- Come join us for a Peruvian Supermarket Tour as we head to our favorite grocery store (Wong) in Lima, Peru. Inside of Wong supermarket we showcase some of the top peruvian foods to buy including favorites such as Pisco, Ceviche, Chicha Morada, Turrone, Chirimoya, Maracuyá, Lucuma, Manjar Blanco, Inka Cola and more. One of the reasons we love Wong Grocery Store so much is just how beautifully displayed the products are inside the store. There is lots of space to walk around and you have friendly staff offering free samples of products to buy. In terms of typical Peruvian foods worth buying we'd also suggest going for some of the beautiful cakes they have on display which often feature fruit and manjar blanco. Have you been to a Peruvian Supermarket before? How was your experience?

Peruvian Supermarket Tour + Peruvian Foods to Buy in Lima, Peru Transcript:
Well hello there Sam. Want to tell us what are we up to today? Hey guys so today we are going to do a Peruvian grocery store tour. Yes! And this is our local shop not far from where we are staying. It is Wong. Wong. Just over your shoulder. It is not a little store. It is a great big store. Two levels yes and there is a lot of unique Peruvian products. Yes. And we're going to try and show you as many of those as we possibly can.
Productos Tipicos Peruanos. First up typical Peruvian products. Yeah. There is a little bit of everything here. Some things I recognize some things I don't. I really like this display because yes you can also find these items in other parts of the store. For instance I know that these um these San Jose what are these called? Ah, turrone. Ah turrones. I've seen these turrones elsewhere I've also seen King Kongs elsewhere but they don't seem to have them today. This is really cool. You get this at the restaurants a lot. Canchita. Oh yeah. We have that for a lot of snacks at your Aunt's house too. Chifles which are plantains slices but they are like chips. Yep. There are surprisingly not sweet and not very salty either.
I know a few words. Rocoto. That is another famous one as well. Oh and my Mom just bought some of these. Yes. She was at the supermarket this morning. Tejas. These are Tejas. Oh how do I ever describe this. It is like a sweet you can have different fillings. Yeah. This can be pecans. Pecans. Pecans. Pecans. Yeah, it is basically pecans or prunes yes and then inside is like manjar blanco yes which is like the caramel spread. Yes. And then you also have it is coated in chocolate.
Alright my favorite section and probably the most colorful section by far in Wong grocery store. The fruit. So look at this. We have this is chirimoya. How would you describe that? It is like a flesh white fleshy. It is white fleshy pulp. Yes. And they put it in cakes. They do. They often have it served with manjar blanco which is similar to dulce de leche. Yeah. The caramel spread. And then look over here. Caramboya. I don't think we've had one of these. Carambolla. I don't know. I've never had that one. And lucuma.
Look Audrey this is your Grandma's favorite item for breakfast. Papaya you can get it whole or already like I guess you could say it is split in half and sort of processed for you. And that is a reasonable price. Like this is 499 or sorry 5.99. Yeah. So you're talking less than $2 US dollars for a giant slice of papaya. It is a pretty good deal.
Audrey check this out. This is also one of my favorite sections too. You can get the giant bundles of limon. The lemons. And these are great because you can make them in all of the different mixed drinks huh?
Like the chilcanos. Pisco sours. Huanaso. Exactly. And yeah you can use them for teas too. When you had a sour throat just the other day I was making you I was making you limon tea with honey and real ginger. Yes. Te de limon. Te de limon.
This is your all-time favorite breakfast in Peru. Peruvian breakfast. Yes it is. What are you getting? Tamales. So what is it?

Perú is beautiful and rich in food 😍😍
Indeed! We love coming here.
I’m going to Peru on the holidays 😃
That is exciting to hear! Where do you plan to go?
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos I will be cruising around the capital.. it will be my very first Christmas/New Years with my family down there 🙂
Glad you guys made it first !
So, do you know spanish?
Love these type of videos , I always explore local supermarkets when abroad as I also love trying different foods . Cheers guys 😀👍🇬🇧
Thank you! Glad to hear you enjoy that as well.
I am so glad u guys are back in Perú
Thank you very much! We're thrilled to be back.
Cool!! I love Perú. One of the best food of the world, wonderfull people and beautifull places to see!
