- Do you think fusion food is just something new and flashy? Macanese cuisine, the world’s first fusion food, actually has a history dating back to the 16th century.

From restaurants dedicated to Macanese food to the local version of Cantonese diners, let’s go on a food crawl to learn more about this sophisticated cuisine with a fascinating history.

#Macau #Macanese #Food
Macanese cuisine is mostly homestyle cooking. What’s your favorite home-cooked food🍲?
Favs are home made tamales, chicken Laab, Vietnamese rice plates, tacos and enchiladas etc. I cook pretty much all day every day. I come from a line of great cooks.
What is the language being spoken there (besides Portuguese) Can people understand Mandarin? Thank you!
hi @@mahesh7069. Most people speak Cantonese there. A lot of people understand Mandarin as well.
Thank you, I wish you guys much success with your wonderful channel. I hope you can sometime do a piece on Fujian province and the Taiwanese coming over. And some day maybe Richmond in Vancouver BC. Regards, MK@@Goldthread
As an Asian I discovered Portuguese food first by way of Brazil, there so much soul n effort to those braised dishes, it’s like you re eating home safe food. Portuguese food and its communities around the world makes more interesting and so much to discover its should be in a miniseries.
Wow...this was an eye opening video. It broadened my understanding of Macanese food beyond merely Portuguese egg tarts and pork chop buns. I really wish Macanese food were more widely available in the U.S. It's so hard to find.
Yep we were fascinated by the rich culinary culture too after going down the rabbit hole. Stay tuned for episode 2!
The most famous Asian dish is probably sushi but where's the underrated stuff at?
All the rest of the world only sushi. . .how pathetic!@@applealecconwozonki8795
Fun video, I'm glad to be living in Macau. Just love seeing the scenes you captured around Macau as well.
As someone who is a Macanese, this is amazing! Love the video! 😍😍😍🇲🇴🇲🇴🇲🇴
And yall gonna ignore how cute the host is😆😆
lol yeah she’s gorgeous
what is yoyo’s ig?
She is so beautiful
Ngl this channel deserves all the hype again
I love how Ana's reason of learning in the kitchen warrants a tasting :)) That grin on her face and sparkle in her eyes. Absolutely endearing. Made me tear up too;)
This video tells a lot about Macanese cuisine. I visited Macau twice,but I barely knew about the food in Macau. Maybe i was too stuck in Hotel areas I guess?? 😂😂 This video is really helpful to understand culture in Macau better. I'm looking forward to see Macau edition episode 2!
I’m from the Philippines and I’m sure it’s widely known that the Spanish have colonized us for over 300 years. A lot of the dishes here are also a fusion of Chinese, Spanish & Malay or more Southeast Asian flavors. My grandma used to cook this dish called Arroz Ala Cubana , which I’m not sure if it’s a purely Spanish dish or if it’s fusion, but it reminds me of what I saw in your video. It’s fried rice with minced meat, diced potatoes, raisins and people usually eat it with fried bananas on the side.
Visited Macau twice (but not the casinos) and really enjoyed eating at the small hole in wall restaurants. Delicious 😊
Love Ana! Her tone, her stories, her aura, please a more in depth interview please.
Ahhh as a Macanese, we love Macanese representation!! 🇲🇴
First time I realised Macau had its own sub-type of cuisine to HK. Thanks !
I love thus series- the hist does an amazing job 😊
Thank you! This means a lot to us.🩷
welcome back!
Yesss new goldthread content
Looking forward to this new series.
Enjoyed the video. Thank you.
We are glad!
Thank you! I live for this type of content.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for your support:)
thanks for introducing macanese food
Awesome video! I just found your chanel a few days ago, and became a subscriber 😍The videos are of professional quality, and the contents were refreshing. I found them more enjoyable that the corporate-produced adverts. Keep up the good work 👍
Thank you! 😊
mmm... yeah, Tacho is an amazing Macanese food. but i still prefer classic boiled bacalhau with boiled potatoes(bacalhau de consoada). it sounds bland, but with the white wine vinegar, it's so good with a nice subtle depth of flavour. although that's probably more full-on Portuguese food. i wonder if they ever blended bacalhau with steamed Macanese salted fish? 😅 the port along R. de Navegantas in Coloane used to have the best Fourfinger threadfin salted fish(馬友鹹魚) being hung dry there (over 20 years ago).
This kind of makes me sad because the only time I went to Macau, I was a bit queasy from the diesel smell on the ferry and didn't enjoy the food as much as I could have.
Face intensity is proportional to food enjoyment… so the more intense you look the better the food is 😆
I can confirm, there is no Malaysian chicken here in Malaysia. 😂
😂😂🙏
damn macaunese auntie cantonese on point!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
This brings back a lots of memories of me going to Macau with my grandpa when I was a kid. From Hong Kong in the early 80’s Who is always eating there and I love the food❤❤❤
I don't love the term fusion food. I also don't love the term authentic food. Take a simple dish like mapo tofu. There are so many versions and who is to say one is more authentic than another. The important thing is to respect the history and culture that created the dish. As long as people cook out of love, that's all that matters.
Lovely to see people keeping macanese food alive and sharing the recipes.
Peranakan food - Malay, Chinese, Indian started 600 years ago. That's the first fusion
I believe Peranakan food started earlier.
really? is it as early as 1550s when Portuguese started having a permanent colony in Macau?
@@BenjiSunsurprisingly yes! Peranakan identity is believed to have arrived with Hang Li Po’s marriage with Sultan Mansuh Shah in the mid 1400s. Baba and Nyonya was born from there
Don't apologise for taking your job seriously and emoting as such! Where I'm from Indian-Canadian cuisine reigns supreme.
Macanese cuisine, this was the first time I ever heard of it. Just like the owner of the restaurant, I too, was in the kitchen beside my mother helping her prepare the ingredients for her to cook. That was how I learned how to cook some of the Cantonese dishes. I was only 5 yrs.
(I was the daughter mom never had.)
I first thing I ever cook was barbecue rice. What is barbecue rice you say? It is when you didn’t put enough water in the pot of rice and burned the rice. When Mom came home from work I had already had a new pot of steamed rice ready but she can smell something was burning and checked the pot but that appeared to be fine and then she check garbage.
The jig is up, run for your lives. I learned very quickly how to cook perfectly steam rice after I got an educational spanking from her. 😂
Your appearance looks fine. Did not see anything wrong. Was more interested in Macanese cooking.
But you do look familiar, you weren’t the RUclips lady with that smashed the rolling egg on the table at the restaurant, that was so funny,
was that you? 😂 Just curious.
Take care and have a blessed day.
🙏🙏🙏
Whilst Philippine cuisine and Macanese cuisine fight over the title of "Asia's first fusion cuisine", Peranakan food enters the chat and beats us both soundly by TWO HUNDRED MORE YEARS. Philippine cuisine is only older than Macanese cuisine by a decade or so?
all food is fusion food isnt it?
Promo SM ❣️
I'm not sure why there's this disproportionate attention on 1% of the Macau population. The culture there is overwhelmingly Cantonese.
马来人不是马来西亚人 😭
maLaiChaN LAh 🤭
hmmm... they would love to claim the world's first fusion food... but I think there is a better contender: The Peranakan food
