8 delicious must-tries at Cocina Peruvia


Much like Filipino food, Peruvian cuisine is greatly defined by influences from its past colonizers and immigrants from Spain, Italy, China, Japan, and Africa. The locals just put in their own signature on it through the use of indigenous ingredients like corn, tubers, and legumes, among others. And you can get a taste of its distinct flavors—without traveling thousands of miles—through Cocina Peruvia.

“We decided to bring Peruvian food here since there aren’t a lot in the country. It’s interesting because it tastes familiar,” disclosed Mia Teng, Marketing Assistant. Many don’t know that Peru has an enormous coastline so a big part of their culinary DNA is seafood, and the restaurant has delicious offerings that highlight the bounty of the sea. Instead of exotic Peruvian fare like guinea pig, you’ll find more recognizable flavors, which is enough to satisfy your curiosity for this cuisine. Here are our top must-tries.
