Bo-Kaap:
This area in central Cape Town is known for it's brightly coloured houses and cobbled streets and is situated at the foot of Signal Hill. This is the spiritual home of the Cape's Muslim community. There are many Muslim Kramats (shrines) and beautiful Mosques including the first Muslim Mosque in South Africa.  It is however a blend of cultures.

Many of the residents are direct descendants of slaves from Malaysia, Indonesia & various African countries who were imported to the Cape of Good Hope by the Dutch in the 16th & 17th Century.  As such the area is often called the Cape Malay Quarter. Cape Malay Cuisine is unique and very popular as it makes use of aromatic spices and herbs.  Over 300 years ago the 'Malay Slaves' brought the fragrance & flavour to the Cape and to their foods which combine fruit, vegetables and meat with the spices.
