| - It was long ago, and far away, when I first tried Chifa (read: Chinese-Peruvian food). Then, it was prepared by a loving mother of one of my closest girls and we couldn't wait to go over to her house when we knew her mom was making some of her famous food.
Flash-forward to Peru, where I had a chance to go to authentic Chifa restos and enjoy this culinary blend of two otherwise different cultures. In one word: Yum!
So, when I found Little Dumpling prided itself on its Chifa in Las Vegas, I couldn't wait to try it! The Aguado de Camarones (a cilantro based soup with loads of goodies); the Papas a la Huancaina (potatoes with an egg/cheese sauce smothered on top - to add a spicy kick, try these folks' homemade spicy cilantro sauce); and the steamed fish were excellent. Not so great: the seafood fried rice (the seafood in the rice was deep-fried so that this dish tasted heavy and very oily). All in all, an excellent meal in a cozy, no frills environment. And, yes, they serve Inka Cola. Love it.
