I think your comment seems a bit loop sided but it's your opinion. I respect that but I just want to point out mine and I think many others. There are many foods that are still good with or without pork content. I am a cook myself and I have to sometimes prepare food without the original ingredients and make them 'halal'. In fact some are made even more better tasting with other ingredients. Just like Prawn Mee, I have to prepare them without pork and I substituted pork bones for the stock with crabs and they tasted many times better than those made with pork stock.

Your comment ,"chinese food without pork totally sucks." is a really typical new village comment. Many, many types of food are nice even without pork. Chinese food has it merits and so does other types of cooking. I don't think you have ever tried original Malay cooking. I have the experience of tasting a palace chef's Malay ( a friend's mother) cooking and I can tell you, it is heavenly. Why banned yourself from so much luxuries? Open up your mindset and start enjoy the diversity of food.

Everything is safe to eat until you start to overeat not only 'mamak shops' but even chinese food. Do you know the cholesterol content of 'kau yoke' or 'tong porr yoke'? Where do you get the idea that spicy food is unhealthy? In terms of spiciness or 'the level of hotness' as you mean here, we are way behind Mexican, Indians, Indonesians and sometimes even Korean but I guess you never tried them as you preferred chinese cooking.
