The cuisine of Timor-Leste consists of regional popular foods such as pork, fish, basil, tamarind, legumes, maize, rice, root vegetables, and tropical fruit.^[1] East Timorese cuisine has influences from Malay and Portuguese dishes from its colonisation by Portugal. Flavours and ingredients from other former Portuguese colonies can be found due to the presence of Portuguese soldiers from other colonies in Timor-Leste.
