There are other Muslim countries that are planning to embrace the Islamic banking. Nonetheless, it is also expected that the growth to not just be limited to regions with high populace of Muslims. There has been a sparked of interest in non-Muslim countries to adopt these Islamic banking principles. A fine example is Great Britain, who became the first western country to issue an Islamic bond, attracting more than ÂŁ2 billion from global investors for its sale of sharia-compliant debt. Clearly Islamic banking has grown more attractive and that they are making better profit than their conventional counterparts, and Islamic banking emerged as a good story that the whole world could observe.

s the populace of Muslims from every nooks and corners of the world are unceasingly increasing, the

demand for Halal foods and beverages are also augmenting in not only the Muslim-concentrated countries, but also in countries where they are the minorities, such as Europe, Canada, Australia, etc. making it one of the rapidly growing market in the world. However, one might ponder on the reasons for Muslim consuming only Halal foods. According to the beliefs of Muslims, they are strictly instructed to consume Halal foods and beverages, and when doubtful to avoid its consumption altogether. Over the centuries, devout Muslims have conscientiously prepared their own food as it provides certainty to them that the foods are Halal. For the past few decades, the food industries are thriving tremendously as food starts crossing the borders of other countries. This wave of food exportation, although beneficial in many ways particularly in terms of expanding the global market, poses another issue to the Muslim communities: Is it Halal? This cross borders of foods ultimately call for the endorsement of the Halal certificate. This Halal certification has been established by the Halal authorities and committees in different countries to monitor and enforce the Halal requirement not just in foods but other sectors such as pharmaceuticals and healthcare. Of all the Halal authority bodies, it has been consented by majority that the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia, JAKIM, is the leader in the globalisation of Halal certification. Malaysia is well-known for its diversity in race, religion and culture; hence, there is a strong obligation to maintain the balance between the Muslims and non-Muslims. JAKIM, establishing itself in the 1982, was made up of members ranging from the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Trade and Consumer Affairs, Department of Veterinary Services and food scientists and technologists. They play a huge role in

ensuring the products or foods are Halal by providing the Halal certificate and conduct regular spot checks in food establishment sites, food processing facilities, restaurants and hotels. Their rigid compliance checks produced many different responses from the industry. Inevitably, the Muslim consumers are pleased and satisfied with the existence of the Halal certificate. Realising majority of restaurants’ owners and manufacturers have little to no knowledge regarding the concept of Halal, the authorities decided to provide consultations and education to them in order to them to grasp the knowledge. Each country normally has their Halal certificate bodies; however, not all of them are recognised or accepted by JAKIM due to their low standards. There are several that are recognised such as (Majlis Ulama Indonesia) MUI, the Halal authority bodies in Indonesia. Indonesia has a large number of Muslim populations and MUI works diligently to issue the Halal certificates to companies applying for Halal. Similarly, there are several recognised certificate bodies in Europe, South Africa and Southeast Asia that provide services to those requiring it as well as monitoring their Halal compliance in slaughterhouses and manufacturing establishments, both locally and internationally. In the Middle east, their guidelines within the countries differ slightly as they follow the Gulf Standards formulated for prepared foods. The endorsement of the Halal certification has come a long way and is still working its way up to help certifying companies and food establishments that require them in order to reach both Muslim and non-Muslim consumers. These authority bodies along with other non-government agency have contributed significantly towards the Halal food trade across the globe in order to guarantee that the Halal certified food products are genuine.

Only The Finest Bornean Coffee

Ms Adeline Tang, the General Manager and experts of Bornean Coffee. Author: Lily Ruzailan

