Ever wondered how it is to eat at a two-Michelin starred restaurant? A woman documented her five-hour, $700 dining experience at Copenhagen’s two-Michelin-starred Alchemist restaurant and it is not for the faint-hearted.
The elaborate menu featured edible butterflies, lamb brain mousse, jellyfish and chocolate shaped like a coffin and blood drop dessert, as per the video shared by her on social media which has since gone viral.
“Everything I ate at my 5-hour, $700, 2 Michelin-star dinner at Alchemist Copenhagen, Denmark," read the text overlay on the video.
In the clip, the woman shared all the dishes she ate. The dinner began with crunchy oxidised apple juice followed by appetisers including a puffed gluten ball topped with langoustine, caviar and cream. After this were edible butterflies presented on nettle leaves.
“Our server explained that the butterflies were farmed, highlighting the potential use of insects as sustainable protein sources," she said.
Then fluffy dumplings with a cotton candy-like texture, a delicate jellyfish dish in herb broth and an eye-shaped gel inspired by George Orwell’s 1984, filled with caviar and razor clams, were next on the menu.
She said, “I had caviar on top of freeze-dried soy sauce that just melted in my mouth. This soft-pointed oval was their version of an omelet filled with a rich mix of egg, cheese and truffle. The next dish was a fried, mocha ball stuffed with gooey cheese and ham. The last bite in the lounge was a cold meringue with buckthorn marmalade inside."
“We also had chicken feet presented in a small cage, symbolising the inhumane conditions of caged farming. After that, a deboned chicken foot that was served with a fragrant Tom Yum broth," she said.
The dessert included a blood-drop treat made from pig and deer’s blood. “It had a slightly metallic taste," she said.
