Chicha - Indulge In a Delicious World of Peruvian

Price: $$$$

Cravingness: ★★★★☆

Chicha is the first and the best Peruvian restaurant in Hong Kong offering an electric range of authentic Peruvian dishes. I have been there a few times and Chicha never lets me down. It's the restaurant perfect for romantic dates, fun friends and family gatherings.

Located on Peel Street, Chicha is easy to spot with red lights glimmering over the street. If you failed to get a table at Chicha, you can try their bar right opposite to the restaurant.

The Peruvian restaurant is divided into two areas, a modern dining area and a more exotic and fun bar area set by the kitchen where you can smell the drooling aroma from the kitchen.

The menu is easy to read, printed on a one-sided pale yellow paper with monotone graphics.

Quinoa Salad - HKD70

We started with a refreshing and sweet quinoa salad comprised of tomato, corn, green onion, cilantro, raisin and lime juice.

Scallops Ceviche - HKD75/pc

The scallop ceviche was one of the best dish of the night. The sauce, infused with Aji Amarillo butter, soy, honey and lime was creamy and utterly flavourful. The scallop was insanely smooth and sweet! The spring onion sprinkles topped a herby freshness to the dish. I can have tens of this!

Causa Trio - HKD195

The causa at Chicha tasted much nicer than the ones at Mayta Peruvian Kitchen. I was very impressed with the causa as the potato ball was heavenly smooth and the topping was excellently paired, each carried distinct taste.

I love the Black Cod Causa which was the most flavourful one. The creamy yellow Aji De Galline Causa was sweet and mildly spicy. The Squid Casua was the least impressive one but the causa gave a lemony note which I found lovely.

Pisco Sour - HKD80

This pisco sour was good but tiny portioned. The foam turned rough quickily after sitting for a while.

CHICHA MORADA - HKD50

A fruity non alocoholic drink that I love made with purple maize and mixed spices!

Oh My Cod Anticucho - HKD95

The Oh My Cod truly is an oh my skewer! The cod was utterly smooth with a crispy, smokey skin and paired excellently with ponzu miso and Aji Rocoto Aioli,

The Lechon Anticucho - HKD75

The Lechon anticucho was less impressive, tasted more Asian style. The pork belly cubes were mostly made up with creamy fats. I was actually more impressed by how perfectly shaped the pork belly cubes are.

Tacos - HKD65/pc

Tacos at Chicha are served in hard crispy taco. I didn't like the Beef Taco, the short rib was a tad rough and stringy in texture, flavour wise was not particularly good either.

The Fish Taco was better, the taco was topped with sweet creamy mango salsa but the fish was bland in flavour.

PICARONES - HKD60

Picarones, the sweet potato donut is a Peruvian traditional dessert. Chicha paired the crispy donuts with an addicting orange spiced syrup. It's a delightful dessert to end the dinner.

Dining at Chicha is infatuating as the dishes are heavenly seasoned that tantalise and surprise my palate. At Chicha, the only thing you need to worry about is your wallet, as the items are on the pricy side. One can easily spend our HKD500 here.
