Halal food products are derives from halal sources. Some restaurant can claim that they serve no Pork or No Lard. But if their premises do sell alcohol, then they cannot get a Halal certification. The terms no pork or no lard doesnt serve as halal. Perhaps the restaurant do not use the forbidden meat but the ingredient that they use can derive from non halal sources.
To non muslim, as long as the food that contain no pork or lard is consider Halal to be consumed. This is not true as the sources to cook the food such as sauces or additional ingredients can be of haram origin. Plus if its contain meat such as chicken or beef, that its need to be slaughter according to Islamic rites. Its is wise for those restaurant not to catergories their food as Halal due to the No Pork No Lard standard. Please be aware that such claimed can be offended to some Muslim.
There are a lot of eating places in Singapore that claimed to be Halal due to No Pork and No Lard policy. If you are a Muslim visiting Singapore, please take note that this is not a sign that the food is Halal to be consumed. It is best to look out for the Halal Certificate that eateries display at their premises. Please take note that the certificate do have an expiry date on it. If they just indicate that their restaurant is Halal and no Halal certificate is being displayed, do ask them for it. If they really do have, then they will gladly show them to you. If otherwise, then you should use your judgement as a Muslim whether to consume the food at that particular restaurant or eating place. May Allah give you guidance and blessing. Amin.
