In Mexico .f. - the y serve meals and eat èm "hot and spicy"
but in Chile they prefer European Style like food without pepper and chilli..
Does a typical inhabitant of Panama prefer "hot" ?

Or better: " S o m e like it hot" :-) ?

Cheers

What about Panamasian Beer?
It`s like Heineken or Michelob?
Millers or Molson?
:-)
Does they have their own breweries in Panama?
And how does it taste?

Thanks for sharing such information. I don't know any Panamian food. The food in the pictures look delicious. Is there a special beef or pork Panamian cuisine?

Those are plantains that have been smashed and fried.

Panamanians like to use the herb culantro in their chicken soups.

I am not sure which you are refering to, but neither the fried plantains or the herb culantro are spicy.
Panamanian food is not spicy per say.
When a Panamanian wants spicy food, he goes to a Mexican resturant.

Napoli is a great restaurant and I like their pizza, but have decided that the pizza at Pizza Italia is better (the owners of the two restaurants are related). My favorite restaurant in Panama is the Waikiki Aloha, near the intersection of Calle 12 de Octubre and Via Espana. It's a step down in classiness from the Napoli, but I like their menu, and it's inexpensive. They also have the best sangria I have had anywhere in the world, including Spain.

If you're looking for an interesting twist on Panamanian cuisine, there's a restaurant called Apetito's near Condado del Rey that is delicious!

About That "World's Best Coffee"

During conversations with my brother in the US about my Latin America intentions, he mentions 'World's Best Coffee" .. quite dear, I suppose. Can someone shed some light .. as well as price and ordering info .. on this super java?
