My girlfriend is living there for a year and i am planning to visit her. so far i have done ok in foreign countries with eating and eating out (i.e. france, germany) but i am a bit worried about Singapore. any tips? when her and i travel together i try to not make a big deal out of the gluten thing..im careful but dont drive her and other people crazy, but i fear Singapore might be a problem and i dont wanna go there and starve to death. she loves eating out and i enjoy eating out with her so i dont want to ruin this trip

I'd be careful in Singapore...my parents lived there for several yeasr (this was prior to my diagnosis) and 'stall food' was hugely popular but it almost always contained soy sauce (and I'm pretty sure it wasn't gluten-free soy sauce considering the vast amounts used!) I think you'll do better to stick to the nicer restaurants but you probably want to phone ahead to see if they can accomodate you...I haven't been back in several years so perhaps things have changed plus S'pore is a pretty cosmopolitan place so hopefully the basic knowledge is there...just don't assume.
