Prawns and Haagen-Dazs on menu as Trump-Kim meet

AFP, Singapore
Tue Jun 12, 2018 10:34 AM Last update on: Tue Jun 12, 2018 10:39 AM
This handout photo taken on June 12, 2018 and released by The Straits Times shows North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un (3rd L) shaking hands with US President Donald Trump (3rd R) as they sit down with their delegations for the historic US-North Korea summit, at the Capella Hotel on Sentosa island in Singapore.

The main course may be hard-to-swallow denuclearisation, but Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un also had a heady mix of Yangzhou fried rice and a dark chocolate tartlet ganache on their plates during their historic summit today.

According to a menu card published from the White House, Kim and Trump had a plethora of western, Korean, Chinese and Malay dishes to choose from at the swanky Capella hotel in Singapore.

To start there was prawn cocktail with avocado salad, a Malay "green mango kerabu with honey lime dressing and fresh octopus" and "oiseon" -- a Korean stuffed cucumber dish.

For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel.

The number of options speak to the cultural chasm between the two delegations, but also perhaps the idiosyncrasies of the two leaders.

Trump is a notoriously picky and unadventurous eater, enjoying Big Macs and steak (well done, with ketchup).

For the second course he would probably opt for the "beef short rib confit, served with potato dauphinoise and steam broccolini, red wine sauce on the side."

Or, in a nod to China's substantial influence over the talks, he and Kim could have picked the "combination of sweet and sour crispy pork and Yangzhou Fried Rice with homemade XO chili sauce."

In case Kim is similarly picky, he could turn to the familiar comfort of "Daegu jorim" -- a soy braised cod fish with radish, asian vegetables.

It is unclear whether the unlikely couple came together at the end over Haagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream with cherry coulis -- or whether Trump, as he has done before, gave himself two scoops when everyone else got one.
