Lacassá Soup (, ) is a Macanese soup.
History.
The soup has its roots in Malacca, and is believed to be an evolution of Laksa soup from Peranakan cuisine. The word "Lacassá" is noted to be a Macanese term for vermicelli, with roots in Indian languages.
As it contains no meat, Lacassá Soup is traditionally consumed on Christmas Eve, historically a day of abstinence for Catholic faithfuls. Lacassá Soup is also featured in a proper Cha Gordo, a social event that has been likened to high tea, and features multiple dishes.
Ingredients.
Lacassá Soup contains vermicelli (hence its name, as explained above), shrimp, and balichão.
