The Microsoft legend, Bill Gates hit up Newton Food Centre this week, casually blending in with the locals while trying out classic hawker fare — chicken rice, roti prata, and yes, even durian. He gave the spiky fruit a sniff before diving in, and honestly, that’s the only correct way to approach it.
Fellow foodies at the centre couldn’t believe their luck, snapping pics and videos that instantly blew up online. Because, you know, it’s not every day you see one of the richest guys in the world ordering prata.
Gates is in town for the 2025 Philanthropy Asia Summit, where he also dropped a major update: The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is setting up a new regional office right in Singapore.
After a packed two-day trip that included a sit-down with Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, it’s safe to say Gates made the most of his time here — one plate of chicken rice (and one whiff of durian) at a time.
