The World's Most Expensive Dessert

A dessert is a type of food that is eaten after lunch or dinner. It is usually a sweet food, like ice cream, cookies, and cakes. In some countries, cheeses such as Brie cheese and fruit are served as dessert. Some desserts are decorated, like birthday cakes. Others are simple, like pudding. Many desserts are baked (cooked in an oven). Some desserts are served with whipped cream as a topping...

This is it.... 10 kinds of expensive dessert in the world...

1. GODIVA CHOCOLATE


       Godiva originated from one of the country known for chocolate products, Belgium.Manufacturers of chocolate Godiva Chocolatier introduces a new collection ofchocolate, "G". The entire collection of memorabilia from the "G" is composed of various ingredients and flavors such as pallets d'Or, Tasmanian honey and Mexican hot chocolate. Flavor of chocolate depends on the type of demand rather great priceonly $ 117 per pound.

2. STRAWBERRIES ARNAUND


              We certainly know that the recipe Strawberries Arnaud is strawberry ice cream, withlemon and red wine. But the strawberry at Arnaud restaurant in News Orleans, United States, not just a regular piece of fruit. The difference is in the topping, a 4.7 caratpink diamond ring that once belonged to Sir Ernest Cassel, the only one in the world.This food prices? 14 Billion Euro, why? because in addition to exclusive ring before,strawberry drinks are also served with Charles X Crystal worth 250 million rupiah perbottle.

3. FROZEN HAUTE CHOCOLATE 



This one is for all those of you who cannot resist a deliciously blended scoop of cold delight.

The Frozen Haute Chocolate, (right) made by New York City eatery, Serendipity 3 and priced at a mind-blowing $25,000 has claimed a spot in the Guiness World Records as The World’s Most Expensive Dessert.

Made from a blend of 28 cocoas from across the world, this decadent delicacy is infused with five grams of edible 23-karat gold and served in a goblet lined with edible gold. Serendipity 3 teamed up with jeweler Euphoria New York to create this amazing dessert.

Healthy Food vs Junk Food

           What makes an apple healthier than a donut? What really is the difference between a food that builds health, and one that doesn't? It's an important distinction, since many children today consume over half their diet as highly processed, empty calorie foods. And not just at home, but even from junk food in school.

Is healthy food more expensive than junk food??
I don't think so... 


In my place, you can find you can find a variety of healthy foods and cheap. Example is tempe, tempe is arguably the national dish in Indonesia. Almost everyone here had to eat tempe. In fact, already many people from overseas who learned about how to make tempe.they may be curious why Tempe is favored by the Indonesian population. And more importantly, the nutrients in Tempe is very important especially from soy protein.



Tempe foods are often found at home or in the stalls, as a complement to the dish turned out to have the content and digestibility values ​​better than soy. Therefore, tempe is very good to be given to all age groups (from infants to the elderly), so that could be called the food of all ages.

10 Benefits of Tempe:
  1. Proteins contained in tempeh is very high, easy to digest, so good for diarrhea.
  2. Contains iron, which are antioxidants flafoid thus lowering blood pressure.
  3. Containing superoxide desmutase that can control free radicals, good for heart patients.
  4. Countermeasures anemia. Anemia characterized by low hemoglobin levels due to lack of available iron (Fe), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), protein, folic acid and vitamin B12, in which the elements are contained in tempeh.
  5. Anti-infection. The survey results showed that tempeh contain antibacterial compounds produced by corals tempe (R. oligosporus) is an antibiotic that is useful to minimize the incidence of infection.
  6. Hipokolesterol power. Polyunsaturated fatty acid content in tempeh is able to lower cholesterol levels.
  7. Have anti-oxidant properties, resist cancer.
  8. Prevent multiple nutritional problems (due to shortage and excess nutrients) along with various diseases that accompany it, either infectious or degenerative.
  9. Preventing the onset of hypertension.

All About "RENDANG", NASI GORENG, and SATAY"




RENDANG is a dish which originated from the Minangkabau ethnic group of Indonesia, and is now commonly served across the country. One of the characteristic foods of Minangkabau culture, it is served at ceremonial occasions and to honour guests. Rendang is hot/spicy food, and u can found it in "RUMAH MAKAN PADANG".


