I'm not a big fan of pasar malam or pasar Ramadhan. Not, after my friend who is a lecturer in Faculty of Hotel and Tourism Management did a research on E Coli Bacteria in contaminated food.The foods in pasar malam usually are exposed to dust, human dirty hands and other unhygienic handling. When she told me about her research findings, it makes me think twice to go to pasar malam. But, recently I was craving for Murtabak and went to Pasar Malam near my house. After searching and walking from stall to stall to find murtabak, I couldn't find any that went according to my specification- the eggs used must be washed. All of the Murtabak sellers in this pasar malam didn't wash their eggs. They just took the eggs from the eggs rack and used it straight away. I'm not exaggerating this. I watched one of the murtabak sellers bought a rack of eggs from the eggs seller and then he flipped the murtabak dough and used the eggs he bought without even washed it first.
The next day I went to my sister's house and we went to Taman Melawati's Pasar Malam and again out of the murtabak sellers there is only a seller who washed their eggs. My sister asked him whether he washed the eggs before using it as we saw the eggs were in the basket and not in eggs rack. He nodded and we bought his murtabak. If he lied to us it was between he and Allah. There was also a murtabak seller who was angry with my sister and said" orang lain buat macam ni jugak ( do not wash the eggs)" when she asked about it.
Some of you may think it is just a simple issue and I put too much concern on it. To be frank, I'm not against any pasar malam because sometimes I will go there too to find the food I'm craving for. What I'm trying to say here, it is not just about the unwashed egg shell serves as a good carrier to bacterial contamination but it is also about the not suci food that we consume without realizing it or sometimes we realize but we just ignore it. Just imagine foods that you look so yummy but not so hygienic and suci go into your throat and tummy. Yuck!

Assalamua'laikum, Dear Azuriy,
I agree with you. We also need to keep informing our society regarding this matter, and unrealizingly, this is part of educating the society. I believe, we are doing this because of Allah, right! Anyhow, making sure only a clean and "suci" food to be taken to me, nowadays, is "fardhu kifayah" and it is our right to ask.
Another thing that good to share; please be careful of buying any "kueh", nasi lemak, etc. from any street hawkers especially in residential areas. Please check their nationality. If they are not Malaysians, please check the items they sell. We have cases where not only unhygienic but also non-halal foods were sold. The tips; don't only look at how the hawkers dress up, but try to also hear their accent. Better cancel the intention to buy from those foreigners. BUY MALAYSIAN MUSLIMs only.
Let us pray to Allah to always protect us from all this craps. Keep making doa so that we are protected from taking any thing that is 'haram" that we don't know.
If we keen to take care of "agama Allah", Allah surely will care about ourselves. Do you agree Sis?!
Keep smiling, I-lal-li-qa' was-sa-la-mah.
Yuck!Memang diaorang ni tiada kesedaran sivik & tak prihatin langsung isu suci, bersih dan halal. Makan yong taufu tu pun kena hati2 coz takut ada benda yang tak halal.
Assalamua'laikum Azuriy,
Lets share this info;
Its has been agreed among ulamak that unwashed egg is carrying najis. Najis is "haram". So we must wash cleanly the eggs.
Some ulamak also had advised that try not to eat yongtaufoo especially at any food court (even at shopping complex). They have found out that most of the items were supplied by back door industries by non-Muslims that their back door area is "hanya tuhan yang tahu" how unhygenic they are.
Also, I will not buy anything or cancel my order if while preparing my food/order the seller is smoking.
Wallahua'lam. I-lal-li-qa' was-sa-la-mah
Zu,
Susah le nak cari penjual yang betul2 jaga kebersihan.. sebab tu ada orang yang tak mahu makan kat luar... the best way is masak sendiri.. tapi orang macam kita mahu or tidak bila time kerja kena juga makan kat luar. Cuma kena jadi 'pemilih'lah
