As a Chinese guy living in Peru, I went hunting for AUTHENTIC Chinese food in Lima 🇨🇳🇵🇪 Peru has its own Chinese-Peruvian food called chifa, and it's everywhere. But can you find real Chinese food? We go to San Borja for yum cha (har gow, char siu bao, lo mai gai), I give my honest opinion on chifa (no hate, Peru!), then explore Barrio Chino, the biggest Chinatown in Latin America... with no Chinese people?
Part of our Peru series: me and Kaede spent 2 months living and travelling in Peru. Next episode: we leave Lima for the mountain town of Churín.
