Cape Malay Culinary Tour

Cape Malay Culinary Tour

This Cape Malay culinary tour is a great way to learn about Cape Town’s cultural diversity. It takes you on a culinary walk through the historical heart of the Bo-Kaap in Cape Town with some shopping in the local markets.

The focus is on learning about the Cape Malay community. About their south-east Asian heritage, culture, community and of course their food. You stop at a local spice store and a local butcher. Here, you can chat with the locals and discover typical ingredients in Cape Malay food. You then head to a local family’s home where you participate in a hands-on fun-filled cooking session and demonstration which ends in eating a traditional Cape Malay lunch.
