Portuguese Cuisine
The Portuguese cuisine or Eurasian cuisine blends the cooking styles of
the Portuguese, Dutch, English, Malay, Chinese and Indian cultures. The cooking isn’t like those of Portugal
itself, but they are still known for their fish, seafood and meat, mixed with the local styles of
cooking.
Portuguese food in Melaka is rich with herbs and spices, shallots,
lemon grass, vinegar and tamarind juice, giving the dishes their aromatic flavours with the delicious
curries, marinates and sauces.
Among some of the most popular Portuguese restaurants are the likes of
Papa Joe Restaurant, Restaurant De Lisbon, Celine’s Cafe and Restaurant Straits Settlement, all located
around the Portuguese Settlement area.
