Let's just say we are a family who love to eat! And eat well we do!

We just happen to have a family member with Coeliac Disease who requires a strict gluten free diet.

As an Australian family, we were spoilt for choice with gluten free products back home.
Having lived in Singapore since 2008, we have had to relearn how to do some of things that we had become pretty good at such as:
- how to read Singaporean food labels
- where the best places are to shop for gluten free products
- how to eat out local style in Singapore hawker centres and restaurants alike.

We hope this blog will provide assistance to others living gluten free, regardless of whether you are a visitor or a local. In particular, we hope it helps families with children who have to navigate through other challenges: school lunchboxes, canteen, playdates, parties and events at school.

Where to Shop in Singapore

In Singapore, there are two main supermarket chains called Cold Storage and NTUC Fairprice, with locations across the island. The stores which carry the biggest range of gluten free goods are:



My favourite supermarket in Singapore is Mustafa's located in Little India. Its open 24 hours and is quite a unique shopping experience. It's a massive store and you will get lost the first time you go, so don't plan on a quick shop. We buy some gluten free goods from here such as Hunter's Mini Pappadums but its really good for spices, nuts, rice, curry pastes, Indian soaps and incense. 



Specialties store that are worth checking out:



A number of pharmacies carry an affordable range of gluten free pasta and cereal. Two good stores are the Watsons Pharmacies at Tanglin Mall and Great World City both near to the supermarkets::