Thank you very much Ruben! We seriously miss Peru.
i was waiting samuel reaction eating the ceviche lol
Ah, it was delicious! I ended up having it like 5-8 more times while in Lima...jaja
Inca Cola tastes of bubblegum 😆. Another cool video guys. Thanks
Hahaha...yeah it kind of does. Thanks!
We have it here in the U.S but in my opinion it doesn't taste as good as the inca cola sold in Peru. Last time I was in Peru was August of 1995 and I still remember how good the inca cola was and how disappointed I was when I tasted here in the U.S.
The best peruvian commercial beer is Cuzqueña
That is my favorite one!
Pilsen gil
Commercial ?
Beautiful fruits! That's the best thing about living in the tropics. You can grow your own. Sweet life.
Thanks! Totally agree. They're so tasty and plentiful.
Hay muchas frutas peruanas netamente como: La lucuma, La chirimoya, El Paacae, EL caimito, El Capulie , Sapote y muchos mas, pero esos sin suuper ricos.
¡Guauu! Tantas frutas para probar en Perú y todas son tan deliciosas.
I feel you Sam, grocery shopping is always one of the highlights of my international trips, bonus points if everything is in a different language!
Thank you! It is so fun.
Been there over 13 times and Lima is fantastic…look forward to be there again.
I love having a mooch around the supermarket when I'm abroad, so interesting!
Thanks! Cool to hear. I'm going to try and win Audrey over ;)
guys honestly thanks so much for these Peruvian vids, im homesick a lot and seeing your videos on Peru is so refreshing and calming
Thank you! You're welcome. We're really happy to be back in Peru. I hope you can visit home soon.
I love the amount of respect you have for all the places you visit. You are willing to learn & explore and are genuinely so excited about it, it’s contagious. You guys are awesome!
She speak spanish very very good
Spanish is her mother tongue. It's her English that is excellent :-) Not sure what other languages she speaks...
She speaks Spanish very well*
Ha! That is a good joke :) Her parents speak spanish... Characato tenias que ser!
She is Peruvian
Grammar policeman. I´m sorry for that. It's a compulsion. :$
I love peruvian food 👍
So do we!
Inca Cola is made of Yerba Luisa which is a kind of aromatic herb, I advise you to try icy cold Inca Cola. For us Peruvian people Inca Cola is considered the beverage of national flavor that goes well with all kind of Peruvian food
Thanks for letting us know.
Is the peruvian lemongrass, kinda
I love grocery stores, it's cool to see a Peruvian one! Looking forward to more grocery shopping videos.
Thank you very much! We'll try to make more fo these.
The peruvian lemon is better of the word.
I love those!
Welcome back guys !! We were missing u a lot !
Thank you! We're happy to be back.
Oh wow!! I sure enjoyed the tour of the store.
It looked amazing inside, lots of delicious foods.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! It is a very welcoming store. They make it so inviting and we love the free samples.
Sam, I m with you on this one..MORE SUPERMARKET TOURS. I love exploring supermarkets wherever I go, so much fun. Plus anytime you go travelling, the supermarket is one of your best money savers.EVER!!
Thank you! We'll make more of these in the future. Totally agree with you about that! If you buy groceries instead of eating out all of the time you can save a lot over time.
fabulous tour thanks for sharing, im peruvian in lima, welcome back to my country
Thank you! We're really happy to be back :)
A esta pareja le gusta mucho Perú pero más por la comida , me alegra tenerlos de vuelta por aqui , keep up the good videos!
¡Muchas gracias! Estamos felices de estar de vuelta.
Tejas look so good! I've never even heard of it before. Super sweet and super delicious looking. It's cool to see what average supermarkets around the world carry. Thank you for another amazing video! And I wish America had good papayas. I know Singapore has amazing papayas, but the ones sold in America taste horrible!
Thank you! They kind of remind us a big of the Turtles chocolates but they're even better :)
PLAZA VEA supermarket is the owner of BEMBOS restaurant.
Oh thanks for letting us know.
You two are so adorable.. I enjoy your travel vids so much!! :)
Thank you very much!
Hi guys: The two of you make us smile and laugh so much. We love your enthusiasm for travel and life in general. We are going to Lima next March on a Trans South American cruise starting in Buenos Aries so your videos are so helpful. Cheers, Keith & Karen (Barrie, Ontario)
That is so exciting to hear Keith and Karen! It sounds like you have a great trip planned.
