Bird nest does not have much nutritious value.

At least you don't need to kill swallows just to get bird nests..unlike the poor sharks..which needs to be killed to obtain it's fins..and what's more, ABSOLUTELY ZILCH nutritional value..poor sharks..Originally posted by Isis:Bird nest does not have much nutritious value.

Friend says (3:16 PM):
ya. usually done for the black cave nest. this another grade of nest. the swiflet species different from the whiter bird nest
Friend says (3:19 PM):

One more thing to add, i have personally seen the actual bird nest that was brought back from the mountains back to Singapore.
Although original state is not very tempting, a lot of tedious work will need to be put in to remove the feathers (with a pincer) and impurites such as mud as the bird nest cannot kena water for too long, else it will be soggy and the value will drop.. -
agar agar sticks' texture and appearance quite similar to bird nestOriginally posted by alleggerita:I admit it looks a bit disgusting..especially the bleaching part..

bird's nest is nice!

There is no sugar in bird nest...Originally posted by beavan:bird's nest is nice!

Artifical flavoring like the rock sugar is to make it more tasty, and the time that you take to boil it.
Different grades has different time, some grades if boil too long, u can't even have the nata de coco feeling, and only the taste like the SAF bird nest syrup taste.. -
hmmm... serious i do mind eating jelly instead of bird nest... not much diff...
