Daisy and Bubbles are trying to figure out gluten-free life at home in Malaysia, and all around the world! Have a question? Drop us a line at daisynbubbles@gmail.com!
Here’s a quick and healthy set of snacks you can pick up that’s gluten-free:
Daisy’s favourite flavour of two possible gluten-free options!
Amazin’ Grazes nuts! Now, as delicious as they are, be careful and check the ingredients, as not all their products are gluten-free.
Here’s my fave, though: Five Spice Tamari Nut Mix! Super addictive but still okay, because it’s got healthy walnuts! They have another nut mix – a glazed orange flavour made with molasses.
Available at some yoga studios and health food stores, but also at Publika’s Ben’s Grocer.
Greetings from Hyderabad! I will be posting on my gastronomic adventures here in India soon, but before that, let me quickly post on an old favourite: Bijan. As far as fine Malay dining goes, this place is probably the best! An added bonus is that they are allergy-conscious as well – they cater to an expatriate and tourist crowd.
Let’s start with this: the food is intricate, spicy and delicious! You’ll find all your typical labour-intense Malay dishes: rendang, otak-otak, ayam panggang, nasi lemak.
Most dishes are gluten-free, and the waitstaff are generally well-informed about allergies. They also go to great lengths to modify recipes for you!
On a cool night, it is beautiful to sit outside in the candlelight, sip a fresh coconut, and enjoy some local delicacies!
From left to right: grilled prawns, pucuk paku (ferns) with garlic, nasi lemak, and (above) mango kerabu salad. My absolute favourites! What’s missing from the picture is the fresh coconut!
