Cape Malay Food - Eating South African Cuisine at Biesmiellah in Bo-Kaap, Cape Town, South Africa Travel Food Transcript:
Alright guys, so it is lunchtime here in Cape Town and today we are in Bo Kaap (Malay Quarter) the colorful neighborhood. We're going to be having some Cape Malay food which is very exciting because this is very multicultural food in a way that is very unique to the Cape here in South Africa.
Visiting the colorful neighborhood of Bo-Kaap is your best bet to try Cape Malay cuisine This is a fusion between Malaysian, Indonesian and South African culinary traditions characterized by flavorful and aromatic ingredients.
So we're eating here at Biesmiellah restaurant (The Lounge) and we have our friend Trudy who is a local of Stellenbosch to thank for this. Because otherwise we probably wouldn't have found out about this place. And this place is apparently a bit of an institution here in Bo-Kaap.
Yeah, yeah and so we've like ordered a lot. Haha. A lot of food. We've got appetizers, we've got mains, we've got drinks and we've got desserts coming and it is all quite affordable so we can't wait for all of the food to come and we're just going to have another feast of feasts here in Cape Town, South Africa.
Alright, so all the food is here and it smells and it looks amazing. But we're going to be trying something new. We're having something called bobotie. At least I think that is how you say it and I'm going to read you the description because this sounds tantalizing.
A sweet sour flavored lean beef mince, stir-fried with fresh herbs, spices topped with a milked egg glaze served with sweet yellow rice. You can see that milk egg.
So we've been in South Africa for two weeks now and this is my first time trying this. Even though we've had Cape Malay food once before. Yeah, this is definitely our first time and we also didn't have it on the first trip either so this is really special. One of our last meals.
Time for dish number two. So the next one that we got is a mutton curry and it says skewers of mutton cooked gently and slowly with a blend of traditional spices and herbs to produce a tantalizing curry. Check that out.
Time for dessert and we are having puddings. Pudding.
So we have sago pudding which apparently is typical type of Indian inspired pudding. Yeah. And then we have over here Malva pudding which is sort of more traditional South African.
So this one is called a Koeksister or a Koeksisters.
Okay, and it is a fried doughnut.
ime for price point. So that was 340 Rand which at current exchange is about $25 US dollars. So we did get ended up being three drinks, we got an appetizer, two mains and three desserts. So we kind of, we kind of went overboard a little bit but uh yeah still good definitely good value for money spent and one thing that we've really enjoyed about Cape Town is that it is very much a foodie city.
This is part of our Travel in South Africa video series showcasing South African food, South African culture and South African cuisine.

That's not a koeksister - that is a koesiester. A koeksister is of Afrikaner origin and is a plain, plaited piece of dough, deep-fried and dunked in a thick syrup. A koesiester is a Cape Malay staple - deep fried, spicy doughnut (aniseed, cardamon, cinnamon, ginger, dried naartjie (clementine) peel) which is lightly dunked in boiling sugar syrup and then sprinkled with shredded coconut. Sometimes the koesiester is just dunked, and then topped with a sticky and sweet boiled coconut filling.
Yum! Everything looked so good! Mutton tastes amazing if prepared properly. It should be nice and tender.

Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos I’m from Singapore, of Chinese ethnicity (much like 75% of the population) but we are pretty much surrounded by Malay speaking countries and Malay food is readily available everywhere in Singapore, so I’m quite familiar with Malay cuisine. To be honest though if anything it seems that Cape Malay cuisine is more similar to Indian cuisine. Roti is commonly associated with Indian cuisine in both Malaysia and Singapore rather than Malay cuisine; Lassi is definitely Indian. The mutton curry could be either Indian or Malay depending on the flavour and spices used (its quite difficult to put into words exactly how it is different but an Indian curry is quite different from a Malay or Chinese curry in Singapore / Malaysia in terms of taste. An Indian curry has a strong lingering aftertaste whereas a Malay curry is smoother in flavour to me). Bobotie really looks like something that could be traditionally Malay or Indian as well (much like a briyani dish) but there really isn’t a sweet rice dish in Southeast Asia. None of the desserts are really Malay either but sago is oftentimes used as a dessert ingredient in traditional Malay cuisine.

