The prices for large portions are great, but you have to settle for spaghetti instead of Chinese noodles. To drink, Matheo ordered a beer, of course. I took to experimenting and ordered the most popular peruvian lemonade - Inca Kola. Inca Kola did not suit me with its very sweet taste, reminding me some kind of cheap candy from our childhood.
Best Italian Chinese (please don't judge us)

Funny story "Inca Kola heist"

Because I did not want to waste money, I took an Inca Kola with me. But I was caught red-handed and the waiter came running after me with a plastic bag to pour the soda into. Since I didn't really liked the taste, I saved myself the trouble of drinking from the bag. The next day in Cusco I found out that drinking from a bag is common in Peru.

Fun fact:

Peruvians are really into Inca Kola!
