There is nothing more delightful than a cup of coffee with a side of a warm, freshly baked, crispy croissant. Add gold to it and we are golden. Dubai’s Flaky Pastry Croissant Co. offers a decadent masterpiece that is, a: covered with premium tempered milk chocolate, b: filled with smooth milk and dark chocolate ganache, and c: finished with cocoa nibs and edible 24-karat gold. A true indulgence for a special occasion.
6. Cappuccino
When in Dubai, you have to live life extravagantly, and that includes having a cappuccino with 24-karat gold in it. Dubai’s popular hotel Burj Al Arab has “The Ultimate Gold Cappuccino” on their menu which is made using 100 percent Arabica beans mixed with foamed milk which is then blended with 24-karat gold. Costing approximately Rs 1,921, this cup of coffee is all you need if you want to treat yourself to some luxurious indulgence. In fact, the restaurant also offers a “Golden Experience Tour” with Espresso Martinis dusted with 24-karat gold.
7. Sundae
With a cost of $25,000, which is approximately Rs 20.75 lakh, this is one of the most expensive desserts in the world, as noted by the Guinness Book of World Records in 2007. The Frrrozen Haute Chocolate ice cream sundae at Manhattan’s Serendipity3 is made with 5g of edible 23-karat gold and is served in a goblet lined with edible gold. That’s not all. The base of the goblet is an 18-karat gold bracelet with 1 carat of white diamonds. You can eat the dessert with a gold spoon, which, by the way, is decorated with white and chocolate-coloured diamonds that can also be taken home.
