hi~
I'm from Peru :)
Well, there are two meanings for this word: Chifa
- Chifa is a kind of restaurant (place) where you can eat oriental food, specially Chinese-Peruvian food. By the way, chinese-peruvian food It's delicious!
*Example: I'm so hungry!. Let's go to the Chifa! :)
- Another meaning for this word is 'a chinese-peruvian dish'
*Example: Last week, my mum made a chifa for us.
Here are a lot of Chifa Restaurants where you can eat delicious dishes. There is a famous dish called 'arroz chaufa' (chaufa rice) which is a combination of vegetables, chicken, beef or pork and oriental condiments. This is product of the fusion between Chinese and Peruvian culture in the XIX century. :)
