The last post was brain sapping.
Alright, exams are over and hence I have more time for blogging. Just wanna share something today.
Know whats this?
Bird's nest,given by my uncle's one and only more "healthy" bird's nest shop. Very different from what you see in shops that sells them. The dark coloured pigments in the bird's nest are feathers and dirt of the swallows, and yes, the picture you've just seen is the bird's nest thats freshly harvested and not processed.
So why are the products you see in shops so clean as compared? The bird's nest harvested are soaked in chemical solutions that dissolve the dirt and feathers-meaning that the bird's nest you buy from shops are being soaked in chemical solutions before you eat them..
My uncle's way of processing bird's nest is different! Let me show you. The picture you see below is bird's nest soaked in clean drinking water, after separating the dirt and feathers BY HAND. And as you can see, there are still a some amount of black pigments remaining, and mind you, this was the third filter! And every filter is done by hand!
After 2 more filters, heres the end product. Very clean and chemically free bird's nest. Only available in my uncle's shop (=
The bird's nest from those typical shops need a few hours to cook. These hand processed ones? Just 10 minutes.
So now you know how bird's nest processed yea? Half an NTUC plastic bag of bird's nest thats processed by hand cost close to 3000 sing dollars, but we have them for FREE! hahah.
Why no Manchester United mega store uncle? LOL.
Thats the first part of this random post. Time for even more randomness!
Yesterday I saw my parents getting ready to go jogging, so I decided to join them, thinking that they're going the usual route, thats around 3km. After getting ready and doing some warm ups, we began jogging. When my parents took a turn thats different from the usual route, I asked them if they are going by a shorter route, and to my greatest immensest freaking shock, THEY ARE GOING TO JOG 5km. You can imagine how white my face was when I heard that LOL. But I still completed ahead of my dad la, by 8seconds O.O
Just abit extreme, considering the fact that its 3 months since my last jog..
