Lima: Chifa Yiu Tac

But the day ended happily, for we decided to seek out a 'Chifa' or Chinese restaurant. Did you know that some of the best Chinese food in the world outside Asia is to be found in the myriad neighbourhood chifas of Lima? And Yiu Tac in Callao must surely count as one of the very best.
Sweet and Sour Chicken in a tamarind sauce; Chicken Curry; Rice and Noodles with vegetables; Deep-fried Prawns in a fragrant five-spice sauce. yum!
Tomorrow we're back at Lima airport on our way to Ecuador, but watch carefully, for by Saturday night we'll be in a Salsa and Cumbia frenzy. It's all go for a few days!
