BBC Travel has compiled a list of the world's most expensive dishes, and you should be a millionaire to be able to devour these foods.
At 3676 dirhams, or 957 dollars, the Golden Phoenix Cupcake made by Dubai's Bloomsbury's cafe is at the top of the list.
The world's most expensive cupcake is made from 23-carat edible gold sheets, organic strawberries and plenty of edible gold dusting, News.com.au reported.
Those in Dubai can also drop in at the famous Burj Al Arab hotel and taste its famous '27.321' cocktail.
Costing 27,321 dirhams, or 7120 dollars, the drink is named after the hotel floor its served on and its height, and includes 55-year-old Macallan single malt natural colour whisky from Scotland.
For people with sweat tongue, they can fly to New York's Serendipity 3 and treat themselves with Frrrozen Haute Chocolate, but then it will set you back 18,713 dollars or 17,913 dollars.
This has 28 different kinds of cocoa and is also served with an 18-carat gold and diamond bracelet.
If you still find it expensive, try its Le Burger Extravagant made with Japanese waygu beef, infused with 10-herb white truffle butter, and only costing 293 dollars (US) or 280 dollars.
Others on the list include Sushi Del Oriente - nigiri sushi wrapped in 24-carat gold leaves and five 0.20-carat African diamonds - served up by celeb chef Angelito Araneta Jr of Karat Chef.
