LET IT BREATHE<br />
Make drinking wine an event with a decanter. We can’t go past<br />
the elegant collections produced by Riedel, as each piece is<br />
handmade from crystal and often features something completely<br />
different from the norm. Take the Ayam Magnum for example.<br />
This limited-edition rooster-inspired design means it’s not only<br />
impressive to the eye, but also does its job – allowing young<br />
wine to open up – all for a cool $1200.<br />
MYSTERY DINING<br />
In Shanghai, UltraViolet by Paul Pairet has a table, 10 chairs and<br />
white walls. The environment is then brought to life with lights,<br />
projectors, sound, scent, and temperature via an air-blown<br />
turbine. The 20-course ‘avant-garde’ set menu is served to all<br />
guests, no matter if you have joined as one diner or a group,<br />
and the price point starts at 4000RMB (NZD$850) per person.<br />
Adding to the mystery is the fact we don’t know the restaurant’s<br />
exact location. Diners congregate at a set meeting point and are<br />
led to the destination together.<br />
BEEF IT UP<br />
Tokyo’s Aragawa is not known for its décor, but for its beef.<br />
Ranked among the most expensive restaurants in the world, it is<br />
the place in which master chefs have been perfecting the art of<br />
10-stage broiling for decades. Think wagyu beef, but from cow<br />
royalty. The charcoal-broiled steak is flavoured only with salt and<br />
pepper, and can set you back as much as NZD$500.<br />
