Kristang Pork & Meat
Ten entries
Kristang cooking rests on a small number of foundational preparations — bone broth, dried prawn paste, and spice blends among them — from which the canonical dishes are built. Soups and broths establish the palate; pork, offal, and seafood carry the principal techniques; sweets and pastry close the progression.
