  1. Harmony Nasi Lemak

This central Singapore establishment has paired its food with a bunch of quirky artwork as well, like caricatures of Trump and Kim along with the phrase, “Let’s make HARMONY great again!” As for the food, the restaurant has introduced a diplomatic take on the Singaporean classic, Nasi Lemak. Christened “Trump-Kim Chi Nasi Lemak”, this version is served with U.S. dry-aged beef and a stack of spicy kimchi. Moreover, the portion is also bigger as it’s the American version, it’s the American portion,” said Zach Wen, Harmony’s co-founder.

  1. Lucha Loco

Trump’s stand on all things Mexican may be a topic of debate but this Mexican outlet in Singapore is not having any of that controversial talk. Lucha Loco launched its “El Gringo” and “El Hombre Cohete” tacos to go with the occasion. While the El Gringo has all the ingredient to mimic the taste of a typical American cheeseburger, the El Hombre Cohete (fun fact, this translates to ‘rocket man’) is filled with Korean fried chicken.
