Traditional Kristang favourites for Christmas


Every year for Christmas, Nunis makes the heritage Kristang dishes that her mother learnt how to make from her grandmother. Clockwise from top left: rose chicken, seybak, Christmas pie and devil curry. - ART CHEN/The Star

In her beautiful home, Michelle Nunis is hard at work, putting the finishing touches to her traditional Christmas dishes.

Standing close by is Nunis’ bubbly little seven-year-old daughter Megan Robless who darts around her mother, trying to help wherever she can. In the distance, Nunis’ energetic four-year-old son David Robless is playing with his toys while one-year-old baby Jerome Robless coos and gurgles delightfully in the arms of his pretty 18-year-old older sister Caitlin Gomes. Nunis’ oldest son, 20-year-old Conrad Gomes is also at home, as are two of his cousins.
