A RARE chance to dine with world-famous Spanish restaurateur Ferran Adria sold for HK$180,000 (US$23,200) at an auction yesterday.
Bidding started at HK$5,000 for the meal with Adria, cited as the planet's most talented and imaginative chef.
His now-closed restaurant elBulli was rated the world's best five times by British magazine The Restaurant.
An online bidder beat out four others at the Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong.
The winner gets the chance to dine with Adria and his brother in a restaurant in Barcelona and visit the premises of the elBulli restaurant, in Catalonia, Spain.
Another ticket to the dinner will be auctioned off April 26 in New York.
"Everybody knew there was just one chance to get this lot of spending time with the great chef Ferran Adria, in his hometown of Barcelona.
"And this will probably never happen again," said Serena Sutcliffe, international head of wine at Sotheby's.
