try these websites:
http://www.celines-cuisine.com/Culture.htm
http://www.everythingeurasian.com/faq.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristang_people

and also look for Malacca Portuguese Eurasian Association.

pretty much what you need should be in there.

Im a Serani my self.Let me explain to you. Well Serani has its own unique culture.We are called Portuguese Eurasian.We have our own Settlement in Malacca.

Why it is unique?

Let me explain.. Serani is a mix breed between Portuguese Man with local women(Malays) during the 15th century.Why?

-Was encourage by the King of Portugal to marry local women
-To spread Christianity.

Later on when the shariah law was established in the 19th century they intend to marry chinese or indian rather than malay why?

-they dont want to alter their religion(Roman Catholic)

How do i know if the person is a serani?

-well my best answer i can give through their sir names? like de costa, de silva, danker, goonting, cruz
-the way they speak...people brought up in the Portuguese Settlement have their own slang.

P/S:Some Still have the Portuguese Looks....

Do serani have their own language?

Yes we do it call Kristang.Google It.Its a mixture of portuguese and malay

Why there is such complicated races like this?

Why ask me..ask my ancestors.

Do they have this kind of races else where?

yes...Goa and Macau..

Google it.

What festival do they celebrate?

Well..we still follow the portuguese tradition in Portugal.
-San Juang
-San Pedro
-Christmas
-Water Day.

Conclusion. Althought its been 500 years we still maintain our tradition and culture.

Wanna know More?

Hans Isacc(Actor)
Tony Fernandiz(CEO AirAsia)

Good Luck in whatever your doing.I did my part.