I love when you do videos like this. It’s great seeing stuff like this in other countries. Keep doing them if you want. I want it longer hahaha.
Thank you! We'll try to make more like this in the future Samantha.
Beautiful tejas box presentation love 💕 it!
Thank you! They are beautifully wrapped.
Welcome to peru again.
have fun.
Thank you very much!
Me and my family love to go to groceries when we go to other countries! I love your videos soooooo much! My parents are thinking what country our next trip will be in and we were thinking Japan again but I will suggest Peru since we haven’t been there ! I wanted Japan because it’s my favourite country, I’ve been there so many times but now I really really want Peru!
That is great to hear! Highly recommend Peru.
i've been watching your vids for years now, i enjoy seeing you guys travel because i only get to travel every few years! BUT i'm going to peru in 2 weeks so the timing of your trip is perfect for me, thanks for the great advice as always!! :)
Thank you very much! That is so exciting to hear. Where do you plan to go in Peru?
For a peruvian living in Europe for 2 years without going back during this whole time, your videos are bliss to me.
Thank you! Hope you can revisit again soon though.
I was just there a few weeks ago. Stayed near by also. Wanna go back so bad. Great video guys!
That is so cool to hear! Hope you can go back again soon.
Nice video on the grocery shopping and explaining to us about the products
Thank you! We had fun making this.
I love grocery shopping too! Nice inside look of a supermarket in Perú.
Thank you! They are fun to explore.
Hello Audrey and Sam. You guys are phenomenal. Your videos are so good, informative, entertaining and makes one feel good about the world. Can't thank you enough for all your efforts. God knows I don't have the patience to do what you guys do :). Anyways, you guys have inspired my wife and I so much, that we are leaving on a 10 day trip to Peru :) starting Dec 18th. Starting at Lima, we go to Cusco and sacred valley, Machu pIchu and the best if all, Refugio Amazonas forest resort ( I can hear the mosuitoes slurping aaaah come, come to papa. Me hungry Me hungry). Any tips other than what you guys have put out in the vdos will be great (only if any) especially for the forest resort visit (3 nights living like Mowgli aaaaaah :) ). Thanks guys ! Cheers!!
Alfajores, Turrón de Doña Pepa, Pisco de diferentes sabores WOWWWWWWW!!! Delicias de Perú! Gracias!!!
Thank you guys! !! Awesome products from Peru! 😘
Gracias! They have some amazing products from Peru :)
It always warms my heart to recognise the places I grew up around :-)
Ah, that is cool to hear! Thanks.
I love visiting supermarkets abroad just like you did in the video 😄 it is a truly cultural experience.
Thank you! I'm going to try and make Audrey enjoyed it more...jaja
grew up in the grocery business in SW USA. always enjoy seeing how other do it. thanks...
Thank you!
I am afraid to try ceviche when I travel to Peru. The supermarket looks clean and safe. What are your throughts?
That is a good place to start and I would also recommend cevicherias - basically restaurants specializing in the dish. You'll want to have it for lunch so it is most fresh.
You guys lucky …….just enjoy everything……very nice video…
Thank you soooo mucho for doing a this!!! It´s not very common so I appreciate it a lot. And thank you very much for such a long video. You both are such an amazing couple. By the way, Audrey, your Spanish accent is so cute. Your pronunciation is really-really good. Kisses from Buenos Aires.
Thank you very much! We hope to be back in Buenos Aires soon.
IM BACK HERE TO SEE YOUR VIDEOS AGAIN , IT FEELS LIKE ITS BEEN FOREVER SINCE YOU BEEN GONE . IM AMUSING MYSELF TO THE TOP ❤❤❤👍👏👏🔼⬆⏫🔼🔼⏫⬆⬆⏫🔼
Thank you very much! We are happy to be back.
Hey, good to have you back again!
Thank you very much!
I love Wongs. So much. I used to live two blocks away. The ceviche there is good. But for the same price you could have gone to my favorite menu al día I suggested to you earlier and had a whole meal. Aventura Marinas. Also check lucuma pudding. Vivando down the street sells everything at discount at night. They have yum foods and deserts.
Thank you for sharing that!
