Translation to halal

 

Hi Natty!  How are you, Honey?  I hope you are safe and feeling well, and are enjoying yourself.  I'm doing OK over here.  I did my laundry this morning, then I did some kitchen work.  I don't have much cash right now, but I did manage to score some cabbage, string beans, eggplant, a couple of peppers and a carrot for RM5 yesterday.  So I processed that into a stir fry mix, but I roasted the peppers and kept them in the cooler.  I had ramen for lunch, using the fish head and kelp broth.  I tried using eggplant in my ramen for the first time to see how it would work out.  I suppose it's OK, perhaps it would have been better if I cut the eggplant into noodle-like strips.

Check out the video above.  I guess the guy is some sort of food blogger, and he can sure eat.  One restaurant after another, like falling dominoes!  Everything is delicious to him, and I must say that it does look delicious.  Especially the parfait.  Now I'm dying for a strawberry parfait, and they have nice strawberries in Japan.  All the food looks good, but the problem is that it's not halal.  And since it isn't halal, I have no desire to go there and eat any of it.  But food like that could be translated into halal given the right means.  Like the parfait and sushi, that would be easy to make halal.  Pork is impossible though, and if the restaurant had even only one dish with pig in it then the whole menu is contaminated.  Because of the kitchen.  Pork could be substituted with beef depending on how you would cook it, or chicken if you were cautious about subduing the taste of chicken.  Is it worth it?  I would just study the concept of the dish, then make my own interpretation that would be halal.  For instance, ramen with tonkotsu broth.  I substitute the pig broth with blended veggies that were stewed in beef bones, and add butter for fat.  Hey, if you didn't know what it tastes like then you don't miss it.  As for the native diner, he can just go where he usually goes to eat it.  But food cannot be 100% international if it were not halal.
