Kosher-observant Jews, on the other hand, will have a harder time as '''kosher''' food is nearly unknown in Singapore. There is a kosher grocery store on the grounds of the '''Maghain Aboth Synagogue''' on Waterloo Street, as well as a kosher branch of Coffee Bean nearby; check with the [http://www.singaporejews.com/ Jewish Welfare Board]{{Dead link|date=June 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot }} for details. There are two kosher restaurants in Singapore: [https://singaporejews.com/awafi-restaurant/ Awafi] a casual restaurant on the grounds of the Maghain Aboth Synangogue, and [https://aniba.com.sg/ Aniba], an Israeli [[fine dining]] restaurant.
Awareness of '''allergies''' is generally limited. Severe '''shellfish allergy''' is particularly problematic for local food, since shrimp paste (''belacan/hae bi'') is very commonly used in both local Chinese and Malay cooking and many soup stocks are flavored with prawns
For both, Indian cuisine is worth exploring, since the South Indian style that is common in Singapore rarely uses either ingredient. '''Coeliac disease''' is relatively unheard of in Singapore, so don't expect to find information on menus about whether dishes contain gluten or not. Gluten awareness is spreading in Singapore as well, and many upmarket restaurants will have internationally trained chefs who can cater to your needs. Gluten-free products are available in most '''[http://www.coldstorage.com.sg/ Cold Storage]''' and Marketplace supermarkets. You can also treat yourself to many naturally gluten-free regional specialities, such as Hainanese chicken rice (be sure to ask for chicken without sauce) and Indian ''masala dosa'' rice/lentil crepes.
