Thank you so much of making Portuguese Settlement and myself as part of your travels adventure. I had a lovely time speaking with the two of you. Thank you Ivana and Steve.
Saudações do Brasil. Que lindo ver a imagem do Sagrado Coração de Jesus num lar tão distante do Brasil. Compartilhamos da mesma fé na Santa Igreja Católica Romana e da mesma alma lusitana. Viva Cristo Rei! Salve Maria Santíssima!
Malaysia is always known by malay, Chinese and Indian but there are many other ethnic groups i.e. Iban, Kadazan, Sikh, Portuguese, Dayak etc. If you travel to East Malaysia, you will see another group of diverse ethnic groups
I have to say this new breed of tourists in Malaysia, you guys are one of them ... are awesome!!! Its not about touristy areas and fancy hotels BUT you guys really explore into the local culture, immerse yourself in the local traditions, the food and all the beaten and less explored paths, I am a Malaysian in Miami still learning about my country tru your eyes, for that I am very Thankful! You Raya video made me very nostalgic, with C-19 raging in southern Florida and the small Malaysian community here ... hard for one not to feel a little homesick. Stay safe and enjoy Malaysia and the rest of the world, to Ivana .. Terima Kasih kerana meluangkan masa dan tenaga mengenali Malaysia, salam sejahtera saudara serumpun!
Wow, great comment! Appreciate those kinds words. Hope things in Florida, USA, and even the entire world get back to normal quickly enough. Stay safe! And thanks for watching
Congrats on your baby, and also, the Portuguese settlement in Melaka is formed pretty late, so the original Portuguese resided in praya lane at first where the assumption chapel and now demolished St john chapel is. Most Portuguese are under the care of the parish of St peter church which was built in 1710 with ancient traditions during the holy week with the old wooden statues.
So meaningful vlog, thanks for sharing. As a Malaysian, I don’t even really know about this culture. I can feel the warm welcome from the Kristang lady. I hope she can finally visit Portugal soon. All the best, Philomena.
Interestingly my neighbors in Sabah are Portuguese decent. They are Gomes family. I still remember their late Portuguese grandfather was tall and very tanned. He was married to a local Kadazan woman. Their children looked a bit Eurasian because Kadazan people are generally light skinned. When I was still a kid, me and my family would go to their house for Christmas. Now most of them already converted to Islam, so no more big Christmas celebration. The grandmother also converted to Islam mere weeks before her passing. When she passed, on her left her relatives read from the Bible while on her right the villagers recite the Quran. That was the testament on how harmonious people of Borneo are.
Amazing story. There are few things more beautiful than people connecting, despite their differences. Tolerance is one thing, but appreciation is really something. Thanks for sharing that
@@JohnL-m2l i think it could be done on separate occasions... But its still considered a rare sight for different congregations to join in the funeral ritual.
To note, the Bible reading happened because some of the relatives were still hoping that the funeral should be done in Christian rites of passage. As I wrote, the grandmother converted to Islam really close to her death. After much deliberation between the two parties and there were evidences that she had converted, she was put to rest in Islamic rites of passage. There was no hostility at all and the whole thing happened peacefully. Bila jenazah diangkat untuk dibawa ke tanah perkuburan, amat menakjubkan yang ianya sangat-sangat ringan. Semoga nenek tu beroleh kebaikan dan balasan Syurga di akhirat kelak.
@@yanputra83 definitely a rare case because of her conversion very close to the death. Nevertheless, both parties could work it out the problems together quite well is considered a great success for a harmoneous multicultural society. I hope this kind of goodwill attitudes will linger on for future generations to come.
I was pleasantly surprised to find packaged paste for Portuguese style fish in a supermarket. It was pretty good, you would probably want to get some before you leave Malaysia. Easy to use!
The recipe is different than in KL my friend this kristang melaka style. KL Chinese style they misused the Portuguese name. KL do Chinese recipe ikan bakar
I've read a newspaper report 10-15 years ago, there is a research done about Kristang people. The research mainly focused on their culture and language, which is Kristang language. According to the study, Kristang language much more 'pure' and 'bolder' than the recent Portuguese language spoken by most Portuguese in Portugal nowadays. They even hold,keep and used some of a very old and ancient words and phrases of Portuguese language. The real bloodline of past of Portuguese language that haven't mixed up with any languages ( in certain words/phrases ) including Malay language. The report is so long and I only able to read just half of it.
