Can a recipe for a sweet soup be a Gift Of Love? Food is still just food, no matter how nutritious and yummy it is. Not until someone cooks it with tender, loving care, and shares the meal with you. You can’t buy that taste and warmth. Take a break and spend quality time bonding with your loved ones.

The Sweet Potato is a common Asian food which is typically cooked in a variety of sweet soups, porridge, and salted dishes, or simply steamed or roasted whole. It’s extremely versatile.

Three medium size Japanese sweet potatoes, washed, peeled and cut into small cubes.
Bird nests (10gm dried), soaked for 2 hours, softened and loosened into strands.
An electrical double boiler with 1 litre of water for the inner pot.
A small stalk of fresh pandan leaves, washed and tied into a knot.

Expecting a Bundle Of Joy? 5 Things You Should Know About Taking Bird Nests

Ying Yih Low — Fri, 23 Oct 2015 16:00:00 +0000

“Why is regular consumption of bird nests good for pregnant women and new mummies?”

For those who are born in this region or have lived in South East Asia long enough, you might have known that Asians (especially the Chinese) strongly believe in taking bird nests. And you would have heard your gynecologists, your grandmothers, your mums (or in-laws) tell you so. But WHY?

Here are 5 Good Reasons why bird nests are great for pregnant women and new mummies:

They’re almost 100% proteins and essential amino acids. Protein plays a crucial role in almost all biological processes and amino acids are the building block of it. Amino acids are biologically important organic compounds.

Aid in the healthy development of the fetus. A large proportion of our cells, muscles and tissue are made up of amino acids, which carry out important bodily functions, such as giving cells their structure. They therefore play a key role in the transport and storage of nutrients, and significantly influence the function of organs, glands, tendons and arteries.

Enhance post birth recovery process for new mummies. The amino acids are essential for healing wounds and repairing tissue, especially in the muscles, bones, skin and hair, as well as for the removal of bodily wastes produced in the body in connection with metabolism.

Help pregnant women and new mummies to achieve a well-balanced metabolism and maintain good energy level. The entire amino acid pool in our body transforms several times a day through complex biological processes within our body. In order to achieve a balanced metabolism, this pool of essential amino acid is required to be complete and maintained in a correct mix.

Boost body immunity pre-natal and post birth. A number of essential amino acids cannot be created by the human body and so, must be taken in as food. Consuming bird nests on a regular basis is one of the most efficient ways to help replenish the body with such amino acids, which will help strengthen the immunity of pregnant women and new mummies.

Introducing our monthly subscription plan to freshly cooked bird nests at $199/month, for 4 jars, delivered weekly. Call us at 9693-5037 or contact us at King of Nests to get a trial jar at a discount. Visit www.kingofnests.com/monthly-subscription/ for more details on our current promotion.

Hot Hot Weather, Cool Cool Refreshing Bird Nests Drink!

Ying Yih Low — Thu, 15 Oct 2015 16:00:00 +0000

Looking forward to a well-deserved rest over the weekend? It’s time to chill.

Coconut water seems to be the new fad these days. You probably have seen different brands, canned or bottled, and read so much about it already. And yes, we are going to talk more about it, and introduce you to our refreshing concoction! Super easy, super nutritious.

FRESH COCONUT DRINK WITH BIRD NESTS

What You’ll Need:

1. A piece of dried bird nests (8gm) soaked and loosened.
2. Two fresh and young Thai coconuts.
3. An electrical double boiler with 300ml of water for the inner pot.
4. Four glasses.

How To Make Your Drink:

Step 1: Double boil the bird nests for about 40 minutes using mid to high heat until the strands are soft, and turn translucent.

Step 2: Chill both the coconuts and the cooked bird nests, separately, in the fridge for about an hour.

Step 3: Cut open coconut to pour out the fresh water into the glasses, then scrap out the white creamy flesh of the young coconuts.

Step 4: Scope some coconut flesh and cooked bird nests into each glass.

