THEY created history by meeting and signing a document the world hopes will lead to the denuclearisation of Korean Peninsula.

But before US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un put pen to paper the pair chatted over lunch - and it didn’t involve a burger.

The world leaders dined out on beef short ribs, sweet and sour crispy pork, and braised codfish at their historic summit in Singapore.

Details released by the White House revealed the lunch began on Tuesday with a prawn cocktail and avocado salad, and green mango kerabu with honey lime dressing and octopus.

Side dishes included potato dauphinois, steamed broccolini, fried rice and Asian vegetables.

Dessert included dark chocolate tartlet and Haagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream.

Among those joining the leaders on the US side were Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, White House chief of staff John Kelly and national security adviser John Bolton.

The North Korean delegation included Kim Yong Chol, a top aide to Kim Jong Un who recently met Trump at the White House.
