SilverGlobeBirdNest1

Evelyn Gan of SilverGlobe Bird Nest sent me a bird nest to be reviewed. Above is bird nest package sent by PosLaju, it takes only 1 day to reach KL from Kuching, Sarawak. There is a recipe on how to cook bird nest attached to the container.

Bird nest drink is a chinese delicacy known for its health and beauty benefits, it is essentially saliva of certain birds which lives in caves, its nests are made of their own saliva.

SilverGlobeBirdNest2

Raw bird’s nest, above is 2 pcs worth RM130 which weight only about 10g, talk about expensive, but it would still be cheaper than saffron

SilverGlobeBirdNest3

Put the bird nest into a small bowl

SilverGlobeBirdNest4

pour in luke warm water and let it soak for 1 hour

SilverGlobeBirdNest5

expanded. Apparently, real bird nest will expand whereas fake ones won’t expand after soaking

SilverGlobeBirdNest6

Put into a heatproof bowl, i used Pyrex, but chinese ceramic clay bowl are usually used. Above are bird nest, a piece of rock sugar weighing 40g and 400g of water

SilverGlobeBirdNest7

double boil the bird nest. I put the pyrex bowl into a big stock pot, base it with a metal steaming rack, and fill water halfway up the pyrex

SilverGlobeBirdNest8

Cooked, after 2 hours. The bird nest is automatically broken up into jelly lookalike. I can’t really get used to the smell though, it smell of albumin or egg white. Upon googling, having a eggy smell means the bird nest have not been chemically bleached, and they called it egg-like FRAGANCE.

TonkaBean4-Salad

Make your own salad in a parmesan cheese “barrel”

TonkaBean5-Pizza

TonkaBean6-JacketPotatoes

Jacket potato, the pototo is a bit dried out

TonkaBean7-BBQ

TonkaBean8-Roast

Their cherry ice cream is actually not bad, the green tea is good as well, strawberry ones comes with big chunk of real fruit

Overall, i find they skimp on their food choices knowing a lot of Alliance credit card member are coming. It is a 2-days-offer whereby Alliance credit card member can get 50% off. Not mistaken, original price is RM78++ per pax. There is no coconut and crab in sight as seen in other’s blog :\
