Chapter 223: Rushing Duck!

Standing at the top of the 828-meter tower, looking at the Palm Jumeirah at your feet, shaped like a palm tree, consisting of a trunk and 17 leaves.

The crescent-shaped island forms an 11-kilometer-long breakwater. The presence here will add 78 kilometers of Dubai's coastline.

A thought crossed SC Johnson's mind: Do you want to buy a house?

Forget it, since you have a trip, it doesn't hurt to take a look. Opposite The Palm, ONE PALM luxury apartment building developed and built by local developer Omniyat. Known as the most exclusive place, a mansion in the sky.

The shape is very strange, like a messed up of bookshelves, especially the large terrace that is scattered in a patchwork, which is impressive.

The most expensive sale is 200 million dirhams, 54 million US dollars, about 340 million yuan. An entry-level three-bedroom apartment will also cost $3.25 million, or 20 million yuan.

Standard three-bedroom unit with 301 square meters indoors and 24 square meters outdoors. Johnson turned around and left after reading it, you are not stupid!

This kind of place is not suitable for living at all, it is difficult to drink saliva, turn around and pull down, and have time to lie on Koh Samui and bask in the sun.

Back at the hotel, somewhat disappointed, came to the so-called Samsung Italian restaurant, hoping for a surprise.

Il Ristorante Luca Fintin, an elegant and noble space, with high ceilings, chic crystal lamps and large glass windows, gives a wide view of the restaurant on the 19th floor, and can also be seen in the evening.

Originally from Treviso, Italy, Chef Luca enjoys creating unique and delicate creations with rare ingredients combined with his passion for Italian cuisine and his deep skills.

In particular, I have worked in Pergola in Rome for three stars, Cracco in Milan for two stars, Mugaritz in San Sebastian for two stars, and Tokyo Ryuyin for three stars, which is quite exciting.

If you are looking forward to Italian food, you will be given a few white chocolate balls, and the moment you bite into your mouth, the aroma of Italian Campari and citrus will fill your mouth and instantly awaken your taste buds.

Next up are hors d'oeuvres, tomato and buffalo mozzarella flavoured macarons, rice crackers with Parmesan cheese cream, Italian breadsticks with raw ham foam, and what looks like an olive, but is actually a plant-based gelatin parfait filled with ricketta cheese and squid......

When the appetizer was served, Johnson was a little surprised, hearing that the chef values seasonal ingredients and likes to travel thousands of miles to visit the farm?

Raw puffer fish carpaccio, yellowtail and beetroot and tomato, sea urchin with daylily, scallops in olive oil, fried fish in ink, spinach octopus, saury and cod liver, homemade mullet roe bread......

A series of delicate dots dressed by unique discs, like the epitome of the seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter, the cycle of the four seasons, with unique ingenuity.

Even Italian olive oil, which can be easily imported, is deliberately found locally to accompany the bread. King crab meat stuffed with small white shrimp is served with a soft celery root puree. Dotted with a flower, like a beautiful poem on a plate.

I was lucky enough to receive the first Alba white truffle this year, and the original very tempting risotto was added to the rich aroma of freshly peeled white truffles, which was completely irresistible.

The main course is a rare venison with black truffles and boiled figs. The venison is aged for six weeks under fat to remove unpleasant flavours, leaving only a rich and attractive meaty aroma......

SC Johnson was satisfied, the dish was undoubtedly the culmination, it seemed that all the dishes before it were laid out, and it has to be said that this was the most wonderful venison dish I have tasted so far.

As the waiter pours noble rot from Egan Manor, the silky sweetness of satin lingers on the tip of the tongue, SC Johnson is looking forward to dessert.

Especially Michelin, desserts are the most creative surprises. The first is a small, cute chestnut filled with Italian Piedmontese candied chestnuts, chestnut ice cream, caramel sauce, and meringue. It sounds sweet, but it's just the right bite to eat.

Then there is the pear tart, which combines the traditions of southern and northern Italy: the pear rik tart cheese tart and the caramel pear tart into one.

Ricketta cheese cream, crispy meringue, aromatic pear jam, almond shortbread, and caramel ice cream with temperature changes.

Usually mild pears don't work out well, but the flavor of this dessert is impressive, like a note that lingers in your head after the end of the song......

The most amazing are the parfait made from Hokkaido milk by air, the light milk foam, the aroma and texture of pine nuts, the milk ice made from liquid nitrogen quick-frozen, the freshly shaved Italian Elba white truffle, and the Mexican vanilla-flavored rice paper......

Eat two servings in a row, and the aftertaste is endless!

Back to the room, looking at the night view outside the window, the Burj Al Arab is nothing more than that, accustomed to the blue sea and blue sky, no matter how awesome the artificiality is, it can't compare to the magic of nature.

I decided to go into the desert tomorrow, and I heard that there is Al Maha, known as the leader of the desert hotel. Owned by local giant Emirates Airlines and managed by Marriott International's Luxury Collection, we are looking forward to tomorrow's trip.

The next day, I took a helicopter and came to the Southeast Desert Reserve, overlooking from a high altitude, the endless desert is desolate and simple, and has a unique flavor.

Instead, when I went to the hotel, I found that in order to prevent the impact of blowing sand, the hotel is surrounded by a lot of greenery, and 42 Bedouin-style tented villas are scattered all over the sand dunes, which perfectly interprets the meaning of traditional Arabian and luxury living.

The Emirates Villa features a private temperature-controlled pool, sun deck, spacious bedroom and spacious bathroom with soaking tub. Through the window, you can see the desert scenery at a glance.

SC Johnson couldn't help but jump into the pool, feel the wonderful contrast between the scorching sun above his head and the cold on his body, and soak in the water to enjoy the magical scene of the little green hill with the yellow sand stretching......

Al Maha means antelope, and even the hotel logo is an antelope. Home to Arabian oryx and gazelles, it welcomes a large number of wildlife enthusiasts every year.

The little ones who are full of secrets are bouncing around, and the big ones who are full of wild are very aggressive, so it's better to enjoy them quietly.

The main reasons for choosing this place are the highlights, such as early morning falconry, camel rides, dune drives, wildlife watching or nature walks, and the most anticipated hot air balloon ride.

In the afternoon, take a modified off-road vehicle and deflate the tires before departure, which can increase the contact area and make the vehicle not easy to sink into the sand.

The driver is also ruthless, without saying a word, he directly stepped on the accelerator to the end, and the engine roared, like a beast, rushing into the depths of the vast desert.

SC Johnson is strapped to a harness and grips the handlebars with both hands as he navigates the undulating sand dunes.

Accelerating from the lowest part of the dune, the slope increases as the altitude increases, reaching the top almost 90° perpendicular to the ground.

There was a deafening roar in my ears, and there was splashing yellow sand everywhere, as if a wild beast was struggling in a mire, and then it was a rapid swoop, like a roller coaster!
