I came here on two different occasions, so I am writing the review based on both dinners
There are two sides of the restaurant, the bar side with high chairs and the inner dining area. I seated at the bar area both times as I find it more relaxing.
The staff was very attentive and knowledgeable of the items on their menu. They changed their menu a bit since they opened as some of the dishes my friend wanted to try is no longer available.
Now the food! I collected the photos from the two nights so no.. We didn't eat THAT much.
Scallop Tiradito - I liked the idea of raw fish and sour sauce but scallop wasn't fresh enough. A bit disappointed.
This is a Trio of Ceviche -
- Corvina - Sea Bass, Choclo, Camote, Red Onion and Leche de Tigre
- Tuna - with Watermelon, Basil, Tarragon and Orange Leche de Tigre
- Mixto - Shrimp, Octopus, Scallops, Squid, Passion fruit, Honey and Ginger Leche de Tigre
All of them are very refreshing. The sea bass and tuna are both sashimi. I prefer the Corvina to the other two, but it might just because I am not a fan of tuna sashimi apart
from Toro.
Beef and Cripsy Soft Shell Crab Taco
Beef and Cripsy Soft Shell Crab Taco
Soft shell Crab and Beef Taco. They are quite cispy and nothing like the Mexican tacos. There is a lot of cream sauce as can be quite messy to eat.
Skewers - Tenderloin and Oh My Cod
Skewers - Tenderloin and Oh My Cod
Skewers - I don't particularly liked the beef. I little too dry and not enough meat flavour (too much seasoning).. but Oh My Cod.. that was so good that we ordered twice. Cod has a lot of oil in it, so it's especially juicy when grilled, with the mayo on top, it's devine!
Hot Scallop Ceviche - Oh My God.. this was absolutely delicious, and so special. I think the sauce reminded me of lobster bisque.
King Fish Tiradito - crispy and rich. Yes, think that's the best way to describe it. It's yum~
I usually like starters more than main course and Chicha is no exception. I think this one is Marisco Jugoso - basically seafood served with rice. It's average and I don't remember the taste that much..
