Oh! What a treat for us!Despite the fact that our choices were limited due to all my allergies (seafood -all, celiac plus dairy, it just isn’t worth the bother sometimes to venture out for food cooked by a restaurant.) 
But I was so intrigued by – “Singapore street food” and – a local Lakewood business run by – a husband and wife- with lots of “let us know your allergies” notices, and places to list them- black rice pudding- after we placed our carry out order online, a phone call from the wife, asking if they could sub the pork w chicken bc of a gluten uncertainty with a pork ingredient! (we longtime celiacs know that’s a good sign, paying attention)

We got our food. I will order one heat level up next time but it was a great start. It was exciting to try different food. 

Dang Good Foods is also on FB. They frequently post a closed sign when they “sell out” of food for the day. Also a good sign.
