We were quite exhausted after a day of walking in the sun and I wanted something cold and non alcoholic to cool me down.
We headed to this food court after Pop Brixton and the Chicha Morada looked interesting. I asked the guy what it was and he said it was a drink made from purple corn, lemon, cinnamon and some other things. How cool is that!
The guy who helped me was actually from the food stall opposite, but since the owners of The Peruvian Corner weren't around, he generously came over to help. He did not know much more about what was offered here and there was no menu.
The Chicha Morada was in large glass containers, so he was able to easily pour me a tall glass. I did not see a menu for what else is on offer at this stall. I got the impression that the home cooks who run this stall, just sell whatever they have cooked fresh on that day. I could be mistaken though.
The Chicha Morada was lovely. Not overly sweet, but very refreshing, topped with some apple bits, perfect for a hot sunny day. read more