@@JetLagWarriors I really hope this language is well preserved 🙏. Because this language is currently listed as a SEVERELY ENDANGERED by UNESCO. As a Malaccan, this is one of the most jewel and unique heritage about my own state. Kristang language is the ONLY language in Malaysia that purely outside of the Austronesian languages family. It was based from the direct ancestor of Portuguese lineage that came to Malacca more than 500 years ago. Most youngest nowadays don't want to speak or preferred to speak English, rather than their own heritage
Wow! I learn more about Malaysia diversity cultures because of your vlog videos although I’m a Malaysian. Thanks for you guys Steve & Ivana, you guys such an amazing explorer 👍🏻 👏🏻
Very interesting ,And very nice to know that the Portuguese heritage it's still celebrated for good people for centuries so far away God bless them. Obrigado que Deus vos proteja.
Hopefully your video will help shed some light on the Kristang culture! I'm Malaccan but I never knew about this side of Kristang. Great job in unearthing a great hidden jewel in Malacca.
Seems every dish in Malacca is a fusion of "(Fill in the blank) + Malay". Interesting. I think Malacca is very unique in a sense that there is alot of fusion in food, cultures etc. Even for Malaysian standards.
Hello Steve & Ivana, Apa Khabar? Wow.....The Portuguese Foods Look Yummy. *Philomena Next Holiday Destination.....Portugal 😎 All The Best & Take Care U 2.
I used to stay near the Settlement, Ujong Pasir to be exact, there's a famous restaurant right in front of the Portuguese Settlement road, they serve the best mee rebus, mee kahwin there....only available from 11am to about 1pm where it will be sold out....try that if you can
You re wrong. The govt help them alot. Bringing tourist and exposing them. Not like other neighbouring country which don't acknowledge other cultures. Way back , they were very poor fisherman living in shacks.. the Malaysia govt. Help them alot , by building up their settlement and helping them and promoting them through the Malaysian tourist organisation . .
My parents have a friend who was a fisherman in the Portuguese settlement and I remembered we visited him once and he prepared a great Portuguese feast. Everything was so tasty.
I wonder if there is a Dutch settlement in Malaysia? For English culture, you can check out Jason Brooke, from the Brooke Dynasty ruling Sarawak during British Colonial era. Beer For Breakfast met him in Sarawak in one video.
I love this kind of content. Hope you guys keep this kind of interview thing in your future vlog. Love to learn about other countries unique cultures too
Famous kristang persons would be Roy and Fran who were a popular singing duo back in the 80s. Fran (Francesca Peter) eventually became a successful solo artiste singing malay songs.
Glad to see Steve eating fish. It really depends on how it's cooked. Steamed, Deep-friied, shallow-fry, baked, fillet stir-fry, semi-fry with sauce, sweet and sour fish. Grilled, ...many ways of cooking different kinds of fish. Enjoy!
Bringing fond memories of my secondary school days at Sacred Heart Canossian Secondary school which is located in the Portuguese settlement. I am now living in Petaling Jaya, Selangor. Many of my schoolmates were from the Portuguese settlement !
Would you come to Sg Buloh, I like to recommend you to try Malaya Grill.. its one of the best nasi arabs, you can try the tray set.. they have both chicken & lamb.. if you dont want to try the tray set, you can try other menu as well.
We have mixed Local and Portugese people too in Flores Island, Indonesia, and they keep their Portuguese last name such as da Silva, Parera, and da Costa.
There are also Portuguese Eurasians in North Jakarta as well, known as Mardijkers. They were brought by the Dutch from Melaka, Goa, Sri Lanka, Bengal and Africa (descendants of Portuguese colonists who mixed with local people) and settle in what is now known as Kampung Tugu. Only now, they cannot speak their Papia creole anymore as as time goes by, they speak Betawi more. In Aceh, there are also Acehnese people who are of mixed Portuguese descent in the region of Lamno.
A lil bit of history there.. such a informative things to learn from your video contents.. remember starting august, everyone should wear facemask, stay safe😊😊😊
Im a Malaccan and let me tell you something about this Kampung Portugese , every year Christmas , 80% of the houses in that area will be decorated , but not just normal decorations , they actually compete for it and most people would usually drive their cars pass by and admire the decorations, most people even go inside the houses just to take pictures . I could go on and on but ill let u guys discover it .
There are Portuguese influence in Indonesia as well.. in some words that have portuguese origin like Bola, gereja, minggu, pesta (festa), boneka, gratis and many others.. you dan find some in wikipedia...
