China restaurant sells half chicken ‘raised on music, milk’ for US$66, triggers online taunts

A Shanghai restaurant which sold a half chicken dish costing a shocking 480 yuan (US$66) has justified the price by saying the bird was raised on music and milk, sparking sarcastic comments online.

Four million people watched footage a customer of the Shanghai Club restaurant posted online March 14.

In the video, a man remarks on a tiny-looking chicken dish on a plate, priced at 480 yuan (US$66).

The businessman and influencer with 270,000 followers, was apparently shocked at the price, and checked with the restaurant staff if the chicken was raised “listening to music and drinking milk”.

The staff said that the chicken was raised in the manner he described and was a rare breed known as “sunflower chicken” only kept at a farm in southern China’s Guangdong province.
