If you are a fan of Southeast Asian cooking but can\u2019t decide upon Thai, Malaysian, Hakka Chinese or Indian cuisine &#8211; Singapura has the best of everything from this culinary melting pot that comprises Singapore.  With authentic dishes such as Kari Ayam, a classic Malaysian coconut curry accompanied by chicken on the bone and Sarawak Sambal Udang, a red chili paste with ginger and coconut cream, <strong>Singapura is guaranteed to leave the palate craving for more. <\/strong> For spice lovers &#8211; try the Drums of Heaven- spicy and sweet pulled back lollipop wings, or the Malay fish curry that uses a base of tamarind with coconut milk, or the famous Thai Drunken Noodles &#8211; broad flat noodles stir fried with sweet black soy sauce and Thai chilies.  For those with a milder palette &#8211; opt for the malay fried chicken, nua nam tuk beef salad accented with lemongrass &#038; mint, or singapura thin rice curry noodles.  Be sure to save room for dessert with classics such as mango sticky rice or fried bananas.  Starters start from $4-9 and dinner entrees range from $13-16, while lunch specials run from $7-9 with selections from the more extensive dinner menu.  Enjoy a slice of the eclectic mix of Singapore in the heart on NYC.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.singapuranyc.com\">www.singapuranyc.com<\/a><br \/>\n106 Lexington Ave, NYC 212-684-6842<br \/>\n<!--break--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Set on a block with predominantly Indian restaurants (Lexington and 27th), Singapura is a welcome respite for those looking for<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":617,"featured_media":72448,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1010],"tags":[2118],"class_list":["post-13612","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cuisine","tag-cuisine"],"magazineBlocksPostFeaturedMedia":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u-113x150.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","medium_large":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","large":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","1536x1536":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","2048x2048":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","colormag-highlighted-post":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","colormag-featured-post-medium":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","colormag-featured-post-small":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u-113x90.jpg","colormag-featured-image":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","colormag-default-news":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u-113x150.jpg","colormag-featured-image-large":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","colormag-elementor-block-extra-large-thumbnail":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","colormag-elementor-grid-large-thumbnail":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","colormag-elementor-grid-small-thumbnail":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","colormag-elementor-grid-medium-large-thumbnail":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg"},"magazineBlocksPostAuthor":{"name":"LuvKitty","avatar":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/d438f7bfe2938a2f1899c8c7ffa7db3643a4f3a3c0cfe2150897633a033c8d59?s=96&d=mm&r=g"},"magazineBlocksPostCommentsNumber":"0","magazineBlocksPostExcerpt":"Set on a block with predominantly Indian restaurants (Lexington and 27th), Singapura is a welcome respite for those looking for","magazineBlocksPostCategories":["Cuisine"],"magazineBlocksPostViewCount":132,"magazineBlocksPostReadTime":2,"magazine_blocks_featured_image_url":{"full":["https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg",113,170,false],"medium":["https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg",113,170,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u-113x150.jpg",113,150,true]},"magazine_blocks_author":{"display_name":"LuvKitty","author_link":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/?author=617"},"magazine_blocks_comment":0,"magazine_blocks_author_image":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/d438f7bfe2938a2f1899c8c7ffa7db3643a4f3a3c0cfe2150897633a033c8d59?s=96&d=mm&r=g","magazine_blocks_category":"<a href=\"#\" class=\"category-link category-link-1010\">Cuisine<\/a>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13612","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/617"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=13612"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13612\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/72448"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=13612"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=13612"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=13612"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
