Two restaurants received first “HALAL” certification in Macau.
Today two restaurants in Macau became the first in the city
to be “halal” certified, namely Taste of India and Red Chili. The two
restaurants were inspected and certified by Hong Kong based mufti (Islamic
chief) Muhammad Arshad.
The “halal” certification ensures that food preparation and
ingredients are according with the Islamic law.
“It is a very important certification for the Islamic
community, as now whenever we go to a restaurant without it we either eat
cheese or turn vegetarian”, says Macau Islamic community member Omar Jr.
He believes that more restaurants in Macau might follow
Taste of India and Red Chili footsteps and become “halal certified”, which
would benefit local Muslims as well as visiting ones. Omar Jr. estimates that
around 3.000 Muslims pass by Macau coming from mainly from Hong Kong and
mainland.
The two restaurants also offer a praying area for Muslims.
