Singapore · Food concerns
This Singapore guide covers recorded peanut connections in curry sauce, fillings, garnishes, noodles, rojak, and satay sauce.
Editorial draft based on recorded food connections. Country-specific recipe connections await independent review; label research is identified separately below. This is not a list of suitable meals.
Understanding the food context
This Singapore reference brings together recorded dishes and ingredients to help you prepare questions about peanuts. It describes catalogue connections, not the suitability of a restaurant meal.
Examples to investigate include Ang Ku Kueh, Ice Kacang, Mee Goreng, Mee Rebus, Nasi Lemak. Open a dish to see its recorded ingredients, then check the version being served: recipes and bought-in sauces can differ.
Read the ingredient connections and check the product actually used.
Recorded dishes are examples to discuss, not suitability recommendations.

The records identify peanut directly and note that some curry sauce formulations include it. Peanut may also appear as crushed garnish, paste, filling, or sauce component, so its form can vary across foods.
See Peanut and Curry Sauce. Ask about both ingredients and accompaniments, because peanut is often recorded as an optional or added component.
Ask the kitchen
Is peanut used in the sauce, filling, garnish, or accompaniment?
Recorded dishes include Ang Ku Kueh with a common peanut-paste filling variation, Ice Kacang with optional peanuts, and Mee Rebus with crushed-peanut garnish. Satay is connected with accompanying peanut sauce.
Mee Goreng, Nasi Lemak, Popiah, and Rojak also have recorded peanut additions. Versions vary, so ask whether the noted component is included in this serving.
Ask the kitchen
Does this version include peanut paste, garnish, or sauce?

These ingredients are linked to dishes recorded for Singapore and to this food concern. A link is a prompt to check the exact product, not a statement about every recipe.
Some curry sauce formulations include peanut, while the peanut ingredient itself is the direct source. Ask whether a premade curry sauce contains peanut and whether peanut is blended into a spice paste or served separately.
For Peanut, identify the actual paste, crushed topping, or sauce used. Optional does not mean absent; ask whether it has been added to this order.
Ask the kitchen
Has peanut been blended into the sauce, paste, topping, or filling?
Peanut is included in some curry sauce formulations.
Peanut is the allergen source itself.
Recorded examples, recipes vary
Recorded recipes give you useful questions to ask. This is not a list of dishes declared suitable or unsuitable for every person.
Platesafe has no recorded peanuts connection for these dishes. This does not confirm they are free from peanuts. Recipes and preparation vary—check with the food provider.

Read the ingredient statement, not only a separate warning. SFA guidance requires specified hypersensitivity ingredients to be identified clearly on prepacked food; a Contains statement is optional.
Its listed groups include gluten-containing cereals, crustaceans, eggs, fish (including molluscs in this guidance), peanuts, soybeans, milk and tree nuts. Sulphites are covered at a total concentration of at least 10 mg/kg. Sesame, celery, mustard and lupin are not included in that table, so a summary of those groups cannot answer every concern.
This is a scoped packaged-food summary. Ask separately about a restaurant recipe and handling. Checked local-language restaurant requests have not yet been added here.
Check the exact food and its form. For peanuts, use the ingredient entries below to investigate recorded names. A name for a whole ingredient may not describe a powder, extract or mixed sauce. Confirm which product the kitchen uses.
Keep the original packet or a clear photograph available when asking for help. Ingredient recognition and a complete restaurant request are different tasks: a translated name alone does not explain the preparation you need.
Before you order
Contact the restaurant before your visit and explain your requirements to someone who can check the kitchen. Ask about the full recipe, bought-in ingredients and shared preparation equipment. These are general planning steps, not a claim about local restaurant practices.
When ordering, ask about curry sauce, spice pastes, fillings, toppings, and side sauces. The recorded examples make peanut sauce with Satay and crushed peanuts with Rojak or Mee Rebus specific prompts.
Ask whether an optional topping has already been mixed into the dish. Check the entire order, including garnishes and accompaniments, rather than only the main portion.
Ask the kitchen
Is peanut included anywhere in the dish or its accompaniments?
After checking the recipe, ask how peanut-containing sauces and garnishes are stored, portioned, and added. You can also ask about shared utensils and containers used for peanut sauces or toppings.
The records do not describe venue practices. Request the kitchen’s own preparation details, keeping them separate from whether peanut is a listed ingredient.
