The World's Most Expensive...
DESSERT
Located at Serendipity III, a popular restaurant in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, this dessert called "Frrozen Haute Chocolate" is a a US$25,000 chocolate sundae.
It is made from a blend of 28 cocoas from all around the world and is infused with five grams of edible 23-karat gold and served in a goblet lined with edible gold. It is topped with whipped cream, more gold and a side of La Madeline au Truffle (see world's most expensive chocolate) from Knipschildt Chocolatier, which sells for $2,600 a pound. It even comes with souvenirs, an 18K gold bracelet with a carat's worth of diamonds that rests at the base of the goblet and a gold spoon set with white and chocolate-colored diamonds.

Looks super good right! Would you spend this much though? Perhaps if I was rich, I could very well afford this everyday! Oh well, at least it won't be a complete waste of money because you canat least keep the gold bracelet!XD
CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE
Chocopologie by Knipschildt is apparently not only the most expensive chocolate in the world, but also the tastiest! Knipschildt's La Madeline au Truffe was recognized by Forbes Magazine as the most expensive chocolate in the world.
"La Madeline au Truffe starts with a decadent 70% Valrhona dark chocolate, heavy cream, sugar, truffle oil and vanilla as the base for the rich decadent ganache. A rare French Perigord truffle (a rare mushroom) is then surrounded by this rich decadent ganache; it is enrobed in Valrhona dark chocolate and then rolled in fine cocoa powder. The result is pure extravagance! Lying on a bed of sugar pearls in a silver box tied with a ribbon."
Price: US$2,600 a pound!!
I loveeee chocolate truffles and I would definitely want to try this at least once in my lifetime. A nibble will also do! XD I've been trying to make some homemade truffles lately and maybe someday (in my dreams), I may be the next one to come up with the world's most expensive truffle!! haha!
WATER
Kona Nigari is a seawater mineral concentrate mixed with regular water and it is said to be high in minerals and believed free of modern contaminents. It comes from 2,000 feet down off the coast of Hawaii, and it's bottled by Hawaii Deep Marine.
Price: US$33.50 For 2 Ounces
Seriously, no way am I going to pay this much for water! Apparently, the Japanese are going crazy over this and have been importing it to Japan. As much as I love Japan and its people, they are really too extreme most of the times. Well then, let's have a look at the world's most expensive water!
CAVIAR
Caviar, as we all know has been an expensive delicacy for the rich and famous, but did you know that the black caviar isn't the most expensive? The most expensive caviar is the Almas (Russian for diamond) Iranian Caviar.
This beluga caviar is white in appearance and comes from a fish which is over 100 years old. The beluga is believed to have remained unchanged for the last 120 million years. It is one of the oldest and most amazing survivors of the Dinosaur Era. It is the largest and only predator in the sturgeon family. It is so rare a fish that the annual catch does not exceed 100 units.
Price: $23,308 per 32oz
I bet this tastes heavenly! ~~ oh and btw I forgot to mention that the tin is made out of gold as well.
SANDWICH
The "von Essen Platinum Club Sandwich" can be found at the Cliveden House hotel in Taplow, Berkshire.
The most expensive club sandwich is proudly made of Iberico ham, poulet de Bresse, white truffles, quail eggs, semi-dried Italian tomatoes and 24-hour fermented sour dough bread, and weighs 530 grams.
Price: £100
