and very local too this is  like a local beach local market  

i got the mixed ceviche so it's not just  fish it has different types of seafood

i went for the oriental ceviche and this would be  peruvian japanese fusion this would be nike food

all righty friends hello hello hello greetings  from lima peru greetings and today we have a very  

special video for you yeah it's going to involve  a lot of eating on our end because we want to show  

you the different types of ceviche that you can  get here in lima peru right and in case you don't  

know ceviche is considered the national dish of  peru it is basically a raw fish cured in lime  

but i mean you have your classic recipe but you  can also kind of experiment and get fancy with it  

so that's what we're going to be doing so we're  going to be showing you what it's like to have  

it at a local fisherman's market we're also going  to take you to restaurants and uh yeah we're going  

to show you at least three different locations  so it's basically a ceviche taste test challenge  

here in lima peru we're super pumped it's a food  that we just i mean we just go nuts eating it  

when we're in lima we have it it was the first  thing we did once we were back almost almost  

daily with someone found a way to have it there  you go so loads of ceviche coming up coming up

oh

um

so we came to the fisherman's market here in  chorridos it's called mercado artisanal de  

pescadores and this is where they sell their  fresh fish and apparently just next door they  

have a few little kind of like casual restaurants  where you can get your fresh ceviche and different  

dishes i'm trying to befriend the pelicans over  my shoulder there's a whole bunch of them here  

down on the beach looking very friendly waiting  for their fish they're fresh fish i think these  

guys are very well fed and then they also have  boat tours here you can see like little row boats

it's a bit of a foggy day i don't think it's the  best day for a for a boat tour but yeah this is  

the spot i'm going to try and find like a little  ceviche to go in a little cup because we are  

heading to a restaurant with the family um but  i do want to try my ceviche at the fish market

look at this doesn't that look nice does that look  amazing we've got fresh local ceviche in the cup  

sold for five soles each five so just over less  than this geez that's like a doll or something  

wanna hold one

take that mask off can breathe so this  is actually they call it leche de tigre  

because they're giving you a lot of that fish  juice yeah and you're you're also getting the  

breaded fish as well look at this yeah  there's some breaded and fried fish um

oh you did that yes okay let  me try the leche de tigre

oh yeah that's the real deal nice and sour  potent i'll try a little banana chip here  

let's see if i can get down i got the actual  ceviche look at that what's the canchita you  

have the red onions you have the corn the  breaded fish nice small snack portion size  

delicious affordable and very local too this is  like a local beach local market and so it's a nice  

kind of cool authentic experience to  have here in lima highly recommend

they're trying to get sam to buy a bathing suit

um

oh

okay so we have made it inside the restaurant  we are at kantarana do you know what it means  

no what is it the singing frog oh my gosh that's  hilarious what a name for a restaurant yes and the  

coolest thing here it's another weekend another  family outing we're here with the whole crew and  

yeah this is a very popular place we were waiting  outside for what 15-20 minutes huge line outside  

you can dine outside or you can dine in and  what's really cool about this place in particular  

is just how packed it is and the atmosphere  reminds us so much of this pizzeria in argentina  

in buenos aires called el puertito yeah i'll  mention i'll mention quickly this is actually  

a peruvian argentine restaurant and the cool  thing is that we've ordered from both of the  

countries you're getting the ceviche yeah  and i'm getting the milanesa ala napolitana  

so the napolitan melanesa so can't wait we're  gonna fill our faces and we're super hungry

so dreams are made out right

i could have just done a whole plate of that  satisfied is here it has arrived so let's take a  

closer look so i can tell you everything that's in  here i got the mixed ceviche so it's not just fish  

it has the shrimp it has uh calamari  different types of seafoods all mixed in  

of course the red onions that's classic my  corn sweet potato this has a little bit of  

seaweed on it so that's cool and let's try a  piece with both fish and shrimp and this has  

been cured in lime juice it is delicious  i am obsessed with ceviche by the way

so good so i got the ceviche but i also wanted to  show you my uncle's dish so my uncle got a similar  

variation of this dish it's called the appaldalo  and it's also like raw cured fish but it doesn't  

have the onions or the aji like my dish does  and also his had avocado on top wow there you go

i love that first sam's dish it came with  rice like this is such an argentine dish  

you would typically have it with fries  or mashed potatoes but we are in peru so  

rice must be there hence the rice all  right we're taking advantage of the  

capabilities of the ultra wide gopro here aren't  we this is great so i have got the argentine  

napolitana milanesa which is basically  the breaded cutlet that comes with cheese  

pam and tomato sauce all right check this  out guys look at all that cheesy goodness

oh yeah that's the real deal i haven't had one  of these in a very long time i've been craving it  

i've been having so much seafood that i  thought we're gonna mix it up a little bit  

and get some argentine meat in me okay so we just  finished lunch how was it oh man it was amazing  

so full very like beyonce yeah i really need to  reel it in a bit so we wanted to do bright price  

points we wanted to do price point as always give  you an idea of the cost so my dish was 45 soles  

