$1000 ice-cream!


World’s Most Expensive Ice-Cream.

 
    Would you spare a $1000 to eat a small dessert?  The point is, is there such desserts that cost a $1000? Well, with 5 scoops of high quality Tahitian vanilla bean ice-cream infuse with the Madagascar’s vanilla ice-cream creates a fine indulgence of $1000 ( RM 3042.00) Grand Opulence Sundae, which was recently nominated as the World Most Expensive Ice-Cream.   The Grand Opulence Sundae isn’t served casually, but it is canopied in a 23K edible gold leaf and drizzled heavenly with Amedei Porceleana ;  the world’s most  expensive plain chocolate made by the Amedei candy company in Tuscany, Italy.  The Amedei Porceleana is covered with chunks of rare Chuao chocolate. Later on, the ice-cream is wrapped once again with exotic candied fruits all the way from Paris, gold dragnets, truffles and the famous Marzipan Cherries. To sweeten the ice-cream, fresh passion fruit, orange and Armagnac (a kind of  Brazil wine) are added. Finally, the ice-cream will be topped with a tiny bowl of Grand Passion Caviar, famously known for its gold sparkles. It’s worth the $1000 for the paradise taste! But then, as we are about to enjoy our dessert, the eldery will always remind us, “Ice-cream is bad for your health!”, “Ice-creams do nothing but fatten!”. So is it true ice-cream brings more benefits than harm? Ice-cream really helps in melting the fats away as calcium itself is a slimming agent. Ice-cream contains high amount of calcium. A low diet in calcium helps nothing but triggers more fat. Besides, calcium in ice-cream helps to control blood pressure, reduces the risk of colon cancer and chances of developing kidney stones is low. In addition, ice-cream, vanilla flavoured, is the best to be taken after a tonsil is removed. Ice-cream is believed to sooth our throat. This is because the ice-cream is a soft and chilling food. And for those Vanilla ice-cream lovers, vanilla serves the best medical benefits because of its seed which is one of the most expensive spices.  Vanilla itself helps to ease a queasy stomach and reduces the risk of breast cancer. The vanillin in vanilla helps in inhibiting the development and growth of diseased cells in healthy breast tissue. Besides, vanilla helps in neutralizing damaged free radicals and it could strengthen our skin against dryness. So don’t worry about eating vanilla ice-cream!
So go ahead and eat ice cream from time to time, as long as you don't overload on sugar and saturated fat.
