Thanks to the magic that is Twitter, we’re getting a glimpse of what was on the menu. And it appears to be a delightful Western-Asian fusion to accommodate its patrons.
Highlights include mango kerabu, a refreshing salad dish made of fresh unripe mango tossed in a tangy dressing; Yangzhou fried rice (Yeung Chow fried rice), a popular Chinese-style wok fried rice dish which originates from the city of Yangzhou, Jiangsu province in China; Oiseon, a Korean dish of cucumbers stuffed with beef, brown oak mushrooms, and egg white and yolk garnish; Beef short rib confit, beef shot rib slowly cooked in fat or oil; and Daegu Jorim, soy-braised codfish with radish.
The meal was topped off with a selection of desserts including Häagen-Dazs vanilla ice-cream with cherry coulis and Tropezienne, a dessert pastry consisting of a filled brioche, thus ending the #TrumpKimSummit on a sweet note.
