Salt Bae

<p>For many of us Malaysians, we can&rsquo;t really live without food. There&rsquo;s no doubt that if you were to have the weekend lepak sessions with your friends, the #1 question would always be &ldquo;where to eat?&rdquo; and you know it&rsquo;s true.</p>
<p>But unlike some people in the world, we always tend to tell our friends that we should go to a mamak cause we are too broke. Why are we broke? Cause...</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p>If we had the cash, there&rsquo;s no doubt that we&rsquo;ll splurge some cash on good food and that&rsquo;s what exactly what one customer did at Nusret G&ouml;k&ccedil;e AKA Salt Bae&rsquo;s restaurant.</p>
<p>If you don&rsquo;t know who&rsquo;s Salt Bae, he&rsquo;s a TikTok star who gained internet fame for how he cuts his meats and later sprinkles salt onto them.</p>

<p><strong>Whopping RM766K Bill!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/137d70552b514e701b4020284d7a3872cd3a0f3fc81a412e813b3d3f5941e481" /></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p>Of the restaurants out there, Salt Bae&rsquo;s Nusr-Et is very well known for his famous stakes. In fact, one of his steaks alone can cost up to RM10K! This is only one steak but what if you were to go over to the restaurant with family or friends to have a proper full meal there?</p>
<p>Well feast your eyes as Salt Bae himself had caught the attention of many on social media over someone&rsquo;s bill which was worth RM766K. He captioned his post saying &ldquo;Quality never expensive&rdquo; and this got the attention of many netizens online and not the good kind.</p>
<p>Netizens were fuming when they saw the price of the food at the restaurant and they were looking at it in detail to see how much the food and drinks cost. Some of the most shocking discoveries was the price of 9 Still Water had cost a whopping RM500.59 (~RM55.61 each).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/b5a38337336fbbf83e4560feab6dc6bbd85cc74779cbfc59be18ecc74339fd57" alt=" From left: The Beef Carpaccio, the Golden Ottoman and Golden Baklava" width="660" height="237" /><br /><span style="font-size: 11px;"><em>From left: The Beef Carpaccio, the Golden Ottoman and Golden Baklava</em></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Meanwhile on the food end, 5 Beef Carpaccio had cost RM1,488.22 (~RM297.64 each) and 2 gold coated steak dubbed as the Golden Ottoman had cost RM6,798 (~RM3,399 each). Even a nice sweet dish like Baklava is coated in gold at his restaurant which costs RM482 each.</p>
<p>On the other hand, if you noticed that there&rsquo;s two items called Petrus on the bill, that&rsquo;s actually a wine and those 7 bottles of wine alone had cost a total of RM648,692 which made up majority of the price for the bill.</p>
<p><strong>Here&rsquo;s the comments from netizens online:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/1b8cd31ef3b7cf63370813489e66331766aa19a437c8720c06a206817649cf73" /></strong></p>
<p><strong>Speculations Of Who&rsquo;s Bill It Was</strong></p>
<p>Since this bill was posted on the same time as the Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend, many speculated that the bill belonged to the Formula 1 drivers who threw a farewell dinner for 4-Time World Champion Sebastian Vettel who announced his retirement back in July 2022.</p>
<p><img src="https://r2.myc.my/73856e8dc7880e04ecb34d3733a072cdce22f078394966d315439a7793f494e9" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>But judging by the pictures posted by the drivers on their social media, the reports claiming that the bill was from the F1 drivers turned out to be fake. After a bit of digging around, the drivers had actually had their farewell dinner at Michelin-starred restaurant Hakkasan Abu Dhabi which is located at Emirates Palace which offers a private seating area and a really great view of the city right outside along the terrace.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/2ed55c3f8a7de8f42b664c9ab6289f5f0697e8975ee76f18c74eeebb54e9b26f" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The bill was paid by 7-Time World Champion Sir Lewis Hamilton who also left a heartfelt message for Vettel despite being long-time rivals.</p>
