Safe Dining in Malaysia with G6PD Deficiency: Your Essential Guide

Navigating Malaysian cuisine with G6PD deficiency can be daunting. This hereditary condition requires avoiding triggers like fava beans (kacang parang), certain legumes, soy-based products, artificial food colorings, and specific preservatives prevalent in local dishes. Traditional Malay, Chinese, and Indian menus often contain hidden ingredients, making dining out risky without proper guidance.
