__El Chifa__ The Peruvian term for "chinese food." Japanese preparations of fish and shellfish and Chinese culinary methods which have given birth to one of the most popular gastronomic traditions in Peru[1]. "In the 150 years since its arrival in Peru, the Chinese Peruvian culture has revolutionized Peruvian cuisine[1]." It reflects a fusion of what the Chinese have brought with them from China mixed with the Peruvian foods[3]. "Even some creole dishes such as //tacu-tacu//, //lomo saltado//, and //arroz chaufa// were influenced by the Chinese" in downtown Lima, in "china town" a great variety of food is there that the Chinese have brought with them[3]. But there is a problem with the Chinatown in Lima. Members of Peru’s public prosecutor’s office noticed terrible conditions regarding hygiene and security in some of the restaurants in the Chinese district in downtown Lima, after conducting inspections.
