Navigating Vegan Histamine Safety in Indonesian Warungs

Traveling through Indonesia's vibrant culinary landscape can be challenging for vegans with histamine intolerance. Warungs (local eateries) often feature fermented ingredients and complex sauces, making it difficult to identify safe options. With the mm food app, you can confidently explore authentic dining experiences while staying true to your dietary needs.

The Double Challenge: Vegan + Histamine Control

Indonesian staples like tempeh (fermented soy), kecap manis (sweet soy sauce), and terasi (shrimp paste – often hidden in sauces) pose risks for vegans managing histamine sensitivity. Traditional dishes also feature high-histamine ingredients such as tomatoes, spinach, eggplant, and fermented tofu – which may trigger reactions.

How mm food Solves This

1. Instant Menu Translation: Scan any warung menu to get instant translations from Bahasa Indonesia to your native language. No more guessing ingredients!
2. AI-Powered Safety Analysis: Set your profile to "Vegan + Low Histamine." Our AI cross-references dishes against:
   • Animal-derived ingredients
   • Histamine triggers like fermented foods, aged items, and specific produce
   • Customizable sensitivities (e.g., nightshades)
3. Clear Visual Guidance: Dishes receive safety ratings: ✅ Green = Vegan & low-histamine (e.g., fresh gado-gado without tempeh) ⚠️ Yellow = May require modifications (e.g., nasi goreng without shrimp paste) ❌ Red = Contains avoidable ingredients (e.g., sayur lodeh due to coconut milk aging)

Pro Tips for Warung Dining

• Scan menus before ordering to avoid fermented bases like ketjap or soy sauce
• Request modifications using the app's phrasebook (e.g., "Tolong tanpa terasi" – no shrimp paste)
• Opt for freshly prepared dishes: steamed vegetables, grilled tofu, or fruit bowls
