alright guys it's time for lunch we're here in Lima and today we are having
food from the jungle you know the Amazon how exciting it's been a while it has
been a while the last time we had that was when we were in Iquitos almost two
years ago and we've been craving some of these things like one a into kitchen
what's the other one cats the cats has just escaped my mind anyways we're here
with family and we're going for a big group meal and it should be really
exciting they've picked out a nice restaurant and yeah let's go in and
enjoy it's right behind us it looks a bit like a hut and it is called give me
a second el encanto amazonica which means the
Amazonian chances so yeah let's go eat some junk
all right so we are inside the restaurant yes we are whole fam the
whole family yay laughs and which is awesome it getting settled in hey we got
complimentary alkaline I already forget the name you ready I remember that I
believe it's my child yeah and it's supposed to be like a
great race the cure yeah smells nice
Loosli it's very sweet yeah quite refreshing too and yet we haven't even
decided what we're gonna order yet but we're already enjoying some drinks I
know the menu that's pretty cool check it out cheaply so these are called
cheapness and they brought us a sauce this is a Healy Kaukauna
and coke ona is a fruit that you find in the jungle so here you have a bit of the
fruit you also have some red onion oh and a he which makes it spicy so Georgia
so let's try bit of that that may be too much spice we'll see how it goes
it's like don't it's like jungle salsa oh I'm gonna like that side I do want
more you made a cringy face and then you want
more that's pretty close moving on to the drink we're going to the drink so
your relatives ordered some chicha Morada which is the purple corn drink
here in Peru and it's one of my favorites is so refreshing this however
I do not believe it's a drink from the jungle because it requires forms them
inviting the sofa yeah from the Amazon sofa is fried right I honestly feel
guilty because we're gonna be sharing this with your mom and she's waiting
patiently correct so what is in this shower from the Amazon can you tell okay
so it looks like we have some different meat and vegetables in here we have some
egg on top mm-hmm and then we have like the fried plantain which is Maduro says
yeah I might actually do it as Fritos so I'm going to actually try that first
yeah
so good it's so sweet it's almost like happy to start off with and I'm gonna
try the rice now with the meat your rice has two different kinds of meat you have
chorizo and you have Sistina which is the the dry pork meat I think I just
tried the chorizo yeah I can see chunks of Scecina in there near the back as
well then the last thing for me to try here are the beans from Blaine good
stuff and this is my Athena over here super tasty I like how like most of it
is savory but then the plantains give you a little bit of sweetness so it's
nice to alternate between the two flavors
oh he's forget to tell you that I'm trying a drink for the first time I've
had pisco sour of course but liver hi camel camel sour yeah and that is
a jungle brute yep so let's try it
Wow let's go quite a strong flavor the sweet sour any with it that is sweet
I think it's one of those these flavors that like will grow on me after a little
while but I was trying to go it's pretty tasty it's refreshing but I I do prefer
a pisco sour yeah I get the feeling pisco sours they're more your thing
yeah so we're moving on to what I ordered so first up this salad we had to
google what chunk that means the main ingredient here is janta and we thought
it was bamboo but apparently it's heart of Palms
okay well I think we may have had it any deep dose but that was a few years ago
so it's not as fresh in my memory so this is it's covered in a bit of olive
oil it seems it also came with some avocado you can also order different
salads with like lettuce and tomatoes where this is one of the ingredients but
we just ordered Shanta on its own let's try it try it
what do you think reminds me a bit of artichokes nowhere oh wow
good job think very stringy yep also my aunt was telling me you can add
mayonnaise so once right I haven't done this before try it with meetings
let's see changes things it's kind of weird to be whispering in Mayo on my
salad well I would stop mine Mayo is really popular here you might see it
with a lot of different things a son more ma'am bring it like wraps
itself around your teeth Oh
does that enhance it a bit I would say it's an improvement
otherwise it's kind of like dry and stringy in a way all right now we need
to move on to the star of the show this is your place so for my main I'm gone
gotcha Issa Cena oh good focaccia is basically
my fantine yes they like fry it and smash it down and it's like mush like
yeah Fantine mush I'm here they turned it like a little pyramid yeah but when
we were in the jungle we were having it as a ball right they would take the
plantain and they would take this to see that chop it up yeah they would just mix
it all together and to a ball the size of your yeah that's ready eat it with
your hands so this is a different presentation so I'll try myself and
unlike the one that I had yours a savory I went into savory to find out is it
good I feel like I need a bit of meat some of us
tasty salty the mean is quite salty yeah okay I think that's why they preserve it
yeah comes with some red onions looks like tomato and maybe even
cilantro
you're going to town on it so I know it's good also I can't wait to try it
too and because her eyes are always bigger
than our stomachs we have moved on to dessert something I've never seen before
it's called mute dose and apparently it's made with the starch from Luca so
I've been told yeah they're like these little balls
apparently they're quite powdery and dry so you have to be careful not to choke
on them so yeah it's just fine
yeah you were luring okay no that's the exact you basically America looks like a
popsicle
that's right and that was a that was their meal you know I'll do price point
outside portions would yeah time to do the math
yeah time for price point so I thought that's really good value came to 105
solace which is just a little bit more than 30 US dollars
yeah well that included the meal for the three of us humains the solid all the
drinks and the desserts at the end those excellent value I thought the portions
are really good here definitely come back and the fun never ends what are we
gonna do now we're going to buy ticket Kennedy Tybee katana Spencer yeah and
apparently the guy comes what only after 3 p.m.
there's three also I should mention this isn't gonna be juggling be gutter honest
that's just a snack it's just a little dessert yeah
how many portions Audrey dessert I'm in the kitchen I'm having mine a bit later
I did run an errand so this is gonna be really nice as Oh awesome
she's gone oh wait isn't this the one axle oh you're right I'm starting to
confuse the two things that we have them so often it's like the most refreshing
day ever like seriously if you've been walking in
the heat does that you can't be passion fruit juice I should be Jesus got
cucumber in there but let's talk about the dessert before the dog tries eating
it dog is like a frantic poodle motor show the dog the dog is Mackey with
monkey with his corn again so sad poor thing can't stop scratching okay so
