Food That Billionaires Eat

億萬富翁的美食!

1、巨大的意大利白松露。一塊重達1.5千克的意大利白松露菌在中國澳門拍賣。澳門知名人士何鴻33萬美元競得這塊稀世珍品。松露是一種天然真菌類植物,與香檳、魚子醬同被譽為世界三大珍味。它生長在地下,不易被人發覺,加上出產地不多,因此相當名貴。
2、阿爾馬斯魚子醬。這魚子醬是白色的,來自超過100歲的白鱘魚。可能需要長達20年的時間達到成熟。所以同等質量的魚子醬價格超過了同等質量的黃金價格。

3、日本北海道夕張甜瓜是一個非常昂貴的日本甜瓜。價格從600015000日元左右,最高的拍賣價出現於2008年的2萬美元。

4Dansuke西瓜,黑色型西瓜只有在日本北部島嶼北海道的成長,由於極其罕見所以通常只作為禮物。據美聯社報道,「巨型黑西瓜在日本拍賣會在上週五創造了6100美元的高價,成為有史以來最昂貴的西瓜之。」

5、皇家比007最高拍賣紀錄出現與20061119 日,價格在2,150英鎊。莫雷利是來自羅馬的慈善美食家,喜好收集高檔葡萄酒和塊菌。這塊最昂貴的披薩已經稱為吉尼斯世界紀錄的保持者。

6瑟蒙德裡咖喱龍蝦。世界上最昂貴的咖喱gold.The與海洋瑰寶的Samundari Khazana組合做成的。

7、和牛排 。為了保證和牛牛排的肉質,在飼養時會定時給牛播放一些旋律優美的輕音樂,給它們喂一些低酒精的啤酒。每天用乾草或毛刷,為牛只刷身按摩,令脂肪平均分佈全身。按摩時在牛的毛皮上塗一層燒酒,以促進血液循環。這些方法可以令牛的皮下脂肪均勻分佈,肉質細膩,紋理清晰,吃起來有柔而不膩的口感。如此精心的飼養價格自然十分昂貴。而且日本人有個傳統,好的東西一律留在國內供國民消費,因而像黑毛和牛肉這種國寶級的食材一般是不出口的。不過近年來,日本政府逐漸放開了黑毛和牛的出口,在中國也能品嚐到這種美味了。

8Chocopologie巧克力。世界上最鮮美的和最昂貴的巧克力Chocopologie。它是由美國Knipschildt Chocolatier公司生產的。這是一種黑巧克力(dark chocolate),保存時間短。這種巧克力的價格為一盎司2600美元。

9、魚子醬煎蛋。這道最昂貴的煎蛋出現在紐約,龍蝦,煎蛋與魚子醬的組合價格1000美元。

10、松蘑菇。主要在亞洲,歐洲和北美的增長。它是日本料理的重要因素。由於松是很難收穫,因此價格是非常高的。在本賽季開始,這是日本最高等級松,可以高達每公斤2,000元。相反,對進口松的平均價值約為每公斤90

Healing Miracle For Burn‏


A young man sprinkling his lawn and bushes with pesticides wanted to check the contents of the barrel to see how much pesticide remained in it. He raised the cover and lit his lighter; the vapours ignited and engulfed him. He jumped from his truck, screaming. His neighbour came out of her house with a dozen eggs and a bowl yelling, "Bring me some more eggs!"

She broke them, separating the whites from the yolks.
The neighbour woman helped her to apply the whites onto the young man's face.
When the ambulance arrived and the EMTs saw the young man, they asked who had done this. Everyone pointed to the lady in charge.
They congratulated her and said, "You have saved his face."
By the end of the summer, the young man brought the lady a bouquet of roses to thank her. His face was like a baby's skin.

A Healing Miracle for Burns:


Keep in mind this treatment of burns is being included in teaching beginner fireman. First Aid consists of first spraying cold water on the affected area until the heat is reduced which stops the continued burning of all layers of the skin. Then, spread the egg whites onto the affected area.
One woman burned a large part of her hand with boiling water. In spite of the pain, she ran cold tap water on her hand, separated 2 egg whites from the yolks, beat them slightly and dipped her hand in the solution. The whites then dried and formed a protective layer. She later learned that the egg white is a natural collagen and continued during at least one hour to apply layer upon layer of beaten egg white. By afternoon she no longer felt any pain and the next day there was hardly a trace of the burn. 10 days later, no trace was left at all and her skin had regained its normal colour. The burned area was totally regenerated thanks to the collagen in the egg whites, a placenta full of vitamins.

Life Is Fragile

Received a shocking news today that one of my friends has passed away yesterday. He suffered a heart attack while driving on his way to play our regular Tuesday badminton session. His car crashed into a tree. In fact I just received a call from him 2 weeks ago wishing me all the best to my new life in Perth. This goes to show what drastic events can occur in such a short period of time. 
 
Everybody compete against against each other on a daily basis to survive and have a better life. Most people think that if I work hard now, I will be able to relax and enjoy at a later part of their life. However, we never know what might happen to us next week, tomorrow or even 1 hour later! Life is indeed fragile. Cherish every moment my friends...

Start A New Life In A Foreign Land

Isn't it a fantastic idea to migrate to a foreign country and start a new life? Most people will have this same intention especially when they feel that their future in their home country is bleak. The idea does sound great especially when you think that you will be treated equally, have greater opportunity and better quality of life in your new found home. 

However, when you actually take action and start your new life in a foreign land, you have to be mentally prepared for challenges and hardships initially. After all everything has to begin from zero again. You need to adapt to the new climate, culture, lifestyle and work environment. You also have to start establishing your new social network from scratch.   

The top 2 challenges you will be facing when migrating to a new country is to find a job and a place to stay. You could send hundreds of job application online but you won't be getting anywhere unless anyone respond to you. It is indeed tough especially when you know no one in this new land and hard to get a reference from anybody. It is the same when looking for a place to stay; the landlord or real estate agent will only entertain you if you have reference. This almost become mission impossible when you know no one in this place!

Nobody would ever want to leave their home; the place where you were born and grew up in. You will always be emotionally attached to your home no matter where you go. Everybody thought that migration is an enjoyment of life but in actual fact it is one of the greatest sacrifice one can ever make in life.
