What should you ask about in China and Singapore?
China
Recipes vary by region and restaurant. Ask about the ingredients and equipment in the dish you are actually ordering.
Singapore
Hawker-centre and restaurant dishes draw on several food traditions. Check the specific stall, recipe, sauces, and shared equipment rather than assuming a dish is suitable.
Frequently asked questions
Is this card for Simplified or Traditional Chinese?
This guide and card use Simplified Chinese (简体字), for the destinations where that script is appropriate. Taiwan and Hong Kong commonly use Traditional Chinese (繁體字), so check the script before your trip. If you are traveling there, use our Traditional Chinese allergy card guide instead.
What do you get with the Simplified Chinese allergy card?
A printable PDF with a cut-out card, plus an image sized for your phone. Every allergen you select is printed in Simplified Chinese and English side by side. Cards with up to three allergens can also be added to Apple or Google Wallet.
Does a Simplified Chinese card work in Taiwan and Hong Kong?
Simplified Chinese is standard in mainland China and Singapore. Taiwan and Hong Kong use Traditional Chinese, so the characters are written differently. Check the wording you need before you travel rather than assuming one card covers every region.
Do restaurants in China accept written allergy cards?
Many will read a written Chinese allergy card, but acceptance and accommodation vary. Show it before ordering, ask how the dish is cooked and what is in the sauce or oil, and do not order if the answers are unclear.
