Pig meat

Last Sunday, my jimuis (the sisterhood since primary school days) were dropping by my place for CNY, so I thought I'd offer to cook lunch (yes Shana actually cooks, isn't that just mindboggling? This girl hasn't cooked anything before she got married! But got cook since got married lar so this isn't her first time in the kitchen XD) so off shopping for groceries I go with Eric and my advisor Aaron.




I'm SO SORRY Muslim lady cashier! Super blur case la me. (*A*)

For those who don't know, Muslims aren't allowed to handle pork in Malaysia.

So what did I do with the pork? I made Japanese curry rice! Ta-daa!!

Turned out better than I thought, considering this is the first time I made Japanese curry. Thick and a little sweet. I got the Jimui's Stamp of Approval. XD I still have a pack of roux left, when to make another batch?

Also last Sunday it was one of my jimui's birthday! Happy birthday Mei Sin! Hope you enjoyed the day =)

Birthday girl in the middle, and it's a no-brainer to guess which one's me.

    @linkin > It was Cold Storage Midvalley

    @atticus and toki > Actually these places have a cashier at the halal counter where we're supposed to pay there, but the last 2 times I bought pork, the halal counter tells me to pay at the normal cashiers. Dunno why they wanna torture normal cashiers.

    The idea that a person can be hired and not expect to do part of their defined job because of a religious issue is very strange to me. If it was that much of an issue, why would they do that work? Would not pork be expected to be brought before a cashier? How can it be inconsiderate?

    That's because there is a counter specifically meant for pork at the non-halal section, so the normal cashiers are not expecting to handle pork. But for some reason the non-halal cashiers just hand the meat back to me and ask me to pay at the normal cashiers. This happened to me twice in different malls. I thought the Muslim cashiers would be fine since the meat is packaged in wrap, but apparently they're not.

    Because we have no idea if the wrapping is free from the liquid of the pork. For muslims, Pork or pig in general is one of the two Najis Mughallazah, or Najis Berat, along with dogs.

    But honestly why have a non halal counter if you have to pay at normal counter? >.<
