Imagine your favourite fruit, put it on a layer of cake and you'll have an idea of what they sell in this takeaway shop. This is for more than five decades one of the better places in the city to sample some regional delicacies such as kruimelvlaai (crumb cake) and pruimenvlaai (plum cake). Our favourite of the impressive menu of 30 choices is the woudvruchtenvlaai, which is impossible to translate but filled to the gills with berries and cream. Houwens Vlaai is particularly popular with local shoppers with a sweet tooth.
