Macanese food has roots from all over the world but with the strongest influences from China. One dish, whose origin is debated, is African Chicken, although some say that it is really from Goa, a Portuguese colony in India. Either way, people love the chicken dish which makes the most of the spices that are readily available. Since Macao is located on the ocean, seafood is also prominent. Whether it is fish, lobster, crab, or prawns, there are numerous preparations of each. A seafood-lover's paradise! ⁵
