Chez Wong is an amazing restaurant in Lima. If anyone is going to Lima, or knows someone who is, make a reservation here! You'll have to speak Spanish and make the res about a month in advance. It's in the middle of no where in Lima at an unmarked door. The decor is very simple - mostly clips about the chef, Javier Wong. He is so cool. He comes out in his hat and just starts to filet flounder after flounder and making fresh ceviche.
Chef Wong just stands up there the whole time making the food.
There he is fileting the flounder.
This was the ceviche. Yum! The leche de tigre is so flavorful and tart. He doesn't let the fish sit for very long, so it doesn't get over "cooked" or too limey.
The next dish is tiradito. It's a very subtle flavor with sliced flounder and pecans on top.
The next is a tangy stirfry. The last is another stir fry that's more sweet and sour. We were too full to get it, but our nice neighbors gave us a bite of theirs and it was fabulous.
There he is making the stir fry. SUCH a cool experience.
