a taste of Africa Cape Malay

CULTURE ON A PLATE

Developed by slaves who came from Southeast Asia – and infused with a longing for the flavours of home – Cape Malay food is based on a beautifully aromatic mix of spices (it’s notably not hot, like Indian curries). With additional techniques and ideas from East Africa, Europe and Islamic cooking applied to local ingredients, this is a unique cuisine created in Cape Town. As much as visitors might be drawn to the Bo-Kaap for its pretty houses, it’s the aromas and food that will entice them to linger. Made to be shared
