I'm not sure why people actually spend money on bird nest, especially the older aunties.

It is tasteless and most of the time people consume them with rock sugar. In other words, you are just consuming sugar.

There is always risk when eating bird nest cause of potential contamination.

The so called health benefits like it containing antioxidants aren't backed by research or science.

Basically, people are just paying a bunch of money for something that has no benefit and has no taste while increasing the risk of diabetes and severely affecting the health if you are unlucky enough to consume one that is contaminated.

Ok

Eat bird saliva

french kiss with the dove

lol can give some facts

it not eat nest lol , people eat the damn saliva .some believe its healthy

Don't even get started on burning paper, putting it in water and drinking it.

Why though?

You are risking all sorts of influenza virus for something that is tasteless and super expensive.

You might as well just drink sugar water, which is basically drinking bird nest but with reduced influenza risk and much cheaper. Still getting the diabetes though.

U no money buy just shut the f up la. No need busy body what other ppl do.

wait until you hear about people eat endangered fish fin or drink cow piss.

Yes eat candy b better

Those bird nest harvester are laughing their way to the bank

Why you mock China tradition ?
You will upset a lot of people

Bird nest sellers are like legal scammers.

Selling crap to stupid people.

Well, looking at the bright side, stupid people deserve to get their money scammed.

I understand people who eat caviar or black truffle or drink expensive wine cause those are acquired taste, which if you like them and you spend loads of money on them, it is still worth it.

Bird nest on the other hand is literally tasteless so you can't even say it is an acquired taste. You are just crazy stupid spending loads of money to taste nothing while increasing the risk of diabetes and getting influenza.

Someone I know ate lots of bird nest - they say skin of baby will be very fair

Bird nest eater suda triggered 👺👺🔥🔥🔥🔥

I think u mispelled.

Pipur drink calpis.

Not cow piss.

Is a vicious cycle, hospital make money by praying for more sickness

So same as ppl who go church/temple/mosque/2feidei ? Got it!

Ts eated jelly fake bird nest is it

ada wang vs tak ada wang

Ada wang pay $200 for a bottle a water no feeling

so old, now ppl buy health supplement and the dna health supplement stuff already

when lu kiss girl girl...
do you also put lu tongue into girl girl mouth and share share saliva?

It is the same with sharks fin. Basically tasteless. I had a friend who was a cook. There is flavor in everything else in sharks fin soup except the sharks fin itself! Even if you remove the sharks fin from the soup, it will still taste the same.

This. lol

Actually rice, roti putih, noddle, chicken egg dll also tasteless…

Owait…

Wait what practice is this?

Betul Ada point

Yes but shark fin is pretty much illegal these days anyway.

true - when u m40 u everything say same one la. after eat still shit come out. i really sien talk to this type of ppl. ppl for few hundred years eat bird nest skin becum white white smooth smooth then he suddenly come here claim ppl stupid. same my old m40 sub-cons, all say eat wat aso same la after eat still shit. halo u live on this earth only this chance, this only chance. after die means die. enjoyla all delicacies in the world.

same as ppl say drive merz for wat - my myvi aso can drive here to there. u never tasted means never. dont talk lot lot. if u dont like just shudup and research why ppl take it. ppl rich is stupid but u poor is smart. funny

isnt it the same with milo dinosour chesse berleler?

if u ever tasted the few thousand Rm one then u say la. eat abalone aso eat the big as ur hand one. then u say. dont use those common menu to compare

It's not about the money.

Paying $200 for a bottle of water, a huge waste but at least it is just water.

Paying loads for something that is tasteless and increases your risk of diabetes and if you are unlucky to eat a contaminated bird nest is a whole new level of stupid. It is literally paying money to take unnecessary risk for no reward.


It is almost the same as eating Fugu but at least one can argue that they are risking it for the taste or the thrill of it.

it wont taste the same. same like bak kut teh and chi kut teh - the fins carry a taste by itsef. basically everything got a taste of its own.

Indeed

which is why ppl say got money vs no money lo. got money drink Fiji, Voss, San Pellegrino perrier. its not only about the water its about telling ur customer, clients, associates, competitors, ur level and ur taste and standing. which why some ppl make big money and some still stagnant. dont be stubborn. try open up to the world. dont need to be materialistic but if u only chase simplicity then u dont even need to care why ppl drink bird nest or drink 200 water. u just do u. why la u sakit hati come here try to belitle others

If freemakan, all also ayam welkam & don mind at all

Eat snow fungus.

It's a delicacy to show how atas ppl are

Those high grade one etc

It's just like how some ppl like to buy luxury watches etc

If you think about it, something that is superior in time keeping should cost more, and if something inferior costs more to make , then it is obsolete technology.

But luxury watchmakers have found a way to artificially jack up the price of watches such that it's selling price far exceeds it's intrinsic value.

You sound like a bird nest seller or a person who ate too much bird nest.

One is poorly educated while the other got brain damaged from consuming too much bird nest.

Either of them often are often incoherent in their sentences.

But bird nest are often consume in private so I'm not sure how are you "showing off".

Beggar cannot be chooser.

if u belif ppl t20 buying watches becos of the watches then u r wrong. ppl buy the watches becos of the value. it is a currency by its own. ppl paying for house just by handing over a watch. no bank no tax. think deeper. buying as hobby and buying for finance tools is very much different

So why people swallow sperm?
Got wad benefit ? Beside risk kena std hiv.. but they still swallow ...

So they sohai?

Just like how I can never understand the appeal of coffee. Why not just drink something that tastes good? geez.

people got money, want buy what, u chui ah?

not using ur money also

Ye

Partner spend right.1.5k for mid valley level bird nest for kids

I just layan but man can buy ps5 with that money

Extract fresh bird saliva juice farm
No need climb collect nest

Eat birb hawk tuah

Dang… that’s brutal.

