Top Reasons To Try For Halal Food

We hear of the word ‘Halal’ and often attribute it to Muslims but only a few Asians probably know what it truly means. Singapore, for instance, has been a common favourite spot for its magnificent destinations and great its wide variety of cuisine selections including halal food but more often than not, the diners are not intricately aware of its origin.

Halal is an Arabic word which means permissible. Hence, once it is labelled halal, it must have been done in accordance to a particular law. So, when we say Halal meat, it is meat that has been slaughtered according to the law of Islam, as stated in the Qu’ran. The slaughtering process is specifically called dhabiha which has the animal’s throat slit swiftly with a sharp blade to ensure the littlest suffering and pain as possible. Throughout this process, the slaughterer says a prayer to Allah or invokes the name of Allah at the least to bless the animal and the food.

The halal way of preparing an animal for food allows maximum drainage of blood from an animal’s body. In other words, Halal is a specific, cleansed method of slaughtering animals for food; hence, anything that is made halal is considered highly recommendable, must-try, more delicious and tastier dish. The good news is, presently, one can already find quite a lot of Halal restaurants in Singapore.