4:25 i have never seen Steve took 2 spoonful of rice, chicken and gravy BEFORE reacting! Must be delish!!! Could this food finally defeat the Champion Nasi Kukus Ayam??
You come to malaysia as a mat salleh man and generally schools the majority of us Malaysians with this content. So interesting. As a Malaccan myself i dont know these things.
WARNING ⚠ The sky is falling!!! Steve's favourite dish was the FISH!! I have a friend who was eurasian / kristang who originated from Melaka as well but I never knew about Kristang until you guys mentioned it. My friend just told us her dad is Portuguese and her mom is Chinese and thats about it. I also knew about Portuguese influences in Melaka through the history books and have visited melaka many times but i never even knew about the Portuguese settlement and the village or community. I learnt a lot tonight 😂
Since you two are in Malacca, and you like spicy food...you should try out the "capital": of Malaysia spicy food -the state of Negeri Sembilan. It's just next to Malacca.
For your information i was born in portugal , i speak two type of portuguese from Portugal and Brazilian portuguese. According to the Christang lady she says that kristang language can be understood by the portugal people i dont think so...may one or two words only.
Thank you for the amazing bit of history of the Kristang. It would have been awesome to hear Filomena say a few sentences in Kristang... Maybe your vlog will be seen by those people in the right places who will jump start the preservation efforts to "save" the Kristang community from disappearing. Oh btw I have a good friend from Toronto.He has been living in Kuala Terengganu for over 30 yrs but still hates fish.He should follow you guys around.He might start liking fish too lol
yes, you are right! would have been more interesting for sure. But you can check out the facebook page on the description to see how the language sounds. And yes! haha, Steve’s tastebud is definitely evolving
JetLag Warriors Thank you.I just did.Very fascinating.Good news UNESCO recognizes Kristang as a Malayo Portuguese Creole.Bad news,it has put Kristang under severely endangered language list 😢
Im a Malay who used to live in a Portugese Settlement in Malacca in Bandar Hilir back in the early 70s. Ive befriended a few portugese kids at our age of 7 to 9 and played together. Only recently my question was answered on why they looked "Indian" than supposedly a white portugese. Well back then the early portugese settlers or qonquerers who wanted to marry and settled down in Malacca couldnt do so with the local Malays becoz of religion. So having their own portugese colonies in India and Sri Lanka prior to coming here, and managed to Christianised some of them, they took the women from there and brought them here to marry. After some time their progenies became more like Indians than white portugese becoz the white side of the fathers ceased to come here after Malacca fell to the Dutch after a hundred years or so. The dutch and british colonisers did not continue this portugese legacy of intermarry with local portugese bred women and they finally lost their whiteness altogether. It was a 400 year old process. Sorry folks, this has nothing to do with racisme. It is just something that was lingering in my head for decades which i finally had the answer to. I welcome other opinion on this issue tho if any.
I go to Sri Lanka at least once in two years..after my first trip,on return..when my "Indian" friends knew I went to Sri Lanka..they would tell me ..they are not " Indian" but Ceylonese and even Portuguese...here in Malaysia we wrongly term people by race but what's race to us is actually Nationality..If I go China, sure am ethnic Chinese. ..but nationality -Malaysian.
P/S:Asian shorts brand red and blue stocks are no longer on our shelves, we are waiting for the arrival of overseas shorts red and blue, which is very suitable for Asians.
"Malaysia has got so much to offer , tons of different culture , tons of different food......etc".. but often overshadowed by Thailand , Indonesia & Singapore.... Don't believe me ....ask a foreigner the country they would like to visit in South East Asia for the first time....
Asean countries have high regards for Malaysia, even Singaporeans. I used to work in Singapore. On the surface, they hate Malaysia but deep in their hearts, it is more chill than their country.

Melaka is a gem! They got BabaNyonya, Chetti, Serani/Kristang which all having well over half millenial history living here
Right! What a place to explore
Yeah. Finally you guys go there, that look informative to know them. They are the smallest community in Malaysia. Nice video👍👍.
Hey, thanks for watching! We learned a lot making this video, and really enjoyed making it!
How strong is a culture when 500 years later, the descendants still call themselves portuguese
Steve becoming fish lover eventually...
Slowly but surely!
Steve, Ivana, when you guys goes back to Canada, do make videos about Canada and their culture. Interested to learn about your country too.
Will do! Thanks for sharing this.
Remember going to a stall in KL Chinatown for Portuguese style fish where they cooked it in foil. Wonder if what you guys got is similar
I think it might be! I really enjoyed that dish!
