For Lunch, I went to the real Sofa Cafe (they are all real, but I went to this one first, so it is the most real to me) in Barranco. I had a Latte and a Lomo Saltado Sandwich.
I had a reservation for my Farewell Dinner at Panchita. My favorite Restaurant. My friend Mel was back from her vacation, so she came with me for her first time there.
After we got settled with drinks and Bread, I ordered the Octopus on a Stick as an Appetizer and let Mel and Carlos (my personal waiter 😎) negotiate the rest of the Meal.
But first, the Octopus. Since I was with a date, they de-sticked it for us.
They decided on Aji de Gallina - a Peruvian classic with shredded Chicken in a not-too-spicy Pepper Sauce and some other Dish (I am not even sure if it is on the menu) that had some Chicken, some Pork, some Papa a la Huancaina and Giant Mutant Corn in some sort of Sauce.
For Dessert, I had to explain to Mel that "there's always room for Queso Helado." She was dubious, but it turned out to be true. Maybe Queso Helado isn't as famous as I think it is... Mel was not the first of my Peruvian friends to have never tried it before.
That was it for the day. Tomorrow is my trip home, but I managed to fit some eating in before crossing the equator.
