    McDonald’s Singapore: Only Halal Cakes Allowed In Our Outlets

    Due to the recent news of McDonalds Malaysia banning non-halal birthday cakes on their premises, McDonalds spokesman Faz Hussen has clarified on the issue to the local mainstream news.

    Mr Hussen said that although McDonalds does not allow outside food on their premises, birthday cakes are an exception. However, birthday cakes brought into the premises have to been halal certified and this practice has been in place since McDonalds received their halal certification in 1992.

    He added that as a halal certified food establishment, McDonalds Singapore has to strictly follow the regulations set out under the halal certification to ensure their food complies with halal requirements so that it is permissible for muslims in Singapore to patronize.

    During the food preparation process, McDonalds Singapore takes precaution to ensure their food products are not mixed with non-halal certified products.

    Advertising Gimmick: Cafe Claims Lasagna Is One Of The Favourite Food Of Prophet Muhammad

    I’m not a pious Muslim by any means but even I cannot take this……who in their right mind would claim that Prophet Muhammad liked eating lasagna?!

    There are so many ways to market your food. You don’t have to resort to this to bolster your sales.

    You are just making it confusing for Muslims and making Muslims the laughing stock of others.

  • Grabhitch Driver With Pet Chihuahua Strikes Again

    Grabhitch Driver With Pet Chihuahua Strikes Again

    The next time you GRABCAR / GRABSHARE / GRABHITCH – please do becareful.

    Hi all. Wanna bring your attention to this – especially ladies. (PLEASE SHARE THIS)

    grabhitch-driver

    My friend and i booked grabhitch yesterday (02/01/2017) at about 2250 hours from 444 PASIR RIS DRIVE 6 to MUSTAFA CENTRE. Awhile later, we got a driver. While waiting for the driver at the foot of the block, my friend received an incoming call from the driver directing us to go to level 2 of the carpark which was just right behind the block.

    Not thinking anything was amiss, we went. Upon reaching, we saw this blonde tatooed guy with a CHIHUAHUA barking aggresively – non-stop. He told us to quickly get in the car.

    As i recalled reading an article about an incident between a grab driver, his pet and his passenger, i told my friend to not board the car. We told him politely that i am not comfortable taking his car, with his aggresive barking chihuahua. We also said to him that he should inform us first if he is bringing a pet with him to check if we were comfortable with it or not.

    He then replied, “FUCK OFF, IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE THEN DON’T HITCH OR GRAB!!” We were both stunned. I told him that the only reason I am not comfortable with it was because his dog was barking aggressively throughout the 8 to 10 minutes we were there. We have the right to refuse the ride because he did not inform us that we will be grab hitching with a chihuahua. He asked us to get lost and made rude and sarcastic remarks.

    Not wanting to aggravate him further, we walked off. I called grab customer service and told her about the situation and she said that she will write a report about the driver.

    Definitely, the WORST driver with an ULTIMATE SHIT ATTITUDE ever.

  • Grain: Restoran Online Halal, Tawarkan Makanan Sihat

    Grain: Restoran Online Halal, Tawarkan Makanan Sihat

    BERITAMediacorp: Hasrat untuk mencipta pengalaman makanan yang menyeronokkan mendorong empat orang sahabat untuk membangunkan perniagaan restoran secara online, bernama Grain.

    Grain mendapat sijil halal sekitar dua bulan lalu (Sep 2016), setelah dua tahun dibuka.

    Perniagaan itu kini berwajah baru dengan khidmat laman web dan aplikasi mudah alih yang memudahkan pelanggan untuk menempah makanan yang sihat.

    Antara makanan sihat yang ditawarkan termasuk Ayam Kampung Segar Panggang (Grilled Farm Fresh Chicken), Ikan Salmon Norwegian (Norwegian Salmon) dan Labu Kayu Manis (Cinnamon Pumpkin).

    Usaha itu juga dimanfaatkan di tengah-tengah persaingan antara khidmat penghantaran makanan online lain di Singapura sekarang ini.

    PENGALAMAN MAKAN YANG MENYELURUH

    Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif (CEO) serta pengasas bersama Grain, Encik Yong Yi Sung, memberitahu bahawa syarikatnya ingin memberikan pengalaman makan yang menceriakan para pelanggan.

