Eating out while having a food allergy is challenging in Singapore, as labelling of ingredients and awareness of cross-contamination risks remain uncommon among food businesses.
Thank you so much for posting this article. I am a Malaysian living in the US, and will be coming back to Malaysia and also visiting Singapore this coming July, along with my two sons. My eldest son will be coming to Singapore for the 1st time, he has severe peanut & tree nut allergy. We will be in Singapore for 3 days, and need some help on finding restaurants that are nut safe as well as the nearest hospitals that can might be able to treat anaplylactic shock if the need arises. We'd like to know
1) if contacting the restaurants prior to our arrival will be necessary and
2) if doctors / clinics in the area are educated on allergy dangers and how to treat anaphylaxic reaction (we are bringing epinephrine injections, but will still need hospital care in case of bad reaction).
If you have these info or any other info that can help us, that would be appreciated!

Hi Suriani, Were you able to travel safely and did you find out whether the doctors / clinics were well educated on proper allergy treatment? Thanks!
