Chifa Titi Restaurant, San Isidro, Lima, Peru

Near the end of the 50’s of the last century, William Chan Lau sets foot in Lima. A Chinese immigrant married to a Peruvian citizen of Chinese ascendancy from Mainland China, both residents in the United States, where William worked as a chef in his young years when he lived in San Francisco. The latter end of the 50’s presents an extremely traditional Lima, with part-time schedules that allowed returning home for lunch, thus setting foot in a restaurant was basically done for important events, obviously chosen for their premises and style. This is why the initiative to implement a small food business was labeled as a failure and received very little support.
