Hong Kong hospitals cook up first halal meals


Hong Kong - Halal meals, prepared according to strict Islamic guidelines, are being served to Hong Kong Muslims in some public hospitals for the first time, a media report said Saturday.
"Noting their [the Muslims] difference in dietary culture, we decided to introduce a halal meal set," Vivian Wong, co-ordinator for the Hospital Authority in New Territories West, was quoted as saying by the South China Morning Post.
The initiative was launched at four hospitals in Hong Kong's New Territories and the scheme could be launched territory-wide according to the paper.
