At Shiok BBQ, we understand the importance of providing diverse food options that meet the dietary requirements of all our clients. Although our main BBQ factory is not Halal certified, we take special care to accommodate requests for Halal-friendly BBQ services in a way that ensures transparency, quality, and the avoidance of cross-contamination.
If you’re hosting an event that requires Halal food, we offer two key solutions:
1. No Pork, No Lard with Halal Certified Products from Shiok Factory
While we may not operate a Halal-certified factory, we do offer No Pork, No Lard options that use ingredients sourced from Halal-certified suppliers. This ensures that you’re getting Halal-friendly products without compromising on taste and quality.
We make it clear to our clients that:
- Our BBQ Factory is not Halal Certified, but the products themselves are sourced from reputable, Halal-certified suppliers.
- Every dish is carefully prepared with separate utensils and equipment to avoid any potential cross-contamination.
This option is suitable for those who require Halal-certified ingredients but are flexible with the certification of the preparation process itself. Our No Pork, No Lard offerings are great for events where you still want to enjoy Shiok BBQ’s unique flavors, while keeping the dietary needs of your guests in mind.
2. Managing Your Halal Event with a Halal Certified Factory & Our Private BBQ Team
For events requiring strict adherence to Halal practices, we partner with a Halal-certified factory to prepare your food, ensuring there is no cross-contamination from non-Halal items. The BBQ food from this factory is fully Halal-certified, and our role in this setup is to manage the event with our professional Private BBQ Team.
Here’s how we do it:
-
Seamless Coordination: We arrange for the Halal-certified factory to prepare your food while we handle the event’s cooking, serving, and management.
-
Avoiding Cross-Contamination: We ensure that no non-Halal products come into contact with your food. Disposable plateware, separate grilling tools, and careful food handling practices are used to maintain the integrity of the food.
-
Professional BBQ Chefs & Assistants: Our team will be on-site, managing the BBQ and ensuring a smooth service. With years of experience hosting private events—big and small—you can count on us to provide an excellent service that matches the quality of the food.
Why Choose Shiok BBQ for Your Halal Event?
We recognize that organizing a Halal-friendly event can be challenging, especially when considering food safety and cross-contamination. That’s why we go the extra mile to make the process easy for you. Whether you choose our No Pork, No Lard option or work with us to arrange for fully Halal-certified food from a separate facility, we take pride in providing a seamless and enjoyable BBQ experience.
A Word on Cross-Contamination
We’re committed to maintaining strict hygiene practices when handling Halal requests. Here’s how we ensure that:
-
Separate Factory Production: When you opt for Halal-certified food, we use a different factory entirely, ensuring no cross-contamination with non-Halal products.
-
Disposable Plateware: We provide separate, disposable plateware and utensils to ensure cleanliness and convenience.
-
Dedicated Event Management: Our Private BBQ Team focuses on managing the event, ensuring all cooking and serving practices are done according to your dietary requirements.
We respect every individual’s dietary restrictions and religious requirements, and we’re always here to accommodate where possible. But if you’re unsure about whether a No Pork, No Lard option is suitable for your event, it might help to think through a few key points.
Consider the venue perspective:
-
Shared BBQ Pit: If your BBQ pit or grill is shared with non-Halal guests, would that be acceptable to your guests? If so, could a No Pork, No Lard option still meet your needs?
-
Kitchen Facilities: For venues like yachts, chalets, villas, or function rooms with shared kitchen facilities, is there potential for cross-contamination? If your equipment has been used with non-Halal items before, a No Pork, No Lard approach might work—but it’s something to discuss with your group beforehand.
By considering these details, you can make a more informed decision about whether a No Pork, No Lard option is suitable for your event, or if you need a fully Halal-certified service.
