I started off Saturday by walking around the corner to a hole-in-the-wall Coffee shop -- Coffee Time Espresso Bar. It's tiny, but every time I passed it, there were a couple of people sitting out front, drinking Coffee.
I ordered a Cappuccino and an Empanada.
This Empanada was filled with Aji de Gallina, which is Shredded Chicken in a slightly spicy Sauce. Empanadas in Peru are Baked, not Fried, so they are extra-wonderful.
Ed and I then went to the Food Festival at the Surquillo Mercado, where we each had a Rocoto Relleno. I also had a Causa stuffed with Crab Meat and Shrimp, and Ed had a Papa Rellena.
I was on my own for Dinner. In Peru, they do reality shows about different types of Foods. The winner of the Anticucho (Beef Hearts on a stick) shown won enough money ($30,000) to open his own hole-in-the-wall restaurant, Anticuchos Bran (you can read all about it in Spanish by CLICKING HERE).
Literally, a hole-in-the-wall. They raise the gate, and inside is a restaurant. No door or anything. Just a gate.
They have three things on the menu: Beef Hearts, Chicken, or Pork. On a stick. I got the classic Beef Hearts.
Ed and I were out gambling pretty late, so when I was hungry at 1:30 in the morning, I went to La Salsa Sangucheria, which would have to upgrade to have a wall with a hole. Think of a Fod Truck without wheels. Here's a couple of photos from their Facebook page.
But open they were, and I had a Pork Sandwich back at the apartment, and it was delicious.
That's it for the day.
