The_King Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 No pork lard or no pork, no lard? A confusing sign pasted outside a restaurant was what greeted one woman when she was looking around a mall for a Muslim-friendly place to dine. TikTok user Lunanguyen.hb shared her bewilderment in a clip posted on Saturday (Feb 18), writing about how she and her dining companions "almost got cheated" by a sign at a Peranakan restaurant which she took to mean "no pork, no lard". However, a check on the menu showed that pork was listed among the ingredients. Based on the location tagged in the video, the restaurant in question appeared to be Tingkat Peramakan at PLQ Mall. Netizens, however, were divided whether the signage posted was a legit cause for confusion. Wrote one: "I didn't see anything wrong. No pork lard doesn't mean not selling pork." "It says 'no pork lard', not 'no pork no lard'. Tsk," another user commented, with others criticising Lunanguyen for not reading the sign properly.

The 'no pork no lard' is misleading," wrote one.

PHOTO: Screengrab from TikTok/Lunanguyen.hb The clip also sparked heated debate among netizens. PHOTO: Screengrab from TikTok/Lunanguyen.hb In the end, the misunderstanding could simply boil down to how the sign can be interpreted. According to the clip, the signage bore the word "no" in large capitalised letters on the left, with the corresponding space on the right containing the words "pork" on top and "lard" at the bottom. To some, this gave the misleading signal that the "no" covers both "pork" and "lard". Other commenters noted that one should always check the menu first, and to always look out for the Halal certificate if in doubt.

The_King Posted February 20, 2023 Author Share Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) the no pork no lard come about because ppl want to eat healthy and the main stream media tell them Saturated fat is bad, so eat more heavily processed seed oil (canola, corn oil etc....) is healthy i guessing they trying to promote health eating which contain no lard no pork.

Londonchocolateroll Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I believe the sign is suppose to mean No Pork and No Lard but instead of repeating "No" twice, they just enlarge the "No" for both pork and lard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
