AIP Diet Survival Guide for Malaysian Street Food Adventures
Exploring Malaysia's vibrant street food culture doesn't have to be stressful when on the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) diet. With traditional dishes often featuring non-compliant ingredients like rice, nightshades, eggs, dairy, and soy sauce, it can feel like a culinary minefield. The mm food app transforms this challenge into a safe, delicious adventure by instantly translating menus and analyzing dishes for your specific restrictions.
Hidden AIP Pitfalls in Malaysian Cuisine
Malaysian favorites often contain problematic ingredients:
- Sauces & Marinades: Soy sauce (wheat), oyster sauce (sugar/gluten)
- Frying Agents: Common vegetable oils (seed oils) and batters (rice flour)
- Protein Preparations: Marinated meats with tamarind (nightshade) or legumes
- Flavor Boosters: MSG, processed sugars, and peanut garnishes

mm food's AI-powered features simplify your experience:
- Real-Time Menu Translation Scan any handwritten Malay, Chinese, or Tamil street stall menu for instant English translation – no more ingredient guesswork

- Nightshades (chili, tomato, eggplant)
- Grains & legumes
- Dairy and eggs

Street Food Finds That Pass the AIP Test
While navigating with mm food, watch for these naturally compliant options:
