Singapore lays on huge banquet for journalists covering Trump-Kim summit
https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2...banquet-journalists-covering-trump-kim-summit
Singapore, arguably the food capital of Asia, is treating journalists to a spread of more than 20 local and international favorites at meal times.
There are quintessential Singaporean dishes, such as toast with a coconut and egg jam, chicken-rice, and thick vermicelli in a spicy broth that’s made with dried shrimp.
Chia Chi Wei, a journalist from Taiwan and first-time visitor to Singapore, tried the famous chicken-rice during a break: “I heard so much about it. It was very delicious.”
Belgian journalist Tom Van de Weghe arrived in the media center, luggage in hand, after a 30-hour journey.
“The food is amazing. Who is paying for all this?” he said. “It wouldn’t be Kim Jong Un, it wouldn’t be Trump, because they don’t want to spend money. But it’s the Singapore government, so thank you.”
