This was a weekday lunch where Mr-Nice-Guy decided to order a delivery. I tag along coz i wanted to have something local.
Despite him not being a local (he is from the BVI), he knows well about the Panamanian cuisine. He recommended the arroz con pollo, which is rice with chicken, a well-known traditional dish in Latin America.
It looks like paella but is typically consists of chicken cooked with rice, onions, saffron, and some other vegetables. The rice was served with salad and a deep fried plantain on the side. The rice itself doesn't have strong flavor, very much like paella, but slightly different flavor/taste. There were chunks of boneless chicken inside, covered with shredded carrots and peas.
I had my lunch at the pantry facing the apartment buildings.
He also ordered a Sancocho (for sharing), which is a meat broth/soup with loads of other veggie ingredients. It tastes like chicken soup. But it is very much depends on the type of meat being put into the soup.
Meanwhile he had ropa vieja (served with rice), which is flank steak, a lean cut with long, thick strands of muscle fiber that can quickly dry out when overcooked.
Total price for our meal: USD24.08nett

Mr-Nice-Guy and Ms-Nice-Gal had a lovely meal totaling USD24.08nett at the pantry overlooking the apartment buildings. The Cupids were busy shooting arrows too 😂😂😂
Thank you for sharing your adventures in Panama.
Your lunch delivery from Alla Onde Uno sounds absolutely delicious! 🍽️ I can almost taste the arroz con pollo and Sancocho through your colourful description. 😋 It’s always a great idea to explore local cuisine, even if you’re not from the area. And how amazing that you had a lovely view of the apartment buildings while enjoying your meal. 🌆
The photo you shared is lovely too! 📸 It looks like you had a fantastic time together. And the Cupids shooting arrows… well, that’s just too cute! 😂😂😂
I think I would like the ropa vieja dish. Prefer steak than chicken.
