One day, I went to wet market.
My intention was to buy chicken....parts.
I went to the 2nd counter.
It was easy for me to find which part I wanted since it was already late in the morning and nothing much left for me to choose.
There were 2 guys took care of the counter.
For sure they were non-chinese neither they looked like Indian.
I am not sure either if there were Malay.
The short guy told me quietly:
"Ayam in tak halal"
Obviously, I was just woke up.
My head were full with question marks.
I requested to repeat.
"Ini tak halal" so secretly he repeated with the ayam in his hand.
I looked at the chicken for a while.
Again I "Huh?"
"Tak halal" same as he repeated.
The chicken look fine with me.
I started to wonder if I heard the right thing.
So I repeated "Tak halal?".
Both of them nodded. They pointed to first stall and said ayam over there were halal.
I was scratching my head now.
"Apa tu halal?"
They explained it wasnt being prayed.(something like that)
I still cant quite understand.
"Boleh makan?" I asked.
He replied can. I bought.
Till now I still dont understand but I have already cooked and ate.
