Some folks need their heads read: apparently you can now treat yourself to sushi at a cost of $2,750. “Why so pricey?” I hear my local Ocean Basket branch whine. Well, good Sirs, it’s due mainly (okay, it’s due pretty much TOTALLY) to it being covered in gold and diamonds.
Take a look:
BornRich.org described it like this:
For those rich food fanatics who like to savor the most expensive foods and delicacies known to the man, next on the list is world’s most expensive sushi made by Filipino chef Angelito Araneta Jr. What makes this plate of sushi consisting of five pieces the most expensive is not the fish, but the garnishing in gold leaves and diamonds. The sushi is garnished with .20-carat African diamonds and wrapped with 24-karat gold leaves and is available in a restaurant in Manila for $2,750.
All I can say about this is: “Why? WTF is the point of covering your chow in gold and diamonds?” Pretentious knobs, the lot of ‘em!

I’ll be sure to give this self-indulgent stuff the attention it deserves as I munch on my Marmite-on-toast I’m planning on feasting on tonight.
i know him personally, he’s gorgeous in person! =) ive seen him once in a bar in punta fuego, i never thought it was his just until now. this sushi looks awfull in here with fake crabmeats but he has this sushi one time valued at 194,999.00 pesos (approx USD 4,333) (he loves 999 prices) he said a client ordered it for marriage proposal way back April this year 2010. he said it has this gold caviar from a hundred year old fish and he has this 300 year-old vinegar from italy, one of his rare collections he also put a few drops in the sushi. i dont remember what other ingredients he added but these two caught my attention because of the ages of the ingredients. i hope my partner gives one of these things to me as well.

for what i know this is not the most expensive sushi he’s ever made; this is a cheap-stake compared to the one ordered by a celebrity in our country; the Sushi Del Oriente price approx US$4,200
