Samoosa Making Tour & Gourmet Tasting

A fun-filled half-day experience combining Cape culture with Malay food heritage. The Cape Samoosa is the iconic symbol of not only the strength and resilience of the Cape Malay people, but also their famous hospitality — best shown through their love of sharing food, particularly fried snacks. Our experience starts with a walking tour of Bo-Kaap and a visit to South Africa's oldest spice shop, before you learn the art of the fold.