Images: DagangHalal

Q: Can you tell us more about your business? Adeline Tang (AT): We are still a young company that started only just slightly over a year. The journey of our business is rather interesting; we initiated the idea through a casual discussion with friends. We thought of setting up our own business and since we all have one similar interest, we decided to start a coffee business. Q: The market for coffee is growing steadforward. What are your marketing strategies you practise to boost your business? AT: We are strong believers in our customer’s experience and learning from them on their interest. So, I would say that our marketing strategy focuses on our coffee drinkers where we learn about their palate and the behaviour as well as the things they

like and prefer with our products. We also conduct research and marketing surveys in supermarkets. What we do is we have samplings to our consumers and we also conduct surveys on the coffee of preference. We also realised that in Malaysia, we have both Muslim and non-Muslim and we ensure that our products are all certified Halal by JAKIM, a government body recognised worldwide owing to its solid standard. Q: How many products have you produce? AT: Currently we have three different flavours, and they are the Dark Roast, Medium Roast and Icy blend. Our first product was actually the medium roast coffee. Then we introduced the dark roast as we received more demands for stronger taste coffee. As for the latter, the icy blend, we were thinking that Malaysia has high climate and having a cold ice

The advent of meat-free products According to their marketing manager, Mr. Richard Schober, there was an upcoming trend amongst the population where they started becoming vegetarian and flexitarians. He also commented that there is a growth in the Muslim population in Europe. With these growths within the population, LANDHOF needed to innovate a new product to cater for these consumers. Hence the advent of meat-free products,

“Flexitarian is also a new trend where people avoid meat once or twice a week. They are similar to being a part-time vegetarian,” elaborated Ms. Mag.

Halal certification The whole range of LANDHOF meat-free products are certified Halal by the Austrian Halal certification body. “The Halal certificate is relatively new to us. However, the response we received from consumers are splendid!”, remarked Mr. Schober. In his opinion, Halal acts as both a standard and requirement, depending on which market they are focusing. He also acknowledged that the Halal certificates speaks louder by itself and save time for detailed enquiries. “Halal, in my opinion, is not just important for foreign countries with Muslim populace, but even in European countries where the population of Muslim Ms. Sandra & Mr. Richard bring the unprecedented meat-free sausages to the market.

Through years of experience, Mr. Amol stated that the company realised the need of understanding and improving the private label as well as the importance of obtaining the Halal certification. He also asserted that the markets are now driven towards Halal products as it acts as an assurance for the Muslim consumers and is guaranteed that both the factory and the ingredients used in the products are safe and highly sanitised in a hygienic environment. Hence, he strongly agrees that the Halal certificate is more than a religious requirement; it is a necessity for the protection of the supply chain. It is evident that people are now leaning towards healthy products for the benefits of their health. Saraf Trading is able to serve this trend as its products are both functional and healthy.

Gastronomic Extraordinary After three consecutive days in Cologne having to ingest only Middle

Halal Food Review

Eastern/Turkish cuisines, we thought it is time for us to explore something new. After doing some quick research on Halal eateries on the web, we decided to give it a shot to this interesting-looking burger parlour, 3h’s burger & chicken, which is located at Koblenzerstr, Cologne. It took us 30 minutes from Koelnmesse to our destination, where we faced lots of bumps here and there. We got lost twice in search for the shop, and only found after seeking help from the affable locals. Eventually, we found the shop, a small shop that can fit around 10 to 15 people. With grumbling stomachs that were demanding to be fed, we immediately ordered our burgers; three of us ordered cheeseburger while I decided on the barbecue burger. The service was rather slow even though it was not a full house. After 15 minutes, our burgers arrived to our delight. Despite the small space, the burger they served is the opposite of the size of the shop. Their burgers, dare I say, were a lot bigger than the typical go-to burger. As for the taste, the first bite of my barbecue burger had me smiling from ear to ear. It was packed with so much flavors; from their smoky barbecue sauce, to the beef bacon and their crunchy, fresh veggie. The beef patty was cooked medium rare; it gave the beef a delicious juicy flavour that you’d expect only from a premium beef patty. All of these elements made me feel this warmth feeling each time I take a bite of the wonderful burger. This delightful taste made the long trip worthwhile. The cheeseburger has a piquant taste as well. It was served with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup and their excellent beef patty. All that being said, I believed the highlight of our meals were their fries and their signature Joppie sauce. I do not know the ingredients added to the sauce but I could not stop myself from dipping the fries into the luscious sauce. 3h’s burger & kitchen’s excellent menus and friendly service reinforces my glowing review as a place I’d wholeheartedly recommend for tourists and even locals who are looking to grab great Halal foods in Cologne.
