Authentic Singaporean food in Flushing. Very clean, quaint location off the beaten path. Parking is not wonderful, but better than the street parking in downtown Flushing. The food is unique. You get some of the staples. Everyone loves the sweet chilli crabs, peppercorn crabs, hainese chicken, and oyster omelettes. All well portioned. Prices are on the higher end. The soft-shelled crabs weren't that many, but very tasty. Cash gives you a discount.
SINGAPORE 🇸🇬
Eat the World NYC review:
Yummy Tummy Asian Bistro has a menu full of Southeast and Far Asian foods, but focuses its heart on the cuisine of Singapore, a nation with an incredible mashup itself. Anyone who has traveled to Singapore comes away with an awe from the food. Simple eateries are everywhere, but most pack such an immense amount of deliciousness. There are collisions of culture that make the food so satisfying, as if it is growing and evolving right before your eyes. No matter what ethnicity a resident of the country might be, it is the cuisine that is an immediate unifier.

It is nice to see the emergence of another casual Singaporean eatery since the closing of wonderful Chomp Chomp in the West Village. While you may not walk out of the doors like you walk out of the food courts and hawker stalls of Singapore, skipping and whistling after amazing meals, the mostly Chinese-influenced Singaporean standards here are done pretty well and worth seeking out.

Behind maybe only chicken rice and air conditioning, soft shell crab might be the third most loved thing in Singapore, and you cannot go long without being invited to join new friends to eat it. One of the most popular ways is to deep fry it and smother it in chilli sauce, which they do here as well ($28). I remember being overwhelmed with heat in Singapore, and while this dish is served with a slow burn that eventually comes up, it may be worth asking for some extra heat to eat the dish as intended.
They have updated their menu and the new offerings are great. More Middles Eastern and European influences but they still have their original menu buried somewhere in there. The spicy salted egg calamari is a must try, very decadent. Will be back to try new options soon.
