[Yattokame]

thanx

[Rainmaker]

no difference from normal white bird nest... just a name difference..

[Burnings]

All bird nest are the same in nutrient level, the only differences are in the completeness and taste.

雪蛤 is a substitute, cheaper too

[City100a]

from what I understand there are many types

 

and hence the price differences

 

but becareful bought recently found they contain agar that increased the weight

 

buy from a reputable company

 

no harm eating it as long as you can afford it

 

it is a food supplement

 

 

but bird nest may not be good for some women especially if they have female organ problems

 

apparently has something to do with their hormones

 

good luck

Is it really true that birds' nest is effective in treating prolonged cough or asthma?

Has anyone tried and benefitted from it?

nope, bro burning is right.. all nutrient level is about the same.. only taste, texture, colour is different.. even colour can fake if u buy from unethical sellers. actually best is still the natural coloured white ones (not those super white, shiny ones that looked bleached), they are original ones that the china emperors eat long time ago..

 

as for the female organ problems, u need to ask TCM doctors better but as a rule, anything if taken in too much is not good.. take in moderation is better.

 

for cough, it does work, i used to have cough easily when i am young. but not too much if not will get too "cold" become cold cough

For prolonged cough or asthma, it's better that you have a more regular change or wash of mattress, pillow, bedsheets & pillow case. Check for moulds in your room, especially behind cupboards & underneath drawers.

 

Bird's nest is just a high protein sort of supplement.

Prices of bird's nest don't differ much..if it is too cheap..u have to be wary. Your mom probably bought this processed one which costs about S$100-120/per tael.

It helps a lot if you know how to differentiate between the good and bad quality of birds nest came across this article when i was searching for some apple cider vinegar. 

 

I think this article on how to choose birds nest is quite informative even though i disagree with the ranking that Vietnamese Birds nest is first. personally tried the indonesian birds nest and i think its pretty top notch!

Would like to have a feel of how popular is birds' nest consumption in Singapore.

Do the people around you take it on a regular basis?

Which countries are the birds' nest from?

Currently, the prices for BN skyrocketed due to China high demand for them..
