Muslims around the world celebrate the end of the fasting
period of Ramadan with Eid al-Fitr, the Festival of Breaking the Fast this May
12, 2021. It is celebrated through prayer, gifts, and lavish feast. While the
country is predominantly Catholic, Islam is the second largest religion in the
country. No wonder, Filipinos have become fond of Halal foods.
Halal food is prepared following a set of Islamic dietary
laws and regulations that determine what is permissible, lawful and clean. Any
dish can be halal, as long as the meat used is religiously slaughtered and no
pork or alcohol is involved.
