"I wonder why don’t malays go to a vegetarian restaurant and try out their vegetarian pork is they wanted to know how pork taste the halal way?"
A question that sprung into my mind when WeeD asked a similar question. Imagine this; malay guy walks into Char Siew Fan stall and orders a plate with extra Sao Rou and kua. A sight to behold among chinese stall owners. I mean it’s not everyday that you get to see a malay dude coming to eat in your stall, ordering in malay. Some owners are a little hesitant, uncertain if it’s some kind of prank or even worse, a trap made by the local IC or better known as the Imam Conspiracy: They’re Watching You. I’ve known a few anonymous malay friends who tasted pork before. I don’t care much about it as I do enjoy the reaction of people around me when a malay guy accompanies me to Char Siew Fan. Some of them even fear for me, if some JAKIM dudes would to so happened as see me eating with a malay guy in a non-halal stall, I might get into trouble. Ahaks~ Fun indeed.

Malaysia being so multi-cultural and having a variety of religion with their dos and don’ts sure have a lot to offer in terms of food. Here is one of the reason why I’m glad I’m a Christian - I eat everything. Hehe~ Be pork, beef, frog, dog, wild boar (doesn’t count as pork :P), raccoon, insects, weird exotic plant, and other miscellaneous things, I’m not prohibited from eating them. Just make sure that it doesn’t kill me, I’m good to go.

Pork is the best. I’m a sucker for a good Char Siew Fan or Pork Rice. It would be appropriate to say that I’m a fan. It’s my second favourite food next to sushi. Sushi is my number one but it’s a little expensive to eat often, so when I do get a chance to have some sushi, I definitely won’t miss it. Char Siew Fan on the other hand is more affordable, hence, the number 2 spot has its name on it.

Picture its delicate shining dark-red meat glazed with honey as your teeth sink into its tenderness. Your fork picks up a different piece. This time in 3 visible layer; crunchy hard golden-brown, soft middle fatty white meat, and the dark tender meat at the bottom. It is so beautiful that my eyes began to swell with tears. Ahhhhh~ Normally, I would feel extremely hungry thinking of this but thankfully, I’m stuffed from that delish dinner I had earlier. So I do hope that you’ve eaten before reading this. Peace out~
and how you suffered for your sanity
