World’s Most Expensive Restaurant for Just £1,250 per head



Now you can have a look inside the most world's most expensive restaurant: Levitating food, light shows and waitresses dressed as air stewardesses only for £1,250 per head. The innocuous white door set in an entirely white building on the island of Ibiza. It’s really magic inside that justifies but setting hardly seems for the most expensive restaurant in the world.  This is a new restaurant from two-Michelin star Spanish chef Paco Roncero Spain’s version of experimental chef Heston Blumenthal. Its food is highly enjoyable just like an immersive theatre experience. The owners stand by the charge, and the cost of setting up the restaurant, the quality of the food and the 27 staff for a dozen diners explains the price.  

Furthermore the eatery which seats just twelve people at a time is part of the brand new Hard Rock Hotel, which celebrated its grand opening just done with live performances at its open-air, beachside concert space from disco king Nile Rodgers and garage stars Masters at Work. They claim their taste at Sublimotion will be a work of theatre appealing to everybody of our senses and transporting us to another world. Though few may shudder at the price tag, celebrities and wealthy holidaymakers are already queuing up for bookings. In a tiny room with more than a few artfully-placed boxes and giant nitrogen tank a key ingredient in many of Roncero’s dishes. 

In a flash of opaque window becomes transparent, giving a vivid glimpse of the 27 staff working in the kitchen to make the 20-course meal that is served up over a two-and-a-half hour “performance” in the restaurant. A metal lift with the support of screens, lights and simulators gives the impression of plunging down the below ground as music blares all around. The feelings are just like a Disneyland ride, guests giggling nervously, wondering what on earth comes next. A all white with a white table and padded white chairs, with names are beamed onto the table as place settings. Then 2 waitresses are dressed as air stewardesses, there is a compere who will introduce the dishes and light and laser effects create different worlds to accompany each separate dish.

Roncero wants the precise tricks of the trade to remain a secret, but needless to say, the white surfaces of the room don’t stay white for long as different settings and videos are beamed onto them, creating a backdrop for the plates and other unusual crockery put in front of visitor. Food is served with a flourish and makes own Bloody Mary cocktails using test tubes presented to us in a giant book. The sweet dessert served up on a spinning, levitating plate, which eventually slows down enough to allow eating it. It is just like a food presentation and all wispy nitrogen clouds and bizarre concoctions that mean you don’t know what you’re eating until it is in your mouth, then Roncero to make an appearance dressed as Willy Wonka, the deranged chocolate producer in Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. 

Roncero explains he always wanted to explore diners’ surroundings and complete the meal experience appealing to every one of our senses. The temperature in the room, the humidity and even the smells can be altered to suit each dish, along with the musical accessory. The restaurant is completely booked by millionaire racers from the Gumball Rally, which has just ended its 3,000-mile odyssey across the globe from Miami, via New York, Edinburgh, London, Paris and Barcelona. Is it worth the £1,250 price tag? Spend 10 minutes talking to Roncero and you will say yes. His desire and explanations about the food and how it is prepared are inspirational. He truly is Spain’s Heston Blumenthal. Source: DailyMail

Believe it or Not

Overcoming her natural tendencies, a cat named Niu Niu from Suibin County, China was found by her owner, cat licking and embracing a group of chicks! The chicks were more than happy with their adoptive mother and proceeded to follow her around everywhere. This doesn't surprise at all because a calico cat that let pair of love birds eat and drink from her food and water and they slept perched on her side when she would lay down. There were times she would nudge them away from things as well lol. This is really an awesome, as everyone can learned something through this cat. We can able to overcome their natural tendencies that are im not so sure if they are bringing something useful to our life.

Superb Invisible Barn Mirrors Surrounding The Landscape



In a unified integration of architecture and nature, there’s an Invisible Barn, design by New York design practice STPMJ. Indeed a truly amazing site-specific architectural folly that reflects and merges with the surrounding landscape. It is originally submitted as a proposal to the famous Folly competition, the parallelogram-shaped structure was designed to stand in a dense grove of trees in the Socrates Sculpture Park.
It is purely made by wood and sheeted with mirror film; the barn becomes one with nature, reflecting the surrounding birch trees, blue sky, and signs of the changing seasons. When you see it from a distance, the structure looks almost invisible, erasing its manmade architectural presence. When you’d be approaching the building, however, you can see incisions in the mirrored surface that permit them to maneuver in and out of the structure, adding an exclusive sense of interaction and experience.
The Invisible Barn is meant to re-contextualize the landscape of the park by projecting the surrounding scenery onto the surface of the structure. The visual illusion that blurs the perceptual boundary between the folly and the site permits the folly to be vanished and invisible in nature, reconstructing the landscape of the site.

Vibrant Kaleidosopic Light Paintings Created in Camera



Neon whirls and electric sparks take over these exciting works of art inspired by Dr. Seuss, M.C. Escher, comic books and myriad geometric designs and patterns. It is spellbound by the magical results of a lengthy exposure and the manipulation of several light sources, photographer Jeremy Jackson (aka Tacky) works almost absolutely in light painting. He’s the resident of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, and he makes kaleidoscopic light paintings. Since 2008, Jackson spends most of his time waving lights in front of his camera, shooting on 35mm film as well as digital. All of Jackson's elaborate, kaleidoscopic pictures are constructed in camera without the use of Photoshop, except for an occasional rotation or crop. For this method, light is the brush and the environment is the canvas determined by space and time. Jackson perceives infinite potential in this medium. He proclaims, "The techniques are infinite. The world is at your canvas. Anything you can visualize can be painted in a million different ways. Making his living from workshops on light painting, Jackson makes all his photos easily available for download because he believes that the art itself should be free to the public.

Glow-in-the-Dark Ice Cream Exists — And It's Made Out of Jellyfish

Glow-in-the-dark ice cream is being real but that's not even the weirdest part. Its key ingredient is jellyfish protein, which makes each lick brighter and more luminous. Once the protein extracted from jellyfish reacts with the warm temperature of a tongue, the PH level of the tongue increases to a higher level, reasoning the ice cream to glow. Charlie Francis, a British entrepreneur founded ice-cream company Lick Me I'm Delicious, invented the fluorescent ice cream.

Francis came up with this stunning idea after studying on jellyfish, and he worked with a China scientist to chemically recreate the jellyfish protein in synthetic form. Since jellyfish protein is so expensive, one scoop sells $225. Although; the high value is not disappointing the businesses chefs and customers from trying the gleaming dessert. He said; I grew up on an ice cream farm in the South of Wales, and I have always made ice cream. At Lick Me I'm Delicious, we can make any flavor of ice cream for our clients. Those concerned about eating part of a sea creature famous for its toxic sting will be relieved to be acquainted with that jellyfish protein is safe to eat at least according to Francis. "Is it safe to eat? Well I tried some and I don't seem to be glowing anywhere, so we shall go with a yes for now. 

Famous for its original and sometimes bizarre ice-cream flavors, Lick Me I'm Delicious offers an unusual assortment of choices, including roast beef, horseradish and Yorkshire pudding, lamb and mint, cheddar cheese, dark port and stilto cheese, and raspberry mojito. What's more, the company once created ice cream with a fire extinguisher, and uses a unique ice-cream making device known as the "Ice Cream Pottery Gramophone Machine. He plans to make more unconventional ice-cream flavors in the future, including invisible ice cream and the hottest ice cream in the world.
