 cantonese cuisine
Cantonese cuisine is sometimes considered bland by Westerners used to thicker, richer and darker sauces of other Chinese cuisines.
Spicy hot dishes are extremely rare in Cantonese cuisine.
The prominence of Cantonese cuisine outside China is likely due to the disproportionate emigration from this region, as well as the relative accessibility of some Cantonese dishes to foreign palates.

The European parentage of Macanese cuisine can be traced to the colonising endeavours of the Portuguese.
Imagine a cuisine in which the zingy flavours of Portuguese cuisine emerge in each morsel.

 Small is beautiful
Macanese cuisine is a mixture of Portuguese and Chinese cuisine, so it is unique - you can't find it everywhere in the world.
Macanese cuisine is part of the heritage of Macau, and I think the government recognizes that.
Twenty or thirty years ago, it was impossible to find Macanese restaurants, because Macanese food was made at home, and recipes were passed on from generation to generation.

 BBC News FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT Macau: Mediterranean life on the South China Sea
Macanese cuisine is a melting pot of Portuguese and Chinese influence
This display of typical Macanese food, a melting pot of Chinese and Portuguese cuisine, is one of my favourite items in Macau's newest museum, opened just last year.
Piles of curried crab, baked in their shells, a pot of sausage and beef stew overflowing with Chinese vegetables, coconut sponge cake glistening with icing, sliced and ready to serve - they all looked delicious, despite the fact they were hard as rocks.

Macanese food is something that’s cooked and eaten at home.” Jesus is considered the foremost authority on Macanese food in Macau.

 Secrets of the Macanese Kitchen.
Macanese cooking is not simply a cross between Portuguese (the coloniser) and the local Chinese (the colonised).
Today, mainly as a result of the Macanese diaspora, the cuisine is adapting itself to locally available ingredients across the world, often making substitutions, to produce dishes which have the spirit of Macanese cooking, but are far from traditional.
A guide to which restaurants serve the best or most typical Macanese dishes can be found in Taste of Macau; and this cookbook also includes details of where in Macau to buy essential ingredients to start experimenting with this cuisine at home.

 The Macanese Grill
In other words, you have a fusion of Chinese and Portuguese culinary cultures-known locally as Macanese cuisine.
This is also one of the few places in China (or soon to be China, as the colony will revert to the Mainland in 1999), where grilling is widespread, for the Portuguese brought grilling to China, a country whose complex cuisine is remarkable, and surprising, for its lack of live-fire cooking.
Today, only 5 percent of the mostly Chinese population speaks Portuguese, but you still find Baroque churches, markets selling salt cod and olive oil, and pastry shops specializing in Portuguese pastries.

The entire cuisine is in danger of disappearing.
Put simply, it is essentially Portuguese cooking accented with Asian spices and excellent, locally available meat, fish and vegetables; and featuring non-perishables off the ships such as olive oil, bacalhau and churico.
This recipe tells that story beautifully – excellent local pork (as well as tasty local onions and garlic), local unrefined sugar blocks known as jaggery, southeast Asian tamarind and, finally, the unique Macanese fermented shrimp sauce, balichao.
