Navigating Singapore's Hawker Centres Safely with a Nut Allergy

Singapore’s hawker centres are vibrant culinary wonderlands, but for those with nut allergies, they can feel like minefields. From satay sauces to hidden garnishes, nuts appear unexpectedly in many dishes—often complicated by language barriers with stall owners. This is where mm food becomes your essential dining companion.

The Double Protection of mm food

Our app offers two critical safeguards:

1. Instant Menu Translation: Point your camera at any menu to see dishes described in your native language, removing guesswork and misinterpretations.
2. Allergy Alert System: Pre-set your nut allergy (or add custom restrictions) and our AI cross-references every ingredient against known allergens before recommending safe options.

Using mm food at Hawker Centres

• Before You Order: Activate the app's dietary filter for "nut-free" and scan the menu. Dishes flagged in green meet your requirements—like chicken rice or steamed fish.
• Real-Time Analysis: The app warns about hidden dangers (e.g., laksa with ground peanuts, rojak salad dressings, or woks used for nut-based dishes).
• Visual Aid: Show hawkers the app’s built-in allergy card in Mandarin, Malay, or Tamil explaining "No nuts, please" to ensure clear communication.

Pro Safety Tips

• Opt for dishes prepared fresh to avoid cross-contamination
• Stick to stalls with simpler ingredients (soups, steamed buns)
• Avoid sauces and gravies unless verified by mm food’s AI scan

With mm food, you can relish authentic char kway teow (requested without fried lard crumbs) or savoury bak chor mee while staying safe. Turn anxiety into adventure—one nut-free meal at a time!
