I don't mind this so much. I see halaal as one of the first food hygiene standards of its time....and I think the lesson must be learnt from that.
There are a lot of halaal certified restaurants where although the meat might be halaal and no alcohol is served, the state of the kitchen, cutlery and crockery are such that as far as I am concerned they are not halaal.
On the other side of the coin, there are non halaal seafood only and veg restaurants where you could probably eat off the kitchen floor....but because of the fact that they serve alcohol they are somehow deemed to be unacceptable. This although their crockery and cutlery is cleaned thoroughly and spotless and their kitchen management is perfection.
Where would I likely takemy family for a meal?
You can never win
I had an experience recently at a venue where I went for a seminar and there was a valid halaal certificate provided for the meal. The meal was in a conference type room although there was a bar somewhere in the building.
Halfway through the malva pudding desert (which was delicious) we were told "oops" there was rum in the desert. It was a mistake as it was not originally intended for our function.
The halal certifying body is busy investigating the issue now.
