It's not a yellow can leh. The label is in yellow and green with white words, "Chao San Si" printed on it beside a picture of a plate of chao san si.Originally posted by sbst275:Ya
Yellow colour can
No... The worst is regarding their QC... Saw 1 can of Water Chesnut with the entire can 'pop'... Meaning during the quaratine period, they just packed the can into 24 per carton box and export it... Meaning there's germs inside!
Oh goodness!! Such BAD quality control?!! Yipers! Did you point out the can to the store owner? If you're really kay poh, should've taken a photo and written to The New Paper or something! -

OK, it appears that it's a fallacy that Quail Eggs have more cholesterol than chicken eggs!
Apparently, you'll have to eat 4-5 Quail Eggs to reach the equivalent in cholesterol count, of one chicken egg!
Yippeeeeee!! Can select Quail Eggs and eat them now without guilt!
Avoided them for donkey years liao cause of the fallacy! -
No wonder why product qty these days goes bad
I have heard enough of these from Thailand... Esp on parallel imported consumer toiletries -
Fake eggs?!!
Wouldn't it be cheaper to just sell 'normal' eggs? -

But alot of manufacturers are moving to Thailand for manufacturing of toiletries and food.Originally posted by sbst275:No wonder why product qty these days goes bad
I have heard enough of these from Thailand... Esp on parallel imported consumer toiletries
I guess there are those which are export quality and parallel imported ones -
Nooo! What I meant was, the cost of making fake eggs would be higher than just purchasing 'real' eggs from wholesalers, wouldn't it? So why go to all that trouble?Originally posted by sbst275:It's not abt being cheap or whatever
