Crazy Expensive Meals that Should be Respected, Not Digested
Yes, the price tag of these meals are beyond your imagination!
$3 Million Dessert, you say? Or how about a small $2,000 platter of artisan sushi? It can't get any first world than this- let's dig right in to the world's most expensive meals:
Zillion Dollar Lobster Frittata
$1,000 or Php 45,000
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and if you have a thousand dollar bill to spare, why not have the best morning ever with the Zillion Dollar Lobster Firttata? This is served at the Le Parker Meridien at New York and this is made out of 10 ounces of high-class sefruga caviar (which prices $65 per ounce), 6 eggs, an entire lobster, chives and cream. Why is it worth a thousand dollars? We'll never know.
Sushi del Oriente
$2,000 or Php 90,000
Made by Chef Angelito Araneta Jr., a platter of this sushi roll comprises wild saffron, foie gras (fragility banned in numerous nations) and sea cucumber. Topped with 12 Palawan pearls, four 0.2 karat diamonds and enfolded in gold leaf. How delightful.
Fleur Burger 5000
$5,000 (obviously) or Php 225,000
This Kobe beef burger comes topped with seared foie gras and truffles on a brioche truffle bun. But what really jacks up the price is a bottle of 1995 Chateau Petrus wine and the two crystal stemware glasses that the restaurant delivers to the home of anyone who orders the burger. So far, the restaurant has sold about 26 Fleur Burger 5000s and there is no need to order in advance.
AnQi Pho Soup
$5,000 or Php 225,000 as well.
A bowl of soup can do so much but who knew it can cost so much too? This dish is from a restaurant based in Santa Monica and is made with Wagyu beef, noodles from a occasional blue lobster meat, and white Alba truffles, foie gras broth. It is also reportedly said that the restaurant needs a 7-day lead time just to make a bowl of this.
Fortess Stilt Fisherman's Indulgence
$ 14,000 or Php 644,000
The Fortress Resort & Spa in Sri Lanka offers its high-rollers a dessert called the Fortess Stilt Fisherman's Indulgence. This $14,000 dessert is made with gold leaf Italian cassata, flavored with fruit-infused Irish cream. There's a fruit compote, a Dom Perignon champagne sabayon at the base and a handmade chocolate carving in the shape of a local stilt fisherman. To top it off, it's adorned with an 80 carat Aquamarine gemstone whose diameter "spans the head of a soup spoon." Uh, nope.
Strawberries Arnaud
$3.9 M
So strawberry is the flavor of what almost $4M dollars taste like. You can eat this dessert at Arnaud's at New Orleans. Co-owner Katy Casbarian reportedly said that the historic New Orleans restaurant partnered years ago with MS Rau antiques on a proposal package that includes their signature Strawberries Arnaud dessert and a diamond ring. Casbarian also shares that this is the restaurant's "worst-selling dessert".
