With Valentine’s Day coming up, there is no doubt that there are some expensive meals on the menu. If your appetite is enormous and you have a bank account to match, then maybe this 10-course gourmet meal served on February 10, 2007 is for you.

The Dome Restaurant in Bankok, Thailand served up what was billed as the most expensive meal ever sold this past weekend. The six chefs who prepared this expensive meal were flown in from France, Germany and Italy. Similarly, the ingredients they used were also flown in from all over the world. As for the guest-list, it was made up of 15 people, mostly real estate and gaming moguls from Across Asia and the United States. The cost of the most expensive meal was about $30,000, not including tax and tip.

The expensive meal’s wine list certainly fit the bill. It was estimated that the wine list totaled around $200,000 and included a rare Rothschild estate wine. Fine champagne was also available. When guest Sophiane Foster was asked how she was enjoying the meal she was quoted during her eighth course, saying: “I can’t finish it. Your senses can only take so much.”

    This is definitely expensive but I could have sworn I saw something recently about a Indonesian or Arab royalty that had a $130k fish served for dinner.

    And Jesus fed the multitude with a boy’s big lunch of three fish and 5 loaves of bread? So for that much no doubt you could divide it by 5,000 a couple of times or maybe more, and still get a decent lunch.
