Limeños were amazed by the bittersweet sauce, <i>chaufa</i> rice, soup, and other dishes. Wealthy Limeños became fascinated by <i>chifa</i>, to the point where in some regions of the country there are more <i>chifas</i> than <i><a href="/wiki/Criollo_people" title="Criollo people">criollo</a></i> restaurants.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

Because on Ucayali Street pigs, bulls, sheep and goats were fattened to be made more appetizing. Near Capon Street there was a piece of land known as Otaiza, which was rented by a group of Chinese free of the [indenturement] contract, doing what they best knew how to do: cooking and merchanting (...) Capon turned into the birthplace of Chinese food and of the first Peruvian chifas, a blessing from the sky. Soon all of Lima comes to eat at <i>Ton Kin Sen</i>, to <i>Thon Po</i>, to <i>Men Yut</i>, and to <i>San Joy Lao</i> where there was dancing to a live orchestra. Chinese restaurants became known as Chifa. For some this word was derived from the Chinese <i>ni chi fan</i> or "Have you eaten yet". Soon later would come the dish <i>chau fan</i> (fried rice), and finally, <i>chaufa</i>, a dish that comes with almost every chifa meal. <br />– León, R., 2007 pp.134-136.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> <p>The history of <i>chifa</i> is deeply rooted in the development of the Chinatown of Lima, which has become focal point in cultural, artistic, commercial, and especially gastronomic interest.
