A visit to the Portuguese Village in Melaka (Malacca) / KAMPUNG PORTUGIS / MALAYSIA TRAVEL VLOG

Today I visit something like Little Portugal (Portuguese Settlement or Kampung Portugis) in Ujong Pasir, Melaka (Malacca), Malaysia!
This is where the Kristang people live! The Kristang are a ethnic group of people that are a mix of Portuguese, Malay, Indian and/or even Dutch descent found in Malaysia and Singapore. They are also called Portugese-Eurasian. This group has a very unique culture, traditions, food, and even language. They speak Kristang language (Old Portuguese language with a mix of Malay), Malay and English (mostly). I talked to one woman who is obviously also of Indian decent but I have seen lots of different people, some fairer than others.
I also wanted to get some food but all the restaurants were closed for some reason... so left out that great baked fish that everybody talks about...

thank you so much. I also find this awesome they still have the language although not spoken with anyone else but the community.

I have recently commented on another channel on the same subject "Kristang" as follows : The term "Kristang" originally referred to creole pronunciation of "Christian" - the religion of the Portuguese settlers. They are also called "Serani" by the older Malays - from the Arabic "Nasrani" for followers of Jesus the Nazerene (of Nazereth).

[@yvesthesleeve]

Thank you. I was actually thinking that Kristang could come from Christian. Interesting about the "Serani" - in countries like Morocco they always call me Nasrani.

[@DonGurugay]

100% correct 👍

[@yvesthesleeve]

@@DonGurugay 👍👍

[@Ken8989]

That's true. The word Kristang means Christian in Portuguese. But it's been used to recognise our very heritage which is our faith itself. Serani mostly used/called by our Malay when Malay/Bahasa Malaysia is spoken to a Portuguese. The proper way to name our race is "Malaccan Portuguese".

Yes, Roger, wrong time to visit Portuguese Settlement. Must go there in the evening as it will come alive. Great seafood too. Love it but if you have ventured further out to the main road, there is a great and very very popular nasi lemah, ondeh ondeh stall. You cannot miss it as there is always a long queue. Great coffee too. Was there in September 2019. The nasi lemak is very famous as people travelled from far away places to sample it.

If you have the chance, you must visit Kampung Orang Asli (Aboriginal Tribe Villages). I don't know about Malacca, but here in Pahang, we have plenty of these villages and settlements. They are a native tribe, more native than Malay. Back in the days, they used to live deep in the jungle, some of them still are, but most of them are now living in kampung/settlement build by the government, because easier access to public services like schools, healthcare, water and electricity. They are rarely feature by KZbinrs. You could be the first few. By Laws and Rights, they are considered as Bumiputera, along with Malays, and other tribes in Sabah and Sarawak (Borneo). Some of them look like Malays, some of them look like Australian Aboriginals, depending of their tribes and sub ethnic group. I always found their names is one of the most interesting part. Most of them practice paganism/animalist, but they tend to have arabic names, with few changes. For example, for Muslims, it is compulsory to have Abdul in front of certain names like Abdul Rahman, Abdul Rahim, Abdul Jalil etc. However this rule does not apply to them therefore, their names would be Rahman, Rahim or Jalil etc. I am a Malay, and I went to school with many of them. It would be nice for them to go mainstream, since not many people know about them, unless they live in a state like mine.

[@yvesthesleeve]

This is very interesting. I did meet some "aboriginial" Malaysian in SAbah and Sarrawak back in the day but it would be great to go and see some settlement now that I am vlogging. Cheers

There are a lot of mission schools in Malaysia, schools that are set up by Catholic priests from Europe long time ago, including several in Penang (did you not see any?) Nowadays these schools are open for all religions & they do not openly preach any religions, basically a national school, but the roots of these schools are still there (with crosses & chapels) together with suraus for muslims.

[@yvesthesleeve]

Hi, yes I saw Catholic schools in Penang too, but it just didn't look that mixed but mostly Chinese kids. Interesting that the schools are open to all religions. Interesting and progressive.

[@muhd7144]

Not just nowadays, historically these mission schools have always been open to students of all races and religions. In fact mission schools are the oldest and among the best educational institutions in Malaysia with names such as Penang Free School, St Xavier's Institution, St John's and Convent Bukit Nenas...

[@yvesthesleeve]

Oh yes, I forgot to mention, the Kristangs are also famous for a kind of rice wine they serve on big occasions - lethal stuff. They make them in buckets and are very superstitious about it - ladies who are having their period aren't allowed near the concoction when they're making it! I have vivid memories of that drink 😊😉

Sorry I am in lockdown and therefore unable to treat you in person. The Hainanese chicken rice place is Hoe Kee and they are the original shop that did the rice ball. Their father whom I knew before his passing, sold to those coolies pushing the tongkang (riverboat) using long wooden poles carrying rice bags into the godowns (warehouses) along the river. So whilst they are pushing the tongkang with the poles, it was convenient to slip the rice balls into their mouths chased by some chicken meat. Quite smart way of feeding oneself when your hands are not so free. Just make sure you do a video of it. Enjoy and the funds should be enough to feed the whole family and more.

They always asked my late mum to tee up a dinner. I had to tell my mother off that if she is interested she can marry her. The balance of the money should be for your patreon account. The $200 is for the food and also patreon okay? Anytime as I have already inform my wealthy classmate to drop off the money hopefully tomorrow and you can go anytime next week. I will keep you inform if there is a change of plans. Just enjoy your sense of humour. I also moonlight as a standup comic in my spare time.

Roger the meals and whatever left over is to buy the children a present. It is $200 ringgit for the total. Please note my friend is driving down from KL and will pay it on Wednesday and not sure what time. But definitely it would be okay if you go there on Thursday morning. Usually there is a long queue when the Singaporeans are around. So sorry if you can go there from Thursday onwards as my friend is visiting his son in KL. He has promised me he will do it.
