UPDATED June 2016
Halal, Arabic word for "permissible," is the term used to describe food permitted to be eaten by Muslims, opposed to haram, meaning not permitted or bawal in Filipino. It involves a ban on certain animal meat particularly pork, blood and others. Animals should also be butchered by a Muslim who utter the name of Allah.
Halal Certification Authority is still unestablished in the Philippines but there are certain bodies doing this is Muslim Mindanao verifying halal authenticity of the food served in some establishments.

ReplyDeleteThey have chicken, beef, lamb all halal Alhamdulillah
KFC in the Philippines are not halal vertified by a recognized certifying body in the Philippines. Chicken and other food that they wll served were not halal certified. Some ingredients were also manufactured in different manufacturing plant (toll packer), same line may have been used for non-halal materials (cross contamination).
ReplyDeletei am in clark freeport zone...any halal restaurants around here?
ReplyDeletei am in Baguio city, any halal restaurants here?
ReplyDeleteHi there, the mosque in greenhills which is housed in a shopping mall has KFC next to it. After friday prayers, I saw alot of muslims eat there. I asked some of the muslims eating there and they say its halal ( I think its this outlet only so far). Inside the mosque vicinity there is a small cafe that sells halal food filipino style. I tried it and it was good. Greenhills shopping centre has alot of muslim vendors and shops and I have seen alot of migration of muslims to that area ever since the mosque was allowed to be built within the mall and so I think more and more halal restaurants will be open there. Try it out.
ReplyDeleteHi, I have been staying in Philippines (Metro Manila) for over 1 year.
ReplyDeleteThe concept of local muslim (filipino) of halal is differ from what you may have been practising.
As long there's no pork, means its halal.
Sometimes, even the food packaging having a halal logo, its not halal. Example some cookies/biscuits, by same company - some are halal, some are not.
Hard to say, the best is you cook yourself or dine at well known establishment and bear the high cost.
A simple dinner for 2 simply cost PHP2,000 in Kashmir
I'm happy for this thread and glad that there's a halal estaurant in my place..I will take down all these notes cause me and my family are going to Philippines for a 3 wk vacation..The first time my Egyptian husband came to Philippines, (I was newly converted at that time so i am ignorant of the "halal" word and only "just no pork" is fine)we had a hard time looking for a halal restaurant exactly in Angeles City..so he just bought a native chicken which is 3 times the original price (if the vendors see you as a foreigner,they will surely rocket the price)and kill it by himself in Halal way.I remember though that we ate in Kenny Rogers Roasters in Robinsons Place Manila, after he saw one Muslim sister customer.

ReplyDeleteHi All, any HALAL restaurants in the Archbishop Reyes Avenue and Escario St., Cebu City, Cebu, Philippines, area??
ReplyDeleteSwaqat Indian Restaurant is not Halal because the cook is Hindu. I am sorry if it hurts to anybody but we are bound to follow Muslim rules.
ReplyDeleteUm...Anonymous? Just because the cook is not muslim does not make halal food haram. If the meat and ingredients are halal, and the utensils used are clean to the Muslim standards, then the food cooked and served thus, Insyaallah, is halal. The religion of the cook is not a determinant.
ReplyDeleteMay I also add that in a halal food,there has to be no alcohol like, liquor in some chocolates, rice wine or any other wine mixed in the ingredients... Thank you

ReplyDeleteanonymous, iba is just a small town and there probably no halal restaurant there. you may have to cook your own food and buy stuff from the town public market
ReplyDeleteMaranao, one of the 13 Muslim tribes in the southern Philippines, migrated from the Province of Lanao del Sur to any part of the country. You just have to go to market and ask where are the group of Muslim vendors. There you can find Halal food basically for their own consumption and also for any visitors who prefer Halal food.

ReplyDeleteHI..I will be visiting Manila with a group of Muslim friends from Malaysia.Can you recommend any budget hotels (walking distance) near to Halal restaurants either in Quiapo,Greenhills or Makati.
ReplyDeleteAssalamu Alaikum Brothers and Sisters!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, the Jollibee, McDonalds, Chowking and KFC in the Philippines are not yet Halal certified by a recognized Halal certifying body. Some of the menu items are really critical and may derived from pork, kitchen and utensils are common, suppliers of ingredients such as spices and flavors may produce also haram in the machine i.e. gravy, breading etc.. Also because of the fortification law of the Philippines, some are fortified with vitamin A (with Bloom Pig Skin Gelatine) like vegetable oil and flour. Because of these, always ask halal certification.. Jazakallahu Khair..

ReplyDeleteDo you know of any halal food in Boracay?
ReplyDeleteAbout halal food in Boracay, your best bet is to go vegetarian or to eat seafoods - just make sure they are not cooked in lard, with pork products, or with wine. There are two food places that don't have pork in their menu, Kasbah and Cafe Mediterranean, but halal authenticity of meats used have not been confirmed. Hope this helps somehow. Let us know if you find out anything. Thanks!
