We may claim that we eat the luxurious of the food stuffs available in the
place,but here are some giantkillers who can leave our mouths wide open in
amazement,guys:
#1 A PRICE OF LOVE
A Japanese chocolate made for Valentine's Day 2006 was
ENCRUSTED WITH 2006 DIAMONDS AND PRICED AT 500 MILLION YEN ( US $ 4.4
MILLION).The chocolate was designed in the shape of the continent of Africa,and
IT GOT SOLD!
#2 GOLDEN DESSERT
In 2007, a New York City restaurant unveiled a chocolate
dessert costing a cool $ 25,000.Stephen Bruce,the owner of the restaurant
Serendiptiy 3,revealed that the expensive sundae contained a blend of 28 rare
cocoas from 14 countries, topped with cream,and SPRINKLED WITH 23 CARAT EDIBLE
GOLD DUST and an EXOTIC TRUFFLE.In addition to the food,the customer got to
take home the GOLD AND DIAMOND goblet in which it was served,the 18 CARAT GOLD
SPOON used to eat it,and a ladies' GOLD BRACELET, SOLD!!!!
#3 LUXURY BAGEL
Frank Tujaue,executive chef of the Westin New York Hotel in
Times Square,prepared a 1000 $ BAGEL in 2007.Topped with WHITE TRUFFLE
CREAM-CHEESE and GOJI-BERRY infused RIESLING Jelly with GOLDEN LEAVES,the
luxury bagel was so pricey because white truffle is the second most expensive
fod in the world,next to premium caviar.
#4 THE PRIZED LYCHEE
Known as "The King of Fruit",the lychee has
always been popular in China.Few,however,have been sold like the price of the below shown lychee,which went for a HUGE 5,55,000 YUAN ($ 67,000) at an auction in
Zengcheng City,China,in 2002. It came from a 400 YEAR OLD tree named
Xiyuangualu,which yields only a few dozen lychees each year.
#5 EXPENSIVE TASTE
A hamburger on the menu at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in
Tokyo,Japan,COSTS 13,450 YEN ($112)-that's MORE THAN 40 TIMES the price of a
McDonald's burger.The beef in the burger comes from Wagyu cattle,which are
specially bred for the flavor,juiciness,and tenderness of their meat.