Tengkudin. Jelai While Philippines is indeed considered part of Nusantara (ie Maritime Southeast Asia), the Philippines is culturally quite different from say Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei which are far closer to one another. Also the languages of these 3 countries are mutually intelligible with one another but not Tagalog / Filipino which belongs to the same language family but is mutually unintelligible with Malay / Indonesian. Food culture wise, I find Filipino cuisine to be very different as well. Pork was likely the main protein of choice for the ancient Austronesian peoples, evident in the prevalence of entire roasted pigs on a spit in both Philippine and Balinese cuisine; but pork is considered haram in Islam and hence owing to the widespread influence of Islam in western Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei, pork is no longer consumed by most Malay Muslims and Indonesians; it is no longer a mainstay menu item in Malay and mainstream Indonesian cuisine. There also seems to be a stronger Indian influence in Malay / Indonesian cuisine with curries and such, whereas Filipino cuisine seems to exhibit a stronger Chinese influence with dishes such as adobo (cooked in vinegar and soy sauce), lumpia, sinigang which is a sour tamarind stew and of course lechon (roasted pig on a spit) etc.; in Singapore and Malaysia at least, there is an overlap between traditional Malay food and Indian Muslim food and you’ll find many people of both ethnic backgrounds dining at these Indian Muslim establishments all the time. In Singapore and Malaysia there is also Peranakan food which is a blend of Chinese and Malay food and I would really recommend people to try as well :) It’s quite unique to this part of the world

I remembered trying it in either Stellenbosch or Franschhoek when we went to visit some wineries. Right now its fall in South Africa and I am not sure if it's still good time to visit the beach resorts along the Garden Route which is also nice. Did you go to the top of Table Mountain yet?

This is the explanation according to Wikipedia: "Origin of name and recipe[edit]Bobotie appears to be a variant of Patinam ex lacte, a dish documented by the ancient Roman writer Apicius, which comprises layers of cooked meat, pine nuts, and seasoned with pepper, celery seeds and asafoetida. These were cooked until the flavours had blended, when a top layer of egg and milk was added. When the latter had set, the dish was ready to be served.[3] C. Louis Leipoldt, a South African writer and gourmet, wrote that the recipe was known in Europe in the seventeenth century.[4]The origin of the word Bobotie is contentious. The Afrikaans etymological dictionary claims that the probable origin is the Malayan word boemboe, meaning curry spices.[5] Others think it to have originated from bobotok,[6] an Indonesian dish which consisted of totally different ingredients.[7] The first recipe for bobotie appeared in a Dutch cookbook in 1609.[7] Afterwards, it was taken to South Africa and adopted by the Cape Malay community.[2] It is also made with curry powder leaving it with a slight "tang".[8] It is often served with Sambal.[9] The dish has been known in the Cape of Good Hope since the 17th century, when it was made with a mixture of mutton and pork."

Our country is such an underrated country, that has actually contributed so much to the international community, but these are little known facts. I'm a Capetonian, and I hope the experience was as good as Cape Town could offer. I also hope that you guys had the opportunity to have a really authentic braai (cook out) with locals, not a generic commercialised bbq. They're good, but there's nothing like being with local people, and having that real homely feel of the South African version of a cook out. The food and most importantly the company, is what makes a South African cook out complete. And yes, I say cook out, because my American friends told me that their experience of a braai, was exactly what a cook out in America is like. Good food, good drinks, and excellent company.
I think cape Malay from Indonesia. Because they are brought by Dutch from Indonesia. Dutch colonized Indonesia.

Ah, thank you! :)
Guys, you cant eat all these dishes all at once. You need to have only one dish daily on a cleansed palate to truly admire Cape Malay cuisine.
Now I get so confuse with my own race ...I’m Malay but I don’t see any similarities between cape Malay n Malaysian Malay ... the foods mostly influenced by Indian this is weird

The foods are a fusion of malay and indian foods, also mixed with some European and local African, since we cape malay people draw our heritage back to those parts of the world.

Just saw this now. Pity. The food looks good but I have never seen Bobotie served like this. Normally the bobotie is made in a large tray and a slice is served with rice on the side. What helps the dish is the chutney or achar which I see was provided but you did not use. Same with the sambals which you did not eat with the curry. You did not really get the full effect of the dishes. Btw I have been eating Cape Malay for over 70 years.
