Nazca21 @ Costa del Este, Panama (Peruvian Restaurant)

It was a Sunday....a day after I arrived. My boss was still stuck in France after a flight delay caused him missing the connecting flight. So that day I went out exploring the restaurants alone.
Chanced upon this restaurant located in the complex next to the hotel.
It was nicely decorated.
And was empty too....So I thought, the food must be expensive here...
There were not many choices since I was staying in a 5-star hotel, therefore all the nearby eateries are kinda pricey. I was hungry....so.....
The menu.....
Even if you don't convert, it is still pricey by Panama standard....
Such price can easily buy 2 set meals at their local foodcourt😅
But heck cares....swipe card and claim company. As long as it is not too overly expensive, the company will not question....hehehe....
I ordered a..............
Corvina a la Chorrillana
which is a traditional Peruvian seafood dish that originates from the coastal district of Chorrillos in Lima. It features corvina, a firm white fish similar to sea bass, served with a flavorful and slightly spicy sauce made from sautéed vegetables and seasonings.
Taste good....abit spicy like Thai/Malay dish....
While i was dining here....the restaurant remain empty....well, i guess this place is meant for tourist/expat. Locals know better place elsewhere.
The bill came to USD16 nett.
After then, I went to 'jalan jalan' abit....across the road to the place where Mr.Nice Guy (now ex-colleague) once brought me before. Some quite 'atas' residential apartments...lol!
But nearby there is some office buildings and banks....
The bank entrance is so sophisticated. It needs some sort of PIN to get thru...
Anyway it is closed...I'm curious on how it works during the daytime. Stood there long enough that people thought I want to rob the bank.
A Chinese restaurant spotted in one of the commercial buildings....
Went there to 'look see' the menu....It has dimsum, roast duck, all sorts of Chinese chop suey, chow mein, general Tso chicken, steamed fish....

The rice dish you ordered do somewhat look like a local dish here. You just went there recently?