I get nostalgic every time I watch your videos! Much Love from Florida! I recommend eating Carapulcra and Cau Cau
Thank you! Really appreciate the recommendations.
i love your video, i love peru by far one of the best country in the americas..!!
THanks! Totally agree with you.
I think that lime green yellow fruit is star fruit. Cut it across and it makes a star shape. I've been looking for some for a while. Those pecan chocolate things look nice. I would want to try everything in there
Thank you for letting us know! AH, the tejas are delicious.
Welcome back!
Also, Pecanroll is THE BEST
Thanks! We'll have to try that.
Amazing episode! Love your Peruvian videos.
My son for some reasons takes a particular liking to Wong supermarkets and when visited that particular one in Miraflores last year, we hanged out a couple of times at that little snack area on the second floor!
Thanks for the tour guide of the local Peruvian delicacies. We actually like Inka Cola quite a bit but I think it is a bit of a acquired taste. We also love the lucuma ice cream!
Thank you! That is cool your son enjoys going there. The lucuma ice cream is the best!
I wish you'd posted this before our trip this summer. This place looks great.
Thanks! Ah, wish we could have got it out sooner. Do you plan to go back?
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos We'd love ro. We had the best time. There are so many other cool places to discover though. You guys should film a trip to Rainbow Mountain. It's awesome!
Inkakola, try the glass bottle version. It is much delicious than the plastic one.
BTW, that ceviche should have been eaten immediately after preparation. Enjoy.
Thank yoU! We'll have to try it from the glass. That is good to know about the Ceviche!
Pecan Rolls! They are so good!! Try them!
Nice experience for Samuel.
Thank you! I did love it...haha
Very good video
Thank you!
Nice video. Thanks for visiting us.
Thank you! We had a great time.
chocotejas are my favorite!!! I've never noticed them at Wong! Thank you!!! They have a little chocolate marzipan "roof" thus the name chocotejas. funny story, my husband brought some back to US for a friend (who paid for them) and he put them in our fridge and I ate most of them. Lesson, in when in Peru and you bring back something for somebody else, bring some for yourself too! One of your best videos! Love you guys!!!!
THank you very much! Ah, we miss all of this food.
grocery shopping same here sam que viva Peru
That is cool to hear!
Ohh Perú...very good...
Thank you!
Wow those desserts looked good. Everything looked good! That Inca kola has to be good. Gonna go on the hunt for some!
Thank you! Let me know what you think of it.
Love the markets in Peru! I being in that wong. Is a little more expensive than other areas.
Thanks! Which one do you recommend?
The best couple 😊
Ah, thanks!
I'm from Peru and the food is delicious
Thanks! The food is amazing. We miss it.
Very late comment, but I love that Wong. I miss it.
Welcome to my country!
Thank you very much!
Nuevamente por mi país peru que bien .
Saludos desde eeuu
¡Gracias! Estamos muy felices de volver a visitar Perú.
PecanRolls are the best!! 😍
We need to try those next time! :)
the bread from Wong is sooo good
Ah, we miss Wong Audrey.
Hey Audry n Samuel, very nice Video!!!
THanks Marcela! We loved this supermarket.
Great video. I love that your videos are full of details, like the escalators. When I was at those supermarkets three years ago I found the hydroponic lettuces. They might not sell them anymore. BTW carambola is star fruit.
Thank you! Ah, thanks for letting us know about the fruit.
Welcome Back to Perú ♪ :) !!
Ah, thank you very much!
In the US people are using Valerian plant as calmant. There's an organic peruvian brand of teas, recently got in market. It is ''Sunka'', I recommend the Sueño Profundo box. It contains Valerian mixed with other plants too. I've given to a couple of friends in the US and they liked it.
Another box of infusion of same brand is of Coca leaf (not cocoa but coca). Good for focus. It's from the highlands.
Peruvian brand of soap and shampoo made of oats, it's the brand Ammen's.
They can be found in supermarkets (like Wong, Tottus or Metro).
For ice cream, a natural kind is from a place 'Laritza'. Savous like 'ojaldre', 'franccesca', 'amarento', 'lemon pie', are very good.
THanks for sharing those teas! THat is cool they're making it the US now. We really enjoy the fruit flavored Peruvian ice creams.
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos The brand is in Peru, I sent from Peru to the US. Best wishes.
