Halal Online Article in Shanghai

Was browsing through online to look for some other kind of Muslim Halal restaurants here in Shanghai (we've been eating Xinjiang lam mian pulled noodles all the time and got bored). And I stumbled upon this website. It was written by this journalist name Yao Minji and he was basically explaining about a brief summary of Muslims in Shanghai, Muslim food, the term "Halal". He also talked a bit about the history of how Islam came into China. Though it was written back in 2012, but it was a good article for non-Muslims.

The interesting fact was, a lot of non-Muslim love buying Halal meat as they considered it very fresh and in good quality. 

"...Halal meat, which comes from animals slaughtered by a swift, deep incision cutting the throat, carotid artery, wind pipe and jugular veins, is commonly recognized as good quality and fresh. As a result, many non-Muslims in Shanghai choose to eat beef and mutton from halal restaurants..."

In the article [& also the website], he recommended some of the local Halal restaurants for Muslims like us, can eat & enjoy. And also places related to Islam, Muslim & Halal.

Have a look if you are looking for a different kind of Chinese food besides the pulled noodle aka 'niu rou lam mian'. Hehehehehe! I think, for Iftar today, I might drag my partner for some "Hotpot". It's very famous among the Shanghainese & also Chinese themselves. And it's like steamboat. Kan..? Oh, I miss Johnny's Thai Steamboat. Boo hoo.

Toodles!
