Where to chill out in Singapore while Trump and Kim are talking the talk
There’s no doubt security arrangements will be something to contend with while the summit takes place, so why not just sit back and enjoy all that the city has to offer
It’s confirmed: those “will-they-or-won’t-they” talks between Kim Jong-un and Donald Trump are going ahead, according to White House press secretary Sarah Sanders. They’ll be held at the Capella hotel on Singapore’s Sentosa Island next Tuesday.
For those of you who have already planned a trip to Singapore coinciding with the June 12 summit, and who are anxious to avoid all the extra security and traffic arrangements surrounding this historic get-together, it may already be too late to arrange a detour or to cancel your flights.
So while you’re there, why not just sit back, chill out, and tune into – or out of – developments at this meeting between perhaps two of the most peculiar leaders of our times.
We recommend five eateries and bars that are local favourites.
1. Employees Only
Ask the locals what their favourite bar is, and many will answer: “Employees Only”. Originally from New York City, and included on The World’s 50 Best Bars list, Employees Only opened in Singapore in 2016 (and in Hong Kong last year) and is headed by Igor Hadzismajlovic, one of the five original Employees Only partners in New York, and chef Julia Jaksic. You can’t call it a visit without trying their signature New York cocktails.
Address: 112 Amoy Street
2. Publico Deli
