QUEENS — A new Peruvian restaurant that just opened in Forest Hills features a Pisco bar and offers a menu with an Asian twist, the owner said.

La Coya, at 98-35 Metropolitan Ave., replaced Chalet Alpina, a German eatery that closed last November after nearly three decades.

The owner, Jessica Yui, 39, who is Peruvian of Japanese and Chinese descent, said she wanted the menu to reflect her heritage.

The chef, she said, is also Peruvian Japanese and several dishes fuse Peruvian and Asian flavors.

For example, Lomo Saltado ($15.95), which consists of grilled skirt steak, onions, tomatoes, French fries and rice, was invented by Chinese immigrants who settled in Peru and is cooked in a wok on high flame, she said.

The menu also includes Tallatin Chifa, Peruvian style lo mein and Chaufa, a Peruvian-style fried rice. Both dishes are served with chicken ($13.95), beef ($14.95), shrimp ($15.95) or seafood ($16.95).

Also on the menu are more typical Peruvian dishes such as Ceviche de Pescado, which consists of diced fish marinated in lime juice, corn, sweet potato and salsa ($14.95) and La Coya Combo, which includes a whole chicken, salchipapas — a popular Peruvian dish made of beef sausages and French fries — rice and beans and fried plantanes ($29.95).

The restaurant also boasts a Pisco bar, serving several varieties of the popular Peruvian coctail Pisco Sour, including strawberry, melon and passion fruit flavors (all drinks are $7). Several other drinks on the menu also include Pisco, including Mojitos.

Yui, whose mother owned an eatery in Lima, said she wanted to open a restaurant ever since her family immigrated to the U.S. in 1988.

She said she picked Metropolitan Avenue because it's known as a dining destination, but yet, while there are many Italian restaurants in the area, very few eateries serve South American cuisine.

Yui, currently a Rego Park resident, named it La Coya, which in Quechuan, one of the languages spoken in Peru, means "queen."

"I come from a family of very strong women," she said, adding that her goal is to make her patrons "feel at home."

NATCHITOCHES, La. - The Northwestern State University Demon family came together to help one of its own this week as faculty and friends rallied to the assistance of Jessica Thompson, a student from Forest Hill who was set to graduate Friday, Dec. 18.

On Monday, Dec. 14, Thompson returned home from taking a final exam to find her house in flames. No one, including Thompson’s husband and five children, was home at the time and all are safe, but the home was a total loss – Christmas gifts, irreplaceable family pictures, everything. Her family’s previous home was lost in a fire four years ago.

Thompson earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a biomedical concentration and a minor in chemistry along with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. Despite the week’s tragedy, she moved forward with her plans to participate in both the 1 p.m. ceremony for graduates in the College of Arts and Sciences and the 4 p.m. ceremony for graduates in the College of Education and Human Development.

This week’s fire trails a long string of challenges for Thompson’s family. Last year her son was diagnosed with idiopathic gastroparesis and relies totally on a GJ feeding tube for nutrition. This year, he had three surgeries and around 15 hospital admissions, which slowed after the feeding tube was placed in February. Her daughter went into liver failure earlier this semester and was flown to New Orleans Children’s Hospital. She is now doing much better and in stable condition, Thompson said.

Thompson works nights in the neonatal intensive care unit at Cabrini Hospital in Alexandria as a unit secretary and lactation counselor. Through COVID-19, she has worked in other units as well.

“This woman is truly an inspiration,” said Dr. Christopher Lyles, interim director of the School of Biological and Physical Sciences. “I think most of us would have given up, but she continued to fight and is graduating with two degrees through a pandemic. We often cite her ability to keep moving forward. She is a true inspiration for us here in Biology.”

“Her strength of character shines bright as Jessica continues to count her blessings in the face of adversity,” said Dr. Susan Thorson-Barnett, chair of the Department of Psychology.

Thompson is a first-generation college student and hopes to attend medical school.

“I wouldn’t be graduating right now if it weren’t for my professors. They have been amazingly compassionate and have allowed me to make up anything I missed,” Thompson said.

As the news of Thompson’s tragedy spread, Northwestern State faculty and friends began discussing how they could help. The Department of Psychology put forth $500 that was matched by the NSU Foundation. As Thompson crossed the stage during Friday’s 1 p.m. ceremony, NSU President Dr. Chris Maggio presented her with the donation and then her diploma.

“My most valuable experience is to persevere through everything,” Thompson said. “We’ve gone through a lot as a family and I’m just glad it’s all over and I get to graduate with two degrees.”

“Her journey was certainly not easy and this gift to her and her family will be very special,” Lyles said.

Faculty also worked with the NSU Foundation to establish a continuing support fund.

Anyone who would like to contribute can do so by visiting https://www.northwesternstatealumni.com/donations/make-a-gift/ and specify through the drop-down menus that the gift is for the Jessica B. Thompson Support Fund.

FOREST HILL, La. (LBM) – Pastor Mike Evans recently missed two months in the pulpit during a fierce battle with cancer and other medical issues, but through those trials he experienced God’s goodness through the love displayed by his church.

Meanwhile, his congregation, Elwood Baptist Church, Forest Hill, has experienced a personal revival with eight baptisms since April. Five other new believers are awaiting baptism.

“They stepped up,” Evans told the Baptist Message. “Since this church was founded in 1912, we have had love, respect and unity. You can never underestimate the value of a prayer or receiving a card from someone. That helped get me through some very difficult days. They stood in the gap for me when I wasn’t able.”

Evans, from April 11-June 16, spent time in Alexandria and Baton Rouge hospitals and at home as he underwent surgery for prostate cancer and fought off pneumonia and multiple embolisms (obstruction of his arteries).

While he was away from the pulpit, Evans said the members and other Louisiana Baptists never ceased showing their love.

His church continued paying his salary, cared for the facility and grounds and sent him numerous messages of encouragement.

Moreover, Elwood Baptist Music Minister Bobby Mills, Louisiana Baptists Executive Director Steve Horn, Louisiana Christian University Chief Operations Officer David Jeffreys, lay Pastor Clovis Christman, Philadelphia Baptist Church (Horseshoe Drive campus, Alexandria) Minister of Students Andrew Barber and International Mission Board Missionary (on furlough) David McCann filled the pulpit while Evans was unable to preach.

Once Evans returned, God continued to pour out his blessings through nine salvation decisions during children’s and youth summer camps at Tall Timbers Baptist Conference Center in Woodworth.

Among those who decided to follow Christ since Evans’ return was Owen Jenkins, who was baptized July 24.

For two months, Jenkins helped operate the sound system in worship and on July 17 he finally realized he needed the Savior.

“At the end of the invitation, I saw him stand and he had his hand up in the air like he was going to ‘high five’ me,” Evans recalled. “I thought he was just signaling, ‘It was a wrap and all went well.’

“But later that afternoon he called our youth minister, Brother Brett Faulk, and told him he wanted to be saved and did so over the phone,” he continued. “I kidded him that my other thought had been maybe he was high fiving an angel.”

Evans said he appreciates how his church rallied around him in his moment of need and is grateful for the subsequent revival the Holy Spirit brought.

“We knew our members loved us, but they loved the Lord too and were just like Nehemiah 4:6, as they ‘had a mind to work,’” Evans said. “I told them that I wondered if they realized that they did better without me than with me, but they were generous and said it wasn’t so. May the Lord bless them and all who prayed and helped.”
