Restaurants and bars in Singapore have rolled out dishes and drinks based on tomorrow’s summit between Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un
Hotels and food outlets in Singapore are building on the hype surrounding tomorrow’s historic summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
They are trying to use the landmark meeting as an opportunity to increase publicity and sales by rolling out new summit-themed options on their menus.
The firms said they feel excited about the city state hosting the important summit and want to commemorate it through specially designed dishes with both American and Korean influences.
Royal Plaza on Scotts, a five-star hotel sitting near Orchard Road, started to offer two special items ― the Trump-Kim Burger and Summit Iced Tea ― from June 8.
“The summit is a historic event and a significant step in bridging relations between the two countries,” Patrick Fiat, general manager at Royal Plaza on Scotts, said.
“Food brings people together and friendships are often built around the dining table, hence the creation of the Trump-Kim Burger and Summit Iced Tea.
The grilled Trump-Kim Burger is made up of a minced chicken and kimchi patty, and seaweed, with Korean rice rolls and fries. The Summit Iced Tea is specially concocted by infusing iconic Korean flavour honey yuzu into traditional American iced tea.
Fiat said that guests from Singapore and overseas have shown interest in the special offerings.
