I have only tried Peruvian cuisine in a Japanese-Peruvian restaurant in The Podium Mall and at One Bonifacio.. What I took away from the experience was that I learned that Peruvians love their tubers ie potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, etc. and that Peruvian Cuisine is a melting pot of influences as far as Africa and Europe.
Yesterday, we tried the following dishes at CUCINA PERUVIA
Ceviche Mixto P290
A mixed seafood dish that we were told was classic Peruvian. Reminiscent of our local kilawin, it is important that the seafood used is fresh. In the case of Cucina Peruvia, it was
Chupe de Pescado P300
Per Wiki, Chupe is a generic term in South America, which means stew. Reminded me of delicious bouillabaise, that creamy and sinful French stew with chunks of seafood.
Linguine Con Carbonara P280
The other dishes were quite delicious and flamboyant, I almost forgot to taste the linguine. It was good with a generous dollop of thick white sauce . Best eaten hot.
Pollo A La Brasa (Grande) P750

Pollo A La Brasa (Grande) P750
Literally "grilled chicken", CUCINA PERUVIA'S fowl was juicy, succulent , meaty and flavorful. Order grande size if you are a family. Pair it with their green rice Arroz Verdo Con Pollo
Adobo Peruvia P400
This is the owner's favorite so I had to try it. The slices of pork are tender. There is the play of sour and sweetness. It was really good. So be ready to order cups of steamed plain rice with this.

ANTICUCHOS DE CORAZON DE VACA P320
Anticuchos "cut stew meat" is apparently a street food. The heart of the Vaca is marinated in vinegar and other spices. I thought the texture would be weird. But guess what , it tasted just like the regular beef we are familar with.
PIZZA VERDE P390
Cucina Peruvia had me at home-made pizza dough. Surprisingly good

Overall, CUCINA PERUVIA provides a sneak peek into what awaits us if ever we find ourselves in the Land of the Incas. Good thing too, because Macchu Picchu is in our bucket list of 1000 places to visit before we die.
Do order their chicken and that green rice... scrumptious. The adobo is worth the mention as well . It was at once familiar and yet different from our local version. Both make you want to order cups of rice haha.
I had to leave early so I missed the unlimited cocktails which are available from 5 -8 pm daily and the gorgeous chocolate dessert.
Oh well Im definitely returning anyway for a second visit with the handsome hubby and piggery in tow
Check them out and let me know how it turns out for you.
Must Visit Place to enjoy tasty food. The taste was just yum!! And also I order food from this place through Zomato at discounted price. Must try!!
