SINGAPORE: American billionaire and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates was spotted dining at Newton Food Centre here on Tuesday evening, Channel News Asia (CNA) reported.
Gates, who was accompanied by a small entourage and film crew, sampled local favourites such as chicken rice, satay and durian.
Social media videos showed Gates trying durian with a hesitant reaction and later enjoying a variety of dishes during what appeared to be a filmed interview.
His visit coincided with the Philanthropy Asia Summit 2025, where he announced plans for the Gates Foundation to open an office here.
During his trip, Gates also met with top Singaporean leaders, including Prime Minister Lawrence Wong and President Tharman Shanmugaratnam.
