Welcome

A neighbourhood chifa in La Perla, Callao. Cooked in the wok over a very high flame, every day of the year.

Chifa reached Callao by ship

In 1849 the first Cantonese workers landed at the port of Callao. They brought the wok, the soy sauce and the habit of searing yesterday's rice over a very high flame.

Chifa came out of that encounter: Cantonese cooking made with what Peru grows. It is what gets cooked on this corner of La Perla, in the same wok, every day of the year.

At Chifa Wang Wha we still cook that way: family recipes, produce chosen every morning, and a genuinely long menu — to eat in, take away, or have brought to your door.

Nineteenth-century newspaper notice headed «Inmigración de la China», announcing the arrival of the frigate Winged Racer at the port of Callao. — The notice in the paper. They were called «settlers», but they travelled under an eight-year indenture.