Yes! Quite similar but not very authentic😁
I was pleasantly surprised to find packaged paste for Portuguese style fish in a supermarket. It was pretty good, you would probably want to get some before you leave Malaysia. Easy to use!
The recipe is different than in KL my friend this kristang melaka style. KL Chinese style they misused the Portuguese name. KL do Chinese recipe ikan bakar
When u come to melaka u find for me I cook u try my family recipe baked fish Portuguese style melaka. Btw I am from the Portuguese settlement
Very informative video. Great job👍👍keep safe and healthy.
This is THE PLACE to go to celebrate Christmas. The vibes is Amazing!!
Who knows? Maybe we will still be here during Christmas? lol
Yes i agree...i accidentally got lost there on christmas night..amazing.

Travel down the coastal road from Malacca to Pontian(Johor). Here you can visit the Southern most point of Mainland Asia at a place call Tanjong Piai.
Ah! Too bad we are not in Melaka anymore. Next time!

Malaysia is a country of mixed people....there are a lot of mix which young people even don't know they're mixed
Interesting! Maybe that’s why the people are so welcoming, and the food is so good!
Would you come to Sg Buloh, I like to recommend you to try Malaya Grill.. its one of the best nasi arabs, you can try the tray set.. they have both chicken & lamb.. if you dont want to try the tray set, you can try other menu as well.

Such a beaufiful and clean settlement
4:25 i have never seen Steve took 2 spoonful of rice, chicken and gravy BEFORE reacting! Must be delish!!! Could this food finally defeat the Champion Nasi Kukus Ayam??
Hah! Good point. That food hit the spot so hard lol!
Wott.wottt..visit Borneo soon..here more..exciting..head hunter haha.
we want to. Hope soon after rmco
You come to malaysia as a mat salleh man and generally schools the majority of us Malaysians with this content. So interesting. As a Malaccan myself i dont know these things.
I love this ikan bakar Portuguese. Normally I choose pari lala. In KL you can try at Rock Cafe Bandar Sunway
cool! Thanks for the suggestion!
In m"sia, all the taste and ingredients ,especially in malacca are fusion.enjoy guys.remember your masks.
WARNING ⚠
The sky is falling!!! Steve's favourite dish was the FISH!!
I have a friend who was eurasian / kristang who originated from Melaka as well but I never knew about Kristang until you guys mentioned it. My friend just told us her dad is Portuguese and her mom is Chinese and thats about it. I also knew about Portuguese influences in Melaka through the history books and have visited melaka many times but i never even knew about the Portuguese settlement and the village or community. I learnt a lot tonight 😂
Great! Glad you enjoyed our video!

It was great! ReallyX3 is right 🤣
Once u taste...u cant hold the desire😊😊😊😂
next the chetti community.

really is a unique place!

Hey, thanks! Glad you enjoy! There’s a lot to explore in Malaysia
@@JetLagWarriors Keep enjoy exploring Malaysia Steve n Ivana.
Probably a good idea to keep a list of types of fish that you like. Some fish stink less than others. Fresh water fish usually have less of a stench.
That's a good idea! Slowly more and more fish are on the menu for me
@@JetLagWarriors you know what they say.. plenty of fish in the sea.. XD
Is there any Dutch village in Melaka?
as far as i know, no.... they all moved to Batavia (jakarta, jawa) after the english-dutch treaty...
Guys, thank you for this interview episode on Kristang people. I'm a Malaysian but zero knowledge about them.
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!
nice video..
Let's try our fresh water fish, we have variety of fresh water fish and lots way of cooking.
For your information i was born in portugal , i speak two type of portuguese from Portugal and Brazilian portuguese.
According to the Christang lady she says that kristang language can be understood by the portugal people i dont think so...may one or two words only.
I am a polyglot speaking 10 languages ,.eng, imdonesian, italiano, spanish, portuguese of portugal and brazil, hindi, catalan, rumano Its not easy.
Interesting interview
Hey, thanks! And thanks to Philomena for taking the time to meet us!
Thank you for the amazing bit of history of the Kristang.
It would have been awesome to hear Filomena say a few sentences in Kristang...
Maybe your vlog will be seen by those people in the right places who will jump start the preservation efforts to "save" the Kristang community from disappearing.
Oh btw I have a good friend from Toronto.He has been living in Kuala Terengganu for over 30 yrs but still hates fish.He should follow you guys around.He might start liking fish too lol
yes, you are right! would have been more interesting for sure. But you can check out the facebook page on the description to see how the language sounds.