At least ppl get tasty sugar drink from bird nest, the others get nothing in return, some even brainwashed to feel sinful for just being born into the world…

At least coffee smells good to others, worst offenders are sohai who smoke cigarettes. They burn money to get cancer or cause cancer to others.

If you guys want to pretend to be rich, need to refrain from commenting

The thing is if you have 1% friend or is able to spent 10k a month on bird nest, you will know that bird nest works wonder

Btw fish stomach and cordyceps quite sedap

A real coffee drink the mental boost is quite noticeable. For some people who cannot notice that, it is either their mental alertness is already at peak capacity so there is no need for coffee, or they are so immune to the effect it no longer does anything to them. Also, at different stage of life you will react to coffee differently due to change in your body metabolism.

Abalone also same right? Even if it claims to have some nutritional benefits which are in dispute, also not worth the price you pay for it. Egg and vege are the best food when it comes to nutrition to cost ratio.

give you science

caffeine is actually a medicine

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...81056&hl=coffee

must eat at least once in life time ma,get to exp it

Ts problem... While know surfing is toxic yet still continue/k/

One upvote as the bestestest reply of da year 2025.

Calpis, not COWPISS

pipul got money, just let them do what they like

Yr argument at this point is like drive a saga it's the same as a bmw kind of argument. Eat abalone, Buddha jump over the wall, 7 star bass, bird nest, Alaskan king crab and any other kind of luxury food it's basically a call out. I can afford it period. Health benefit, taste etc.. ppl don't really care. It's just like driving a bmw 218i with a useless 1.5 3 cylinders.

Another difference is.. it didn't bother me while you butthurt others who could indulge in those kind of luxury.

Scientific research has begun to investigate the traditional claims surrounding edible bird's nest (EBN) and has found promising evidence for some benefits in laboratory and animal studies

HAHA plse do your research before you spurt fake shit

cave bird nest from sabah, sarawak are not tasteless

TS is seisohai dunno guna google or chatgpt.

Talking about rock sugar is unrefined sugar which more benefit than those air balang sugar.

Conlan97firm TS seisohai no cure

lmao

bird nest ready made … ok la it’s stupid

$$$ bird nest … dam nice but damn fucuk expensive

Unker thought another type of bird nest; those coming from batang

Ppl spend their own fking money buy things they want to eat why you aji ajo huh mafulat

You poor fking scum got nothing else better to do ?

Shark fin ppl eat the texture. Not the taste. By the time washing and processed the shark fin. Apa lanijiao nutrien, nutrition also lari.

Those who know how to eat is savor the texture. Those who b40 dunno how to eat will never know even I replace with glass noodle.

Shark fin last time considered a status dish which for Royalty and noble.

Yeah maybe because ayam b40 tastes. Back then mapren prepared a few bowls for us, sort of like a poor man's fake sharks fin. We really couldn't tell the difference.

Lol, meaning ayam have no business paying high price for something which ayam donno anything about.

Yes. You can look on it that way. It is more like status.

Similar like moonkek. Now u paying so high prices where u can find other alternative cheaper.

Tao shi

Most mooncakes are made up of very, very cheap ingredients. Even the process is nothing really special. Unless you go for those custom made ones, ayam also don't understand how the price skyrocketed until what it is today.

inb4 fish roe and caviar

That one got taste, just whether you like it or not lol. Personally, not really.

Edit: if you put a bowl of caviar and a plate of oyster omelette in front of me with the chili sauce, ayam will choose the oysters. ayam barbarian with b40 taste.

ts also mentioned about contamination

we are malaysians. if our stomachs can withstand nasi kandar, bird saliva is child's play.

TS cant afford lettew

One year one time. Tis phrase last time can get many waterfishes

That's why chinese is business in the bone, whatever shit also can goreng to sell.

I am chinese i also beh tahan all the shits, especially if relatives come asking to support them bla bla...

this type of the shark fin best, all the cartilage still intact one... fuuuuu if stewed long enough with the right soup, bestest

TS no money, just jelly saja ...

Years ago my company (US based MNC) wanted to serve that dish in some appreciation lunch. I pointed out shark fin being a big contributing factor towards shark extinction. It was promptly removed & banned from future events.

You know, the entire problem with Steven Spielberg's Jaws. The hero was an angmoh.

You put in a Chinese hero, he would be looking at Jaws with dollar signs floating in front of his eyeballs. Jaws also run away.

People own money, you sakit mana ...haha

ts eat bat soup is it

So when olang putih say caviar and black truffle is acquired taste as you claim..
Then Asian say birdnest and shark fin also acquired taste.
What your problem?

Might as well eat Durian also consuming sugar aka rock sugar with bird nest.
Diabetes....the best sugar rush....

What stupid...Stupid is like you who selective claim only certain things cannot.
Birdnest is good ...so you cannot afford, right? Then go enjoy your caviar or whatever you deem acquired tasted.

It's not tasteless

It tastes like bloody vomit

You cannot comprehend ke..
Acquired taste..

You think all Mak Salleh love Durian.....mostly say like stinking socks while us here, Malaysia say ok mah....so aquired taste lah.

himalayan

It's like those ppl who drink chicken soup

No real benefits and all the antibiotics u telan juga

Gugu bird 'Saliva' better right?

Not backed by research and science? you must now browse the internet properly

Well what do you expect from a seafood/insect eating bird's saliva?

I have more problem with busy body terpaling nak jaga kain org lain type than eat some nonsense on their own expense type.

You sir , try so hard to be PAS/Jakim on foodie world is it?

no money ke ?
