Singapura, Manhattan

Taking its name from the ancient moniker for Singapore, Singapura exemplifies the international character of the cosmopolitan city-state with a blend of Malaysian and Thai fare. Like the tempting trails of potato-curry puffs left by merchants along the Silk Road, the menu unites faraway locales through food, serving up paneer alongside coconut curries and fried rice. Palates are tickled with the tangy notes of tamarind, the distinctive flavors of shrimp-paste sauces, and the fiery touch of thai chilies. Catered feasts deliver exotic spreads to weddings and banquets, enlivening celebrations with rice-noodle dishes and marinated meats kissed with lemongrass and kaffir lime.
