In the east village, on St. Mark's there are some great Asian joints. Honestly I cannot remember their names, as I've always had way too good a time on the street, but I do remember the quality. Seriously authentic. I'll update later after I talk to my girlfriend, she should know some names.
First post here. I just started reading the feeds and they are fantastic.

Thank you Kbear I am aware of that. But if you knew about singapore you would know that the population is mostly made up of Chinese, Indian and Malaysian citizens. I would have written, does anyone know where to find authentic chinese/indian/malaysian/singaporean cuisine in ny, but the 200 charater limit wouldn't let me:). I've lived 17 years of my life between Hong Kong and Singapore. I am aware that many places make up Asia I was just trying to find the easiest way to get my answer, no thanks to you:)

First of all, Waterbaby, welcome to Serious Eats, where almost all the time the conversation is lively, passionate, discerning, and inclusive. I hope you'll come often to hang out, chew the fat, get restaurant advice, and find out what's going on in the food world. There's a great Japanese octopus fritter place on 9th Street between 3rd and 2nd avenues, Otafuku. And on 27th and Lex there's a great south Indian place called Saravannas on the east side of the street. On First Avenue and 13th street there's a Filipino restaurant called Elvie's that's supposed to be really good. And there's Momofuku, where the soups are amazing and the pork buns are even better, but it it more interpretive thatn authentic.

Oh thank you thank you thank you thank you!! I cannot tell you how happy I am for the advice. It's funny, one of the sure fire cures for me when I'm homesick is some home cooking:) I guess that's the power of food. That might have been dorky, but it's true.

Oh how I miss those Singapore Indian Food! I haven't got used to the Indian food in NY, tried once and never had it again ... hahaha. :o) Maybe we should organise a day to go eat some good asian food in Chinatown. :o)
