The White House has released the menu for the lunch during the historic summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore on Tuesday (12 June), and it features elements of Western, Korean and Asian cuisine.

The Korean food on the menu includes stuffed cucumber and soy-braised cod fish, while Western dishes include beef short rib confit and tropizienne pastry.

There is also a Malay salad dish of green mango kerabu, and a Chinese dish combining sweet and sour pork and fried rice.

The North Korean and American delegations sat down for a working lunch after a bilateral meeting between officials of both countries at the Capella hotel on Sentosa.

Here’s the full menu: For starters, the two statesmen and their delegations had traditional prawn cocktail served with avocado salad; green mango kerabu with honey lime dressing and fresh octopus; and oiseon, or Korean stuffed cucumber.

For the main courses, they had beef short rib confit served with potato dauphinois and steamed broccolini, with red wine sauce on the side; a combination of sweet and sour crispy pork and Yangzhou fried rice with homemade XO chilli sauce; and daegu jorim, or soy-braised cod fish with radish and Asian vegetables.

Desserts were dark chocolate tartlet ganache; Häagen-Dazs ice cream with cherry coulis; and tropizienne, a pastry consisting of a brioche filled with cream.
