Selling price is $25,000. If you want just a taste of it, then a smaller tin is sold for $1,250.

3. Yubari King Melons – $22,872

These are not the ordinary cantaloupes that you can find in the supermarket. The orange-fleshed Yubari King melons are coveted because of its proportion and sweetness.

To top it all, there are 24-carat gold flakes. They are not to be taken home, however, as they are edible.

The result is the thousand dollar omelette, or as the restaurant has advertised it, the zillion dollar lobster frittata. A scaled-down version features only 10 percent of the caviar.
