WellSpent Peruvian-Cantonese Lunch
26 May 2024, Sunday | 12.00nn - 5.00pm

The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw Chinese workers in Peru evolve into planters, merchants, and integral contributors, shaping the cultural landscape. Despite initial tensions, the Chinese community integrated, becoming a vital part of the country's social fabric.

This integration is evident in Peruvian-Chinese cuisine, a distinctive aspect of the local culinary scene. The fusion of Chinese techniques with traditional Peruvian ingredients has given rise to unique dishes, showcasing the harmonious blending of these culinary traditions.

This cuisine represents the enduring impact of cultural blending and the evolving Chinese-Peruvian identity in Peru.
