A Macau casino mogul has paid 130,000 for an Italian white truffle weighing 2 pounds. [It seems the gaming industry is not suffering from the credit crunch.]
Perhaps it's down to timezones

OMG This is well spooky
Honestly - true story: I was out to Macau last month for CAC and went to dinner at an Italian restuarant (at the Wynn) with one of the casino owners accredited here. The restuarant asked me if I wanted truffle on my pizza and not knowing really what it was I said yes, as did a couple of the others with me. And the bill? For the truffle scraping alone: exactly 130 LOL.
Macau - Italian restaurant - casino owner - truffle - 130 (000)!!
Now thats just plain weird - or a wildly distorted story!!
The truffle literally doubled the entire bill.
