Eat & Flipa
A couple years ago the Vallehermoso market made a 180º turn and resurfaced with a different and innovative proposal in the capital: shopping and filling the stomach began to go hand in hand.
A luxury that, since then, has turned that boring weekly activity into a gastronomic feast.
Tripea is a South American slang word meaning eat with pleasure . A whole declaration of intentions of what **Roberto Martínez (ex Nakeima) ** is looking for behind the bar of his space: a high table and 16 stools from which to enjoy in a casual atmosphere.
A very free cuisine that depends on what has arrived in Vallehermoso that day . The entire menu is made with fresh products from the surrounding stalls. And it is that having Higinio, the great guru of birds, close by is a luxury that cannot be given up.
Tripea means to eat with pleasure, a declaration of intent
The elaborations fundamentally revolve around the Peruvian cuisine with nods to the Asian continent.
Dishes typical of the Chifa or Nikkei gastronomic tradition are the basis of a short menu with some extra that it is highly recommended to ask for.
A good start is wild sea bass tiradito, where the dominance of tiger's milk acid contrasts with the fruit of the passion and with the fish, cut generously so that it is not diluted by such power.
They are followed by shitakes Y portobello with garlic and ginger on fried egg cream, very tasty mushrooms that invite you to spread on that cream without stopping. More bread, please!
You won't be able to resist ordering more bread to spread on the delicious cream
We continue with the Garlic red prawn with satay sauce and black garlic , traditional flavors with an exotic touch. The best thing you can do is suck on your head and get your hands dirty. a delight
Remarkable the wok-open mussel ceviche with leche de tigre from yellow chili peppers, good-sized bivalves and a lot of meatiness that go perfectly with those citrus and herbal touches and the smoky punch.
The fried duck confit wonton, mole, pomegranate and kikos It is a powerful bite that plays with different textures and where the unctuousness of the duck stands out.

Then the Boletus green curry with fried baby squid , a newly incorporated dish that has come to stay. The light frying of the chipis and the creaminess of the green curry form a magnificent duo.
We finish with the anticuchada duck gizzard and asparagus with pieces of dried and lacquered octopus , a sea and mountains in its own way that works perfectly and puts the perfect finishing touch to the menu.
Tripea it is this, share a table in the aisle of a market where you can breathe good vibes and where the eclectic combinations of flavors and fresh produce are the stars. In short, eat and freak out.
Tripe, eat and freak out!
