Peruvians take great pride in their national cuisine, and there are many gourmet restaurants to choose from in Lima. One style of food to try in Lima is Peruvian style Chinese food, or Chifa. Peruvians use the word Chifa to refer to Chinese food and Chinese restaurants. This fusion cuisine was developed in the 19th century, when many Chinese immigrants entered Peru and began to incorporate South American ingredients and techniques into their cooking styles. Dishes like Chaufa de Pollo and Chaufa de Carne are examples of this Peruvian style fried rice, created by Chinese Peruvians.
