Was reading this article earlier.

Halal beer?

Hrmmmmm..... (insert confusion here).

"How can it be halal...?", Wilfred asked
"Errr... I dunno..."I replied
"As far as I know, any halal beer would be non alcoholic or will not get you drunk" Rina-Cat added.
"Hehe... If 'halal' cocktail is called mocktail... then 'halal' beer would be?"

*insert cricket sound here*

A minute there, I find it hilarious... somehow.

Even if I tasted this 'mock'beer, I wouldn't know the difference with a real beer, would i?


Oh! Oh! There's one more thing.

If you've been to Green Passion Cafe in Citymall, you'll know that it is a vegetarian eatery place.

Part of their menu is Kon lo Mee with pork (artificial pork that is).

So out of curiosity, I asked people around me; my mom, my aunt..even my grandma.

"Since it's artificial, and it is not a real pork meat.. are we allowed to eat that?"
"Hrrrmm... I guess?" - My aunt answered
"No need laaaaaa" - as expected from my mom
"Sebaik-baiknya tak perlu lah" - said my grandma.


Knowing myself, I am not satisfied.

So I asked BB to experiment it XD <-- jahat

He said, "errr... doesnt taste like one. probably.. 1%?"


Now, hehe... curious... *and I dont mean to be insensitive* To my muslim friends, we know the real pork meat is considered haram, but IF it's artificial, will you give it a try?

PS: This is an open discussion and of course, try to be open minded and answer honestly will ya?
