Keeping it Global—Roots and Trends of Macanese Cooking
【Information】
Content: It is in a simple way that we characterize the so-called Macanese gastronomy as a fusion between the traditional Portuguese and Chinese food. It might be, though in a long slow pace. We can't forget the other roots, other tastes and flavors from so many places scattered around the world. A multitude of ingredients and culinary techniques that crossed the oceans, created and still recreate this creole blend, so fascinating and complex, which is Macanese food.
