Galinha a Portuguesa
Galinha a Portuegesa may translate to Portuguese-style chicken. Yet its roots are native to Macau. Moreover, its Chinese culinary influences are evident in its ingredients and cooking style. The dish has a distinct yellowish color. It is because of the turmeric added to its flavorful sauce made with coconut milk and curry.
The creamy sauce has a bit of heat with a touch of sweetness. The Portuguese touch comes from the addition of chorizo. Indeed, the combination of its ingredients gives it a delightful aroma no one can resist. |

A Lorcha is indeed a remarkable restaurant in Macau where your palette will be satisfied with its authentic Portuguese food. Here, you will taste how Portuguese dishes are cooked with love for the local cultural heritage; the dining experience it offers is extraordinary as they serve a cuisine inspired by the Portuguese sailors and local Chinese community since 500 years ago.

Lorcha is a three-masted sailing ship used by Chinese, Thai, and Filipinos, and the interior of this restaurant leads its customers to a beautiful ambiance as if one is sailing in the waters and eating great food at the same time.