And yes! haha, Steve’s tastebud is definitely evolving
JetLag Warriors Thank you.I just did.Very fascinating.Good news UNESCO recognizes Kristang as a Malayo Portuguese Creole.Bad news,it has put Kristang under severely endangered language list 😢
Are you going to Sabah and Sarawak after this?
Would love to, but have to see how things work out with the pandemic first!

Im a Malay who used to live in a Portugese Settlement in Malacca in Bandar Hilir back in the early 70s. Ive befriended a few portugese kids at our age of 7 to 9 and played together. Only recently my question was answered on why they looked "Indian" than supposedly a white portugese. Well back then the early portugese settlers or qonquerers who wanted to marry and settled down in Malacca couldnt do so with the local Malays becoz of religion. So having their own portugese colonies in India and Sri Lanka prior to coming here, and managed to Christianised some of them, they took the women from there and brought them here to marry. After some time their progenies became more like Indians than white portugese becoz the white side of the fathers ceased to come here after Malacca fell to the Dutch after a hundred years or so. The dutch and british colonisers did not continue this portugese legacy of intermarry with local portugese bred women and they finally lost their whiteness altogether. It was a 400 year old process. Sorry folks, this has nothing to do with racisme. It is just something that was lingering in my head for decades which i finally had the answer to. I welcome other opinion on this issue tho if any.
Falta aí a cerveja Super Bock ou Sagres :-)
Hello very nice to see you both again,I want to know how u get money do you work there? How do u managed?
We have some savings, plus we earn a tiny bit from RUclips
Luv this video❤️My last name decosta too!
Are you a Kristang?
JetLag Warriors yes！
I go to Sri Lanka at least once in two years..after my first trip,on return..when my "Indian" friends knew I went to Sri Lanka..they would tell me ..they are not " Indian" but Ceylonese and even Portuguese...here in Malaysia we wrongly term people by race but what's race to us is actually Nationality..If I go China, sure am ethnic Chinese. ..but nationality -Malaysian.
5 stars!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
BOOM! Thanks for watching
Steve has finally succumbed to the temptation of... Fish?
What's next? Steve guzzling down on bottles of budu like there's no tomorrow? Lol!
lol! Budu, anchovy, and cincalok are still off my palate. Working on it!
You call it brinjal.... finally. Everyone else call it Eggplant or aubergine. Hahaha.......
Only 4000 Kristang people on earth! I wish our government will take care this community ASAP.
Amazing, right? It’s an interesting Kampung with incredible history.
of course. they are bumiputeras.
@faridah hanum they are bumiputera.
@faridah hanum kristang and serani include nyonya-baba comunities are considered bumiputera (indegeniously assimilating for nearly 500 years)
P/S:Asian shorts brand red and blue stocks are no longer on our shelves, we are waiting for the arrival of overseas shorts red and blue, which is very suitable for Asians.
Adakah makanan portugis di sini halal? Maaf, sekadar bertanya. Sbb saya belum pernah ke Kg. Portugis. Kalau halal, nak try.
Ya makan di sini halal. Mereka hidangkan kebanyakan sea food and kaki tangan Ada orang Melayu so jangan was was kalau makan di sana.
yup halal...
all you need left on the fish is to put some petai and it is perfect
Mmmm good idea
I have a friend call Ronnie Rozario of Portugese descendent.
The only Portuguese we know is Nando's
Peri peri Sauce and all....
Looks yummy there
Nando's is actually quite yummy tbh
Malaysian- portugis celebrities:
1. Francesca Peter - sekadar di pinggiran
2. Hans isaac - actor/commentator
3. Ben Nathan - nyanyian dalam sepi
Another rare food also famous among chinese in malacca called Wild Food
"Malaysia has got so much to offer , tons of different culture , tons of different food......etc".. but often overshadowed by Thailand , Indonesia & Singapore.... Don't believe me ....ask a foreigner the country they would like to visit in South East Asia for the first time....
It does seem to he overshadowed in terms of beaches and vacations. But maybe not in terms of food? Not sure
Good point
Asean countries have high regards for Malaysia, even Singaporeans. I used to work in Singapore. On the surface, they hate Malaysia but deep in their hearts, it is more chill than their country.
@@elainedickinson7521 why do they hate Malaysia?
@@mafarnsims I don't think they hate us. All of us have differences and everyone is patriotic about their own country.