Cherimoya is Custard Apple - a very popular fruit in India as well. I could chow down multiple of them in a go - they are SO good!
That is so cool to hear! We love them too.
A similar kind is found in India, but the Chirimoya is originally from Peru.
Cool video. Can't wait to go back to Peru this november ; im defenetly trying oceanika restaurant.
Thank you! That is cool tohear!
make another one of these grocery store videos please!
Thanks! We definitely will.
Que agradables 😍😍
Gracias!
espero q se hayan divertido mucho por aquí...
¡Gracias! Nos lo hemos pasado genial.
Very interesting , don't know much about Peruvian food . We used to be able to get quesquena beer in uk
Thank you! That is cool they have that beer in the UK!
me iva a suscribir, pero me di cuenta que ya estaba suscrito -.-
saludos y excelente video. me encanta.
¡Guauu! ¡Muchas gracias!
That Ceviche wow 😋😋😋😍
Thank you!
She's a good balanced woman treat her good
BUEN VIDEO!😀SALUDOS DESDE LAS VEGAS NEVADA!🤗
Gracias! Espero que estés divirtiéndote en Las Vegas. Echamos de menos ese lugar.
Great video...supermarkets are always my first port of call in a new country. I really want to know if the ceviche (sp?) was good!
Thank you! That is cool to hear. It was incredible. I ate it probably 5-8 more times...haha
Andrea, those escalator are in the Walmart store at Scarborough Town Centre. Yes, in Ontario Canada.
Oh, that is cool to hear!
Roast Chickens go for $4.50 CAD in Mexico - would have them for dinner often this past winter!
Wow! That is a good deal James! I'd be eating them often at that price.
If this is the Wong in Miraflores, me and my boyfriend went here a lot during my trip in Lima, Peru! Hes from there and it was awesome going to Wong to get groceries. We both love your videos! I just left there in August
Thank you very much! That is the same one. Very cool.
I loved Wong when I lived in Peru, but the local Mercado prices for Ceviche are better than this!
Thanks! That is cool to hear. What was the price of Ceviche from the local outdoor markets?
At markets they have really good ceviche for 10 soles
Nice video 😊
Thanks for watching!
you guys are back in Peru .
Thanks! We are back :)
Lol at 5:25..I went to Lima Peru for 3 weeks in August 1995 with my mom to visit family and that's all I ate and drank the entire 3 weeks. I was 12 years old and afraid to try anything else so I lived off those fries, roasted chicken and Inca Cola. I remember having pizza hut too but it was nowhere near as good as it was in the states so I stuck with the chicken and fries. Now as an adult I love Peruvian food
Ah, that is a cool story! We love Peruvian food as well.
Wong is only a small supermarket in PERU. The biggest supermarket in Peru is PLAZA VEA. Peruvians families like to buy in this supermarket because this has many traditional products about the culture inca . also in PLAZA VEA has the low prices in contrast with other small supermarkest. Samuel and Audrey have to visit PLAZA VEA.
Thank you! Would love to visit Plaza Vea next time!
jaaaaa how much money INTERBANK group give it to you???????
The super market looks very similar to the ones in the USA. Maybe you guys can go to a local market for a more peruvian experience. Love your videos . 😁
Nelson W. Wongs is actually full of peruvian products. Most markets are very well stocked with western products too. Otherwise, people shop in open markets for meat, fish, cheese, produce. But it's limited. Lima is very nice and well developed. U won't find a lot of traditional places in Miraflores/barranco.
Thank you! We should try to visit a more crowded one.
Welcome to my country! :)
Thank you! We're so happy to be back.
You guys kiled it!
Thanks!
Hello guys, the other day I told you on another vlog that you were staying close to my grandma apt, just saw this vid and you are pretty much across street from her building! What a coincidence... she’s on the white building called Royal Palace almost in front of the little bridge crossing the ‘bajada (pretty much behind Sam where he was sitting at the bajada) ’. I will visiting her from the States in a week and a half so I hope we cross path (maybe I see you at Wong 😂)... thank again for the vlogs ‘neighbors’... lol. Regards, Marco
Thank you! Wow, that is incredible. That area is somewhere we walk every single day. Hope you have a great trip Marco. Unfortunately, we filmed this a little while ago so we're not in Peru right now.
