I asked the same question a couple of years back when i was taking my 15 yr old son.
Allergic to nuts and seafood. I was mostly worried about the oil but was told they cook mainly in vegie oil cos peanut oil is too expensive. I was given the saying that said if my son eats ... he will need to go to hospital in Indonesian. For a week we were happy if he ate hot chips every meal!!!
We had one issue with a chocolate brownie sundae but anti inflammatories solved this problem.
So take tablets, and epipen to safeguard but be reassured its not as daunting as it seems. Doctors will quite happily give an epi pen but i would take a doctors letter cos you need to take this on plane with also.
Have a great holiday
