Earlier last month, when the little darling left KL to visit her relatives in Penang, her mom brought a few gifts which included a packet of unprocessed bird’s nest. I was not really too keen on touching it at first but soon got myself to clean it up. Dad helped of course. The bird’s nest was known in the past to be a very popular and fancy delicacy. Chinese opera singers thought that it would make their voices sounds good so, I decided to double boil the birds nest in the slow cooker a few days before the IELTS speaking test ahaha. Wonder did it work. Hmmm
The unprocessed bird’s nest on the board.
On the plate before soaking!
After soaking the bird’s nest for one day, the tedious job of sorting the fine feathers from the the “nests” itself started. The best way to do this I guess is to keep on sorting the large clumps of cleans bird’s nest from the dirtier ones. And then, put the impure ones in another bowl of water and let the feathers fall off by itself. After, four days of effort, the bird’s nest is finally ready to be cooked :D
Jeng Jeng Jeng Jeng :P!!
It was really delicious when cooked. All you would need is rock sugar and water along with the bird’s nests and after four hour, you will get a yummy drink :)!
Ok that’s all nothing much eheh. Can’t wait for the weekends. Hope to get some sushi into my tummy!
