Singapore: The much awaited historic meet between US President and North Korea leader Kim Jong Un took place on Tuesday. Both the leaders had a successful meeting and North Korea assured to start the process of complete denuclearisation 'very, very quickly'.

After their bilateral meeting at the Capella hotel in Singapore's Sentosa island when Trump and Kim Jong Un sat down for a working lunch, they were presented with a menu that suited the palate of both the leaders. 

As the two leaders entered the room, photographs were taken, with US President Donald Trump joking about wanting to get a "beautiful picture" in which he looked good. 

Trump and Kim Jong Un along with their respective delegation were seated on either side of a long white table facing one another. The table was decorated with green and white flowers. 

For the summit chefs, the Tuesday's lunch was a tall order. US President Donald Trump is a picky eater, while Kim Jong Un specifically requested a type of cold noodles made by a restaurant in Pyongyang when he dined with South Korean President Moon Jae-in at their meeting in April.

Here's their menu in full, as provided by the White House:

Starters

Traditional prawn cocktail served with avocado salad

Green mango kerabu with honey lime dressing and fresh octopus

"Oiseon" (Korean stuffed cucumber)

Main course

Beef short rib confit, served with potato dauphinois and steam broccolini, red wine sauce on the side

Desserts
