Muslim food


I know this doesn't look like much, but it's actually the front for a Muslim or "Halal" restaurant in China. Everyone I spoke with in China who has lived there for more than several months said they were food poisoned, due to the lack of any restaurant inspections there. And everyone I spoke with said that the rule of thumb is this: if you don't want to risk food poisoning, eat at the Muslim restaurants. Halal food is incredibly clean and conditions are closely controlled. Just like kosher foods, Halal customs remove the risks of most contaminants, such as blood, pork and milk. So for anyone who wishes to travel, keep this in mind. Look for Halal restaurants.
