Anyway, I got another unpleasant incident yesterday. It's about..... Halal and non-halal food!!! Yes that is a sensitive topic indeed. I had a sudden urge to eat ice cream at 9 PM last night. I know the restaurant near our hostel sells banana split and it's too tempting to resist. I asked around and a housemate who happens to be a Moslem said she'd join me. So we went and she misundertood thinking I wanted to go to another restaurant. So she started asking me whether the food there is halal or not. So I said, as far as I know yes, they don't sell pork, etc and how can ice cream be not halal? She was unsure and I offered her to return to hostel which she refused. We got there and sat down, I inspected the menu to reassure her that they sell no pork, and I ordered the ice cream and ice lemon tea. The food came and she ate with me, then her friend working there sat with us, so I asked her for confirmation again. Is the food here halal? "Yes, they don't use that sort of cooking oil here, it IS halal" So my friend ate happily and I just teased her for thinking that it's a non-halal.
