bit of shoyu and probably sesame sauce. Very good. I understand that there used to be a large amount of Japanese in Peru a few decades ago (also in Brazil), which explains the Japanese/Asian influence on dishes. Aji De Gallina (Chicken breasts):
A small quail egg was placed next to the chicken breast- so it's like a Peruvian oyako don ! The sauce appeared to be minced flava bean sauce with a slight hint of curry flavour. To our complete surprise, the chicken breasts were very succulent and tasty with a light citrus taste. Very good. The bed of potatoes beneath the chicken also soaked up all the tastes. Carapulcra (Potato stew with suckling pig):
The suckling pig had crunchy skins with very tender meat. Good. The stew had hints of paprika and other herbs, perhaps nutmeg. The texture of the potato cubes were just right, not too soggy and not too hard. I enjoyed this. Pan Con Chicharron (Pork buns):
The pork belly was a bit dry. The buns were quite sweet and resembled the Japanese buns served in Nagasaki. Those in Nagasaki had stewed pork belles marinated in shoyu. Those here used less shoyu but added chopped shallots instead. Decent.Lomo Saltado Completo (Beef skewers):
Beef skewers with a very interesting Peruvian sauce which seems to be a mixture of cheese, cream and some herbs. I didn't try it cos I don't eat beef. The ladies seemed to like it.Dessert bar:
The dessert bar had a decent selection of desserts, cakes, rice pudding and fruits for the health conscious.The rice pudding was harder than the normal rice pudding I've had before in the west.
The carrot cake was quite delicious.
Conclusion:
We really enjoyed the food here.
The service was friendly and professional.
HK$180 is definitely value for money.
Definitely a place I'd return to.
Good for lunch, dinner and drinks.
Recommended.
