Social media have become the platforms for food trends as people find inspiration to try new dishes through viral photos and videos. Korean food is an example of breaking cultural barriers as its delicacies are now globalized. Malaysians are often linked with trying out viral food trends, nevertheless there are several issues related to halal status. This project focused on the development of a web-based halal food guide specifically for Asian cuisine based on the Agile methodology, Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor and MySQL. Through this guide users can search the food item, find the status of Halal certification and view the detailed of the ingredients. Additional features include user reviews and ratings to promote responsible consumers in sharing experiences and recommendations based on relevant (sahih) information and avoid questionable or dubious information (Syubhah) specifically on popular Asian food.
