CAVIAR HOUSE & PRUNIER SEAFOOD BAR 
Hongkong International Airport, Hongkong
For the individuals with an acquired taste, HKIA has a bar that serves only from a platinum selection of fine wines and spirits. Caviar House & Prunier Seafood Bar also serves a range of premium seafood items that are prepared on the spot. You can easily get a set of raw salmon or king crab legs. The interesting point about this bar is that if they do not serve a specific salmon dish within 15 minutes, the dish will be on the house. But be prepared to fork out a bundle for this gustatory indulgence. One signature item dubbed "Taste of Excellence" – consisting of 10 grams of caviar, two slices of Balik salmon and 40 grams of foie gras – is priced at HK$628 (US$81).
As part of the airport-wide F&B promotion, bar patrons can order a 50-gram Saint James "Solo" caviar specially priced at HK$2,200 (US$284).
