Food in Macau is mainly based on both [[Cantonese cuisine|Cantonese]] and [[Portuguese cuisine]], drawing influences from [[Indian cuisine|Indian]] and [[Malay cuisine|Malay]] dishes as well, reflecting a unique cultural and culinary blend after centuries of colonial rule.<ref>{{harvnb|Long|2015|p=389}}.</ref> Portuguese recipes were adapted to use local ingredients, such as fresh seafood, [[turmeric]], [[coconut milk]], and [[adzuki bean]]s. These adaptations produced Macanese variations of traditional Portuguese dishes including ''[[caldo verde]]'', [[minchee]], and ''[[cozido à portuguesa]]''. While many restaurants claim to serve traditional Portuguese or Macanese dishes, most serve a mix of Cantonese-Portuguese fusion cuisine. ''[[Galinha à portuguesa]]'' is an example of a Chinese dish that draws from Macanese influences, but is not part of Macanese cuisine.<ref name="LongMacauFood">{{harvnb|Long|2015|p=390}}.</ref> ''[[Cha chaan teng]]'', a type of fast casual diner originating in Hong Kong that serves that region's interpretation of Western food, are also prevalent in Macau.<ref>{{harvnb|Long|2015|p=391}}.</ref> ''[[Pastel de nata]]'', [[pork chop bun]]s, and [[almond biscuit]]s are popular street food items.<ref name="LongMacauFood" />
