En Perú tenemos el término “chifa” para referirnos a un restaurante de comida china adaptada al paladar peruano. Madam Tusan es un chifa, fundado en el 2011 y su fundador es Gaston Acurio, reconocido chef y promotor de la comida peruana. Hace poco salí a uno de sus locales por primera vez, dejo mis fotos y comentarios.

I recently went to one of their restaurants for the first time, I leave my photos and comments.
Fui al local ubicado en Miraflores, Lima. Era un local amplio, con detalles impresionantes, como una especie de dragón chino gigante en las paredes. A su vez, se cumplieron con los protocolos especiales por el Covid.

Al ser una ocasión especial, un cumpleaños de un familiar, se decidió elegir “La fiesta del pato pekinés”, una serie de platos que te presentaba el pato en 4 formas distintas, la primera de forma crocante con su piel, el segundo la carne de pato picada con verduras y lechugas para envolver, la tercera en un plato con tallarines y verduras y finalmente la cuarta, los restantes del pato en forma de sopa con tofu y tallarines. Una completa delicia.
