7. AnQi Pho Soup – $5,800
AnQi Pho is a traditional Vietnamese soup. But this one is an exception. One bowl of this dish was auctioned at the Bash Benefactor Dinner and sold at $5,800. The money gained from AnQi Pho soup auction went to the benefit of the Children’s Hospitals of Los Angeles and Orange County as well as the UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital. Good food for good purpose.
With this bowl of AnQi Pho soup, your tongue will be spoiled by long thin strands of noodles. They are so soft and slippery that you don’t have to chew them. However, you might want to chew them to taste them better because they are made from rare blue lobster meat.
On top of that, the assorted beef are made from high quality (A5) Wagyu beef which takes days to prepare. Not to mention the tasty Vietnamese foie gras broth. All together in one bowl mixed with white Alba truffles. Don’t tell me that didn’t make your mouth water!
If you want to taste this gastronomic luxury of Vietnamese food, you can visit Tiato, a Vietnamese café. The AnQi Pho is on the permanent menu at the Crustacean for the benefit of the Children’s Hospital.
