I first saw Chez Wong when Anthony Bourdain went there, and I knew it was a place I eventually wanted to go when I visited Peru. Today was that day! #Peru #Lima #PeruvianFood #ceviche 1. Open hours: 1 pm - 3:30 pm (this is ceviche time in Peru) 2. Reservations are a must, no walk-ins Part of the reason to eat at Chez Wong when youโre in Lima is to experience the show of him cooking - heโs truly gifted and skilled at cooking and at performing. The highlight is him bringing a huge Peruvian sole (flounder, known as Lenguado in Spanish) out from the kitchen to prepare lunch for all the guests. You donโt know what youโll get on his menu, and I think he used to make more dishes, but heโs making fewer dishes now. But you get whatever he makes for that day. Ceviche - Youโre guaranteed to have a taste of Chez Wongโs legendary ceviche. What impressed me was its simplicity, fresh fish, lime juice, salt, and pepper, onions, and thatโs it - but with some chilies on the side. The Leche de Tigre, or ceviche juice, is out of this world. I wouldnโt say itโs the best Peruvian ceviche youโll eat in Lima, but it was one of the freshest and definitely the cleanest tasting ceviche I had during my trip. The fish was outstanding. I was hoping for tiradito as well, but I think he doesnโt make it anymore. Stir Fry - After ceviche, Chef Javier Wong sliced up more of the fish and added some ingredients like bok choy and mandarin to a metal mixing bowl. Then he went to the back to stir fry. His stir frying skills are next level master, genius. He cranks the fire so high, the flame reaches the ceiling before he even adds the food. The stir fry goes up in a flame of glory, infusing all the ingredients with the glorious breath of the wok. Itโs truly beautiful to see him so calm with the fire. The stir fry was incredibly tasty, perfectly seasoned and balanced. And again, that fish was the highlight. Total price - 545 PEN ($164.38), for 4 adults. Itโs not a cheap meal, but the fish is next level, itโs a once in a lifetime meal, and Chef Javier Wong truly is a special amazing man.
