There is something called “foodsick”?!
As I said in latest post, I do not fit with Peruvian food. That is why I cannot enjoy and explore Peruvian cuisine as much as I can. This is first time I realize how much I love my country and vietnamese cuisine. I have ever craved for eating vietnamese food like this time. I desire to eat “Phở” - the most famous noodles in Vietnam even though I didnt really like it when I was in Vietnam. I miss homemade dishes cooked by my mom, I want to taste foods which are impregnated with fish sauce. I think about vietnamese food whole day and imagine how much I will eat when I go back. I dont feel homesick but “foodsick”. lol.
How to survive in Peru?
And this is how I do to survive in Peru. I always book apartment instead of hotel. It is so convenient and has everything I need. so I bought a lot vegetable and meat to cook at home. You know, ingredient here has really reasonable price but cuisine is so expensive. So cooking at home saves my money and also saves my stomach. I tried to find fish sauce in every supermarket and convenient store, but there is nothing called fishsauce here. lol. So I try to cook vietnamese food without fishsauce. Just with soysauce and salt. Fortunately, my cooking skill is not bad and these are dishes made by me in Peru.
Vegetable with fried pork belly with stired onion and paprika. I didnt have anything to make sauce to eat with those things, so I made a sauce with just salt, lemon and pepper. I was starving. Some bottles of beer will be good. And honestly, I love Peruvian beer.
Noodles with bacon, broccoli, tomato and bean sprouts. I have ever cooked it before but when I found out this kind of noodles in convenient store, I bought it right away and just cook it as my mom used to cook for me. It was not bad. Feel so proud of my cooking skill. Haha.
