Abrakadabra! Food to die for!


So I was watching TV, changing channels here and there when I stumbled upon a nice episode of Masterchef Australia... featuring BOSS OF THE WEEK as Celebrity Chef... Heston Blumenthal!! Heston Who? Heston Abrakadabra Blumenthal!

Abrakadabra! Today you are birds, tomorrow you are soup!
Abrakadabra is definitely the perfect word for him... some other people call him "The Mad Scientist", "The Magician", or "The Culinary Alchemist" I'd prefer to call him "Abrakadabra".

I am no annoying orange, but I speak Mandarin
Why Abrakadabra? You see, he does not become Abrakadabra just because he is a doctorate freakin graduate in culinary science. He becomes abrakadabra because he can transform the juicy fruits above into ...

You got me; I can't speak Mandarin... I'm not even orange you see
Boom! Fruits thy will become meat! Wait what? Yes! The fruits are not fruits... THEY ARE MEAT! Mindblowing! Even the shock was enough to get me up from my bed when watching the episode. Daaamn bro!

Is it tasty? Well I guess so... His restaurant in England, The Fat Duck is lauded as one of the best in the world. Top 5 in the last five years. It has three Michelin Stars (I don't know what it means, but it sounds cool).
And oh yeah, he got a doctorate degree in culinary too... not that it helps. Last but not least, the chef is THE Abra-freakin-kadabra!!

Listening to iPod has never been this hip
Want more? Then behold! Sound of the Sea! Wait what? Yes, the food's name is "Sound of the Sea". It's a bit long, so we'll call it seapod instead.
You buy this dish, and they'll let you borrow their sea-shell ipod to listen to while eating seapod. Why? So it would enhance the tasting pleasure they say... or just to give you an excuse not to listen to your noisy spouse or friends I guess... genius!

Yummy! or Yuck?
What? We're supposed to eat that!? Yuck! What is that?
I know right? Well it turns out it is so yummy, it is called "Legendary Dish" by a lot of food experts. The dish is made of seafood (duh!) and edible seaweed. It is to portray as if you are eating the beach itself.
Magic right? First was eating meat fruits, now it is eating beaches, what sorcery is this!?
(Yes, they say you can eat all that except the sand underneath it... and the glass... and the seapod on that matter.)

But my oh my! Really a blast for the senses!
They say that one customer even fell into tears while eating and listening to the music... either the experience was so mindblowing and beautiful for that woman... or she cried because the food was too expensive for its taste lol.

Sure, I've failed once or twice, don't care! Cuz I'm still 10.000x richer than you baby!!!
But despite all that, Abrakadabra is still human. It is awesome to still see him humbled when presenting his new dishes to revamp "Little Chef" Restaurant as a Celebrity Chef there.
What happened after that? Heard the project failed and Little Chef had to fire a lot of people. But still, we are all human in everything we do. That's why I love Abrakadabra; he is not yet a God hahaha.

How much is it to dine at his restaurant by the way? Only a meager €250 per head, or equivalent to a return Air Asia ticket from Indonesia to any asian countries you desire, or half an iPad, or 36 yummy Stuffed Crust PHD Pizzas.
Wooooh definitely food to die for! Especially if you can't afford it lol

Eat without paying? I'll make a duck soup out of you Mhuahahahahahahaha
