Luxury Ingredients Make A Pricey Chinese New Year Feast

Filed under: Dining

The ultimate meal for Chinese New Year has been created at the Lao Zhengxing restaurant in the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou. CNN reports that the menu includes lobster cooked eight ways, sharks' fin in a brown sauce, stewed bird's nest sweetened with apricots and braised abalone. The meal costs 198,000 yuan ($24,500) and the price is so high because the owner collected many of the rare ingredients and it will take years to collect them again. They have enough to serve 20 to 24 people but so far there has only been one taker for the banquet.
