East and West are like two sides of the same coin. Human history has always sought to build bridges between the two hemispheres but, let’s be honest, it is complicated because there are major cultural differences. But it is precisely these distinctive features between the two faces of the planet that make every time a meeting point is achieved, it is rich, unique and explosive. A clear example is Latin Chinese food.
Chinese food that evolved in Latin America is a perfect blend. The use of oriental cooking techniques and the addition of original ingredients from this part of the world gave birth to a gastronomic marvel that is now a world heritage site. Have you tried it?
If you are in Miami and you still don’t know this delicious gastronomic genre, today we want to help you solve that cultural gap. We share with you the best places for Latin Chinese food in our beloved city and as a bonus, we’ll tell you what we like the most about their menu. Let’s get to it!