Rendang is made from beef (or occasionally beef liver, chicken, mutton, water buffalo, duck, or vegetables like jackfruit or cassava) slowly cooked in coconut milk, spices and sometimes kerisik (toasted coconut paste) for several hours until almost all the liquid is gone, allowing the meat to absorb the spicy condiments. The cooking process changes from boiling to frying as the liquid evaporates. The slow cooking process allows the meat to absorb all the spices and to become tender. The spices may include ginger, galangal, turmeric leaf,lemon grass and chillies. Chicken or duck rendang also contains tamarind and is usually not cooked for as long as beef rendang.











NASI GORENG, literally meaning "fried rice" in Indonesian, can refer simply to fried pre-cooked rice, a meal including stir fried rice in small amount of cooking oil or margarine, typically spiced with kecap manis (sweet soy sauce), shallot, garlic, tamarind and chilli and accompanied with other ingredients, particularly egg, chicken and prawns. There is also another kind of nasi goreng which is made with ikan asin (salted dried fish) which is also popular across the country.


Nasi goreng is considered the national dish of Indonesia. There are many Indonesian cuisines but few national dishes. Indonesia's national dish knows no social barriers. It can be enjoyed in its simplest manifestation from a tin plate at a roadside warung, travelling night hawker's cart; eaten on porcelain in restaurants, or constructed at the buffet tables of Jakarta dinner parties.









SATAY, is the oriental cuisine and originated in Indonesia. Almost anywhere in this country, especially in Java n Bali Island, u can find "WARUNG SATE", where it has become a national dish. . I think satay is the best food that everybody can eat it. It is also popular in many other Southeast Asian countries

Satay is a very popular delicacy in Indonesia; Indonesia's diverse ethnic groups' culinary arts have produced a wide variety of satays. In Indonesia, satay can be obtained from a travelling satay vendor, from a street-side tent-restaurant, in an upper-class restaurant, or during traditional celebration feasts.


The Best Food in The World



TWO months ago, rendang entered the order of the world's 11 best food CNNGo version of the site. Now, rendang be the first rank of the top 50 list of the best food in the world.

Rendang quickly shot up to the first position to beat the food of Thailand, massamancurry, which previously occupied the first rank.

Rendang Indonesian food also beat the other, which is fried rice which was second. It is unfortunate because satay doesn't follow the footsteps of rendang and fried rice, which made ​​it into the top 10 top 50 best food in the world. Sate ranks only 14th.

Here is a list of 50 best food in the world.

Tourism Site that U Must Be Visited

I have a dream that someday i can visit  beautiful place in the world. Trips can escape momentarily from the exhausting routine of office. So, i recommended to u some tourism place that you must be visited.

1. Jeju island in South korea


          Probably, u have been known about jeju island from korean drama like jang geum. Many years ago, Jeju island is a place to isolated prisoner in Kingdom era. But now, Jeju island is a world heritage site. This beautiful island has much to offer tourist with magnificient scenery, theme park, beaches, etc. Furthermore, Jeju island is a very popular Korean honeymoon destination...



Seongsan Llchulbong-Eastern Jeju island - A hike up Seongsan Llchulbong is is well worth while with views of the crater, the surrounding coastline and islands. Unusual because it was created by an underwater explosion, it has a well formed path. It is a climb for those with a reasonable level of fitness, although I found by taking it slowly there were plenty of resting places to take in the views, take photos and enjoy the experience. It is particularly popular with people timing their visit to watch either the sunrise or sunset.




Mt Sanbang-Western Jeju Island
- Great views are had from the top of this mountain. Near the top is a cave the monks used to pray in.

Now, i will present to you the best place in south korea, i think ^^......
This place is used to be "Winter Sonata-Filming Locations". I hope i can enjoy this place with my soulmate in the future. That's so romantic....




2. Wonderful Place in Japan




Mount Fuji - If u travel to japan, dont forget to visit one of the best mountain, called Mount Fuji is located in the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park. This mountain is home of many Shinto Shrines, Buddhist temple and torri gate. You can haking in his place, and camping in the summer to watch the beautiful sunrise. Mount Fuji is surrounded by five lake that are not less beautiful is Lake Kawaguchiko, Lake Yamanakako, Lake-Saiko, Lake Motosuko, and Lake Shojiko.


Himeji-Jo-Osaka - is the oldest castle in Japan that is still original. Everything old here is made out of wood, so it's pretty unusual for structure to last many centuries. This castle was rebuilt three or four times since then, in the original style or even at 2/3 size (which happens quite a bit, actually). But this castle isn't a reproduction. Its been standing as is since the early 17th centurry. Its very beautiful an has been the backdrop for many movies.
if u can visit japan, u must remember to watch the most famous sport in japan, SUMO.
