10 Food Places To Bring Trump And Kim To After The June 12 Singapore Summit

6th June 2018

Food places to bring Trump and Kim to


Itโ€™s safe to say that the Trump and Kim meeting in Singapore will be one of the most exciting things to happen in our Little Red Dot this year. The summit, which will be taking place on 12 June 2018, will be held at Capella in Sentosa. Now, judging by the size of both leaders, we assume having good food is a must. And if thereโ€™s one thing Singapore is known for, it is exactly that. Here is our list of 10 food places weโ€™d suggest bringing Trump and Kim to!


1. Five Star Corner

In the words of Trump, the dishes at Five Star Corner are yuge (huge). There are many reasons why we believe this hawker Western food stall will impress both leaders. For starters, the Chicken Cutlet ($6) will definitely fit Trump’s American XXL appetite, while the Black Pepper Steak ($9.50) might impress Kim thanks to the sizzling sounds and rising smoke that come with it when it’s being served.

Address: 805 Hougang Central, #01-116, Food Park, Singapore 530805
Opening hours: Daily 11am to 9pm


2. Meet 4 Meat

Since we donโ€™t know who will be paying Kimโ€™s bill, a meal at an expensive steak restaurant might be out of the question. To keep the budget low but quality high, both leaders can consider dining at Meet 4 Meat. Run by an ex-chef from Wooloomooloo Steakhouse, which is one of Singaporeโ€™s best steak restaurants, a slab of juicy, 100% Aussie Ribeye will only set them back $16 per person. On top of that, itโ€™s located along the historic stretch of Katong, so they can squeeze in a short sightseeing session too. #doublekill

Opening hours: Mon-Fri 10:30am to 9:30pm, Sat-Sun 8:30am to 9:30pm

3. Pasir Ris Food Centre

To truly experience Singapore, a trip to a hawker centre is a must. And while most would recommend more famous ones such asย Maxwell Food Centre and Amoy Street Food Centre, there might not be enough food there to suit their fussy fancies. As such, the best hawker centre to bring both powerhouses to would be Pasir Ris Central Hawker Centre. The two-storey food centre offers both old-school grub and more atas dishes including army stew, bingsu, burgers and wagyu beef bowls!

Address: 110 Pasir Ris Central, Singapore 519641

4. Upot

Sharing is caring, but I doubt both leaders are the sharing sort. That is why Upot will be ideal if they are looking to see what the fuss is all about behind Singaporeansโ€™ love for steamboat. Here, ingredients are displayed on a conveyor belt, and you are given your own personal hot pot to cook your food in. Soup bases include Taiwanese Herbal Pork Rib Soup ($8.80++), Thai Tom Yum ($7.80++), Wild Mushroom Soup ($7.80++), Japanese Kombu & Bonito soup ($7.80++), Xiaolongkan Old Hotpot ($9.80++), and Tomato Soup ($7.80++).

5. Vatos Urban Tacos

Trump may outrightly dislike Mexico, but we are pretty sure he has a soft-spot for Mexican food – or at least Tex-Mex dishes. And a place that takes a Korean spin on Tex-Mex food is Vatos Urban Tacos. Great for easing Kim into this fusion cuisine, is theย Kimchi Carnitas Fries ($18++) topped with braised carnitas pulled pork, sauteed kimchi, melted cheese, sour cream and house-made hot sauce.

6. Mr and Mrs Mohganโ€™s Roti Prata

Since carbs are scientifically known to improve oneโ€™s mood, we daresay having prata for breakfast can help set the tone for a positive day ahead and maybe, just maybe, allow them to easily come to an amicable agreement. And the best place to get kosong prata ($0.90) is at Mr and Mrs Mohganโ€™s Roti Prata, with each prata boasting a crispy exterior and fluffy layers inside. Each prata is also accompanied by a side of dalcha or fish curry, making it a more satisfying meal.

7. The Ship

We can 100% agree that things will get heated up at the summit. And while no firearms are allowed, a display of fiery action is still possible with a flaming dish at long-standing restaurant The Ship. Here, they can order the Ship Steak ($36.90++), which is flambรฉd with brandy at your table for a spectacle – Kim’s favourite.ย 

Address: 1 Scotts Road, #03-16/18, Shaw Centre, Singapore 228208
Opening hours: Mon-Thur 11am to 3pm, 5:30pm to 9:30pm, Fri-Sat 11am to 3pm, 5:30pm to 10pm

8. Goodwood Park


Trump Kim Summit Goodwood Park Durian Fiesta

As I write this article, I couldnโ€™t help but wonder if Trump or Kim has ever eaten durian before. Well, if they havenโ€™t, a great way to introduce them to this pungent fruit is at Goodwood Parkโ€™s annual Durian Buffet (from $38.80++ per person). No stranger to most Singaporeans, the fiesta showcases a bunch of toothsome durian creations such as D24 Mousse Cakeย and D24 White Chocolate Raspberry Dome.

9. NY Night Market

If there’s one restaurant that can make both leaders feel comfortable, it’s NY Night Market. Sure, it is not a North Korean restaurant – obviously – but it does offer zhng-ed up Western food boasting Korean flavours. Plus, it mirrors the cosmopolitan markets of New York City, giving Trump a taste of home. To sweeten the mood, they should get Cream The Curry ($13.90++), which comes with a cloud of whipped cream that is lit up to reveal beef curry with Korean rice cakes, mushrooms, and vegetables.

Address: 3 Gateway Drive, #01-08, Westgate, Singapore 608532
Opening hours: Daily 11am to 10pm

10. Royal Plaza on Scotts

To end our list, we have Scotts Loungeโ€™s Trump-Kim Burger ($12++) and Summit Iced Tea ($6++). Available from 8 to 15 June 2018 between 6pm and 10pm, this is currently the only dish that is specially created for both presidents. The scrummy burger meshes up American and Korean flavours, and is made up of a minced chicken and kimchi patty and seaweed. It also comes with kimbap and fries, making it really value for money. ย