sam's was mine was 50. so that would be about  11 to 13 yeah approximately so respectively 10  

is 38 so yeah yeah exactly so good value great  atmosphere in there i can see why it's popular  

there was a long line to get in let me tell you  seriously yeah yeah it was worth it worth the wait  

though for sure very much worth it so i know we're  making a ceviche video so i will get back on the  

ceviche train tomorrow yeah i promise there's sort  of the next yeah coming up so this is a little  

deviation so next restaurant guys we continue  with our ceviche taste test across the city  

different styles different varieties and in  today's video we're taking you to one of our  

favorite restaurants that we try to visit every  time we're in this all-time favorite it is called

yeah it does have a blue door maybe i need to  make my own restaurant called the blue door what  

do you think for the confusion stem cells painted  blue yeah um but yeah they specialize in seafood  

so we're gonna be ordering once again different  varieties of ceviche to give you an idea of what  

this peruvian national dish is all about and we  hope you enjoy let's enjoy it okay guys so i have  

a beautiful looking oriental ceviche here  however we're gonna start with samuel yes  

who went for something else i got the parmesan  risotto shrimp delight i think you get this  

every time we talk yeah i'm just remembering  i'm like i had this before guys this is just  

cheesy creamy goodness look at this look at this  look at all that cheese stretching out like that  

that's gonna be a glorious first bite it's  made with arborio rice some nice chicken paste  

that was super hot i bet like not spicy but i  should have blew that i should have flown on  

that is creamy goodness creamy cheesy goodness  taken to a whole new level it's just incredibly  

rich it's like something you can't really get  anywhere else huh like i i i don't think i've had  

it anywhere else since i've been here so it's just  like a taste i've been you know secretly craving  

for years so nice to be eating it again and to  go along with it we have chicha murala would  

you want to tell us about that yeah that's the  blue purple corn drink very refreshing sweet and

sometimes i think they add like kind of like  a cinnamon or clove to it gives it a bit of a  

kick doesn't it it tastes really good um i mean  it's not that hot but i'm really thirsty today  

so really enjoying it alrighty guys voila hello  my dish i went for the oriental risotto because  

not versailles i just tried sam's persona i went  for the oriental ceviche because we've already  

shown you what a peruvian ceviche looks like and  this would be peruvian japanese fusion this would  

be nike food so the fish is still cured in lime  juice but we also have a little bit of soy sauce  

which makes all the difference and you can  also see the little bits of green the chives

wow that is limey creamy and salty goodness that  is very good i like that so many trips to peru and  

this is my first time trying like fusion ceviche  in japanese peruvian ingredients elements combined  

and it asks for it extra spicy and they deliver if  you can see here we have the the red chili you can  

see it right there yeah and they also like blended  it with the the tiger's milk this is the tiger's  

milk is like the fish juice and the lime that's  the best sauce and the spices i just love it  

you can get like a little shooter you can't  that's awesome you can like a little shot  

glass yeah of just fish juice and lime you got to  try it it sounds so much better than it just let  

me explain it it really does and if you're on if  you're anywhere along the coast like this is what  

you get this is what you want to try some kind of  ceviche so very pleased very happy with this and  

i think we may have room for dessert oh we'll make  room we always we always make the room we make the

by the fancy spoon look how tall it is look how  cute it is it's so small it's like a teaspoon  

it's like three times as long as a  normal teaspoon you're gonna need  

it to dig into this jar so what do  we got here we got a dessert called  

merengue the chili moda so you've got like a  creamy meringue yeah with a fruit that's man  

yeah and then the creamy layer in between that  is the manjar blanco so the cherimoya is a really  

interesting fruit that's something that your  grandma loves it's white and fleshy and creamy  

and sweet and then the manchado blanco is like  a creamy milky you know rich caramel very sweet  

you know what this is like it's like a gourmet  pudding it has a texture of a gourmet food  

it's just so smooth it's just an awesome  dessert i love it i totally love it and we're  

sharing sharing look at that hello all right  guys so we just finished that meal at punto  

thoughts feeling phenomenal emotions full but in  a good way like kind of like comfortably full not  

yeah you know what i mean like i don't want to eat  any more but i'm not like oh i over did it it was  

just the perfect amount of food really generous  portions for the main it's really good that we  

only shared a dessert oh that was just what we  needed anything else would have been excess would  

have been way too much yeah and the also the  chicharrado just paired really nicely with the  

seafood too yeah so in terms of the price point  just a phenomenal deal really it only came to 121  

soles so you're talking like just something over  30 us dollars yeah it'd be like 15 16 something  

dollars per person i mean to eat that well and we  just love that place it's kind of um says center  

there's a lot of sentimental value going back  there kind of connects the past with the present  

if that makes sense oh my what a wrap up london  yeah i i loved it and uh it was a great way for us  

to finish our ceviche challenge and also to show  you guys some other other foods you can eat along  

at the restaurant aside from ceviche too yeah so  we hope you enjoyed it and more videos coming soon
