Premium Baked Traditional Vetkeoks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Vetkoek Maleis Serves Up Delicious South African Baked Goods

— December 6, 2019 — Lifestyle
Vetkeok Maleis started in a small kitchen of a container bakery that was owned by Sean and Doraine van Rij in Silverton. When it initially opened, it served an affordable selection of cookies, bread, and rusks -- it then grew into a take-away restaurant that also functioned as a bakery.

With five locations now, it boasts an impressive menu that still shines a spotlight on the traditional vetkoeks. There are options to eat it plain, traditionally toasted, grilled, or packed with a variety of fillings. Some of the filling options include minced meat, vegetables, cheese, minced curry meat, and more. The menu also features burger options, vegetarian options, and soet boetie as a sweet finish.
