But I don't think the explanation would be interesting, heheheh.<br /><br />So, you eat anything huh? I'm not quite a food adventurer like I'd like to be, although I claim to eat anything (as long halal). The standard phrase in Malay being - boleh makan apa saja, tolak kayu dengan batu. Even that phrase is not 100% applicable now, as some people have pointed out... because we can eat still ubi kayu and drink air batu :-)Fadhilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14091828414987087822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086109446112192763.post-35756923569708658822009-07-28T00:05:51.639+08:002009-07-28T00:05:51.639+08:00Andrea,

Half-way through, the chef came round to our table and asked if we were enjoying our meal. My client said: This is excellent. I must get the recipe from you for my wife.<br /><br />It being a 5-star hotel and all, the chef was most obliging and promised to email the recipe over. <br /><br />Imagine the client's horror on receiving the recipe a few days later in KL. It went like: Saute 20g of bbq pork slices........*gulp*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086109446112192763.post-13533759751785010452009-07-25T14:11:28.746+08:002009-07-25T14:11:28.746+08:00I am very far from being pious but if I termakan s...I am very far from being pious but if I termakan something not within Muslim rules, I will feel very remorsed and guilty for days!! hehemamasitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07918597628257831626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086109446112192763.post-34718216190984331902009-07-24T21:22:45.680+08:002009-07-24T21:22:45.680+08:00Moira,

Nowadays, our students who get sent to Eastern European countries (Russia, Poland etc.) face the same problem too.

Only consolation is that they were Mormons so they don't drink or smoke and out of respect they didn't eat pork throughout the time I stayed with them...tapi yang lain tu bantai ajelah...those were the jahiliyah days...but when I went back to the US later in the eighties and stayed for 13 years, thank god there were a lot more halal stores and restaurants ..tapi there were times yang 'Bismillah, Allahuakhbar' aje...May Allah forgive us for our indiscretions...Sweet Serenityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07729222172990347219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086109446112192763.post-33344718165042158842009-07-24T05:45:19.577+08:002009-07-24T05:45:19.577+08:00HAHAHA!!!