    “Pengalaman makan yang menyeronokkan adalah lebih daripada sekadar makanan. Kami menyertakan maklumat makanan, bahan-bahan dan nilai pemakanan bersama makanan yang ditempah. Dan, bagi pelanggan kali pertama, kami juga memberikan kad sambutan kepada mereka,” kata Encik Yong kepada BERITAMediacorp.

    “Kami menyediakan pengalaman pelanggan dari hujung ke hujung yang menyeluruh, dari memilih bahan-bahan hingga ke penghantaran makanan oleh kakitangan Grain sendiri,” tambahnya.

    Grain menawarkan pilihan makanan Asia, makanan sihat dan pencuci mulut. Ini termasuklah hidangan Nasi Ayam Samsui (Samsui Chicken Rice), Daging Thai dengan Daun Selasih (Thai Basil Beef) dan Salada Ayam Thai (Thai Chicken Salad).

    KOLABORASI BERSAMA RESTORAN HAJAH MAIMUNAH

    Grain turut bekerjasama dengan Restoran Hajah Maimunah sepanjang minggu lalu untuk menyediakan hidangan Rendang Daging Hjh Maimunah dengan Urap dan Nasi Perang Ubi Bit.

    Encik Yong memberitahu BERITAMediacorp: “Kami mencari rakan kongsi yang berkongsi falsafah yang sama iaitu untuk menawarkan makanan yang enak dan bermutu tinggi. Grain juga tidak menggunakan makanan yang dibekukan atau diproses.”

    “Hajah Maimunah menepati ciri itu dan kami sebulat suara memilih hidangan rendang daging untuk kolaborasi selama seminggu itu,” jelasnya.

    Grain menawarkan dua pilihan menu- menu tetap dan menu yang ditukar setiap minggu. Buat masa ini, syarikat itu hanya menyediakan hidangan dan khidmat hantar makanan untuk makan tengahari.

    KONSEP RESTORAN ‘CLOUD’

    Encik Yong turut mendedahkan bahawa keinginan mereka untuk membuka sebuah restoran online disebabkan harga sewa tanah yang semakin tinggi.

    “Membuka restoran secara online adalah pilihan lebih baik daripada di sebuah kawasan khusus kerana kami dapat berada di mana sahaja.

    “Malah, kami menggelar syarikat kami sebagai ‘restaurant on the cloud’ atau restoran dengan ruang simpanan online,” kata Encik Yong.

    MATLAMAT ‘RESTORAN TERBESAR TANPA KEDAI’

    Grain kini mempunyai sekitar 60 orang kakitangan termasuk 15 orang cef di dapur mereka yang terletak di Bangunan Makanan Tee Yih Jia.

    Menurut Encik Yong, mereka juga berharap dapat mencapai sasaran yang besar dalam masa lima tahun.

    “Persaingan di kalangan khidmat hantar makanan semakin sengit, tetapi kami bukan hanya menyediakan servis itu. Kami berbeza daripada khidmat tersebut.

    “Dalam masa lima tahun, kami berharap dapat menjadi restoran yang terbesar tanpa sebuah kedai yang fizikal,” katanya.

    Khidmat makanan Grain tersedia menerusi laman www.grain.com.sg atau aplikasi telefon bijak.

  • McDonald’s Malaysia: Only Halal-Certified Cakes Can Be Brought Into Our Restaurants

    McDonald’s Malaysia: Only Halal-Certified Cakes Can Be Brought Into Our Restaurants

    KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 29 — McDonald’s Malaysia today confirmed a policy restricting customers from bringing cakes that are not halal-certified into its restaurants.

    In a statement to Malay Mail Online, the fast food chain explained that the measure was necessary to safeguard its own halal status.

    Malay Mail Online had contacted the firm to verify a notice posted at one of its restaurants that said birthday cakes that are brought in must have an accompanying halal certification or logo.

    “This is in line with fulfilling requirements of our halal certification,” it said.

    The chain added that although it has a policy barring outside food and drinks in its premises, it made allowances for birthday cakes served at parties held at its restaurants.

    But it added that these must be demonstrably halal, either through certification or logo.

    “This condition is critical to preserve the integrity of our halal certification,” it added.

    The fast food giant said that it would continue to “strictly uphold” all standards regarding food quality, safety and halal so that all customers can enjoy their products with “peace of mind.”

    Halal certification is under the purview of the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (Jakim).

    The prevalence of its certification as an indicator of a food item’s suitability for consumption is such that the absence of its logo regularly raises Muslim concerns about the item.
