(Alayna) During my time in the United States, I made it a point to explore a wide range of food spots, especially while living in the DMV area, known for its rich cultural diversity. I enjoyed trying Peruvian chicken at Picca Pollo a la Brasa, flavorful Indian dishes from Tiffin Hut, and even indulged in some of the best matcha ice cream at the famous Japanese Kyoto Matcha spot. Each place offered a unique experience, allowing me to appreciate different cultures through their food and making my stay even more memorable.
