Eating Out
Some of the safer restaurant types:
- Thai : These are safe for me: panang curry, green / red / yellow curry and laksa (as long as it is rice noodle)
- Malay / Indonesian : Soto Ayam is safe for me. Some of the soups are really good. Avoid the peanut sauces.
- Vietnamese : These are safe for me: Beef Noodle Soup or Chicken Noodle Soup (they call it pho`)
- Japanese : Sushi is safe for me. But, I don't think the teriyaki beef / chicken is 100% safe (probably has some wheat or bean paste in the sauce).
I don't think I reacted to Miso soup the last time I tried it, but I want to give it another test.
- Chinese: I avoid chinese restaurants as they love to put corn flour on the vegies - they also corn flour inside some of their dumplings. Most of the sauces are based on corn flour or bean pastes.. very bad. BBQ duck/chicken on rice might be safe but ask for no sauce on the veggies.
I was surprised to find that I react to BBQ Pork ! There are several ingredients to char siu sauce that could cause grief including: yellow bean, Hoisin sauce, and oyster sauce. - Indian : I avoid indian as they make their sauces out of onion puree and dairy. Tandoori chicken on rice might be the safest thing here?
Folks, this post is way out of date. I would only recommend this list of restaurants if you are following a Low Starch Diet that includes rice.
I used to eat quite a bit of rice but had to give it up in order to experience further remission and to relieve some annoying health complaints.. ie: eczema, yeast infections, dehydration at night.
These days when I do eat out I typically eat meat and salad. Often with the sauce served separately.
== grilled fish ==
When ordering fish make sure that you ask them not to 'flour' the fish, or just let them know you can't eat wheat / flour. It is common practice in restaurants when cooking grilled fish to dust the fish lightly with flour.