Step 5: Served fresh. Stir well and enjoy your drinks!

What is this refreshing Coconut Bird Nests drink GOOD for? Who does it benefit?

Tender coconut water is a natural, nutrient rich isotonic drink.
It is high in electrolytes, chlorides, potassium, and magnesium and has a moderate amount of sugar, sodium, and protein. It’s also a good source of dietary fibre, manganese, calcium, riboflavin, and vitamin C.
Coconut water helps prevent dehydration and also relieves tiredness and fatigue by replenishing the natural salts lost by the body when you sweat.
It is common for pregnant mums to drink coconut water which helps relieve morning sickness, constipation, and acidity that are common problems during pregnancy. It is also very common for pregnant women to consume bird nests regularly during their pregnancy to aid fetus development, boost immunity and maintain a well-balanced metabolism.
Did you know that coconut water is also a zero-cholesterol, fat-free beverage?

If you want to enjoy the benefits of having coconut water, pick up a fresh tender coconut and moderate your intake to one glass of coconut water a day.

Remember to have it fresh every time you drink it.

Pumpkin Season Has Arrived – With A Nutritious Bird Nest Twist

Ying Yih Low — Thu, 17 Sep 2015 16:00:00 +0000

Think Autumn Harvest and sweet golden pumpkins come to mind.

Gifts of love from Mother Earth. Indeed, the pumpkin is a super food that is extremely high in fiber, low in calories, and packs an abundance of disease-fighting nutrients and vitamins.

Our September featured dish is a pot of wholesome, nutritious, creamy Pumpkin Scallop Bird Nests Porridge. Warms the heart and calms the soul. The kind of comfort food I yearn from Grandma’s cooking! A simple yet healthy meal for the family.

Why This Pumpkin Porridge Is Good For You And Your Family

This simple golden creamy porridge is suitable for young toddlers, growing children, nursing mummies, working adults, ladies on a light diet and the elderly. The combination of 3 super foods as its core ingredients: pumpkin, dried scallops, and bird nests, makes it a super awesome dish.

Health Benefits Of Pumpkins

1. Pumpkins can boost your immune system and may reduce cancer risk

The key nutrient that boosts pumpkin to the top of the Superfoods list is the synergistic combination of carotenoids. Pumpkin contains one of the richest supplies of documented carotenoids. Carotenoids are deep orange-, yellow-, or red-colored, fat-soluble compounds that occur in a variety of plants. Carotenes convert into vitamin A inside the body. Foods rich in carotenoids have been linked to a host of health-promoting and disease-fighting activities. They have been shown to decrease the risk of various cancers, including those of the lung, colon, bladder, cervical, breast, and skin.

2. Pumpkins aid weight loss

It is one of the very low calorie vegetables. 100g fruit provides just 26 calories and contains no saturated fats or cholesterol; however, it is rich in dietary fiber, anti-oxidants, minerals, and vitamins. The vegetable is one of the food items recommended by dieticians in cholesterol controlling and weight reduction programs. A fantastic ingredient in porridge, salads, and sandwiches for those on a light diet.

3. Pumpkins protect the skin and keeps eyesight sharp

Pumpkin is a storehouse of many anti-oxidant vitamins such as vitamin-A, vitamin-C and vitamin-E. Vitamin A is a powerful natural anti-oxidant and is required by the body for maintaining the integrity of skin and mucusa. It is also an essential vitamin for good visual sight. In addition, pumpkin contains Zea-xanthin, a natural anti-oxidant which has UV (ultra-violet) rays filtering actions in the macula lutea in retina of the eyes. Thus, it may offer protection from “age-related macular disease” (ARMD) in the elderly.

Health Benefits Of Dried Scallops

1. Dried scallops are rich in proteins

In every 100 grams of dried scallop, there are 65.7g of protein, which is 2-3 times of that in chicken, beef or shrimp. A great ingredient in soups and porridge for both young children, working adults and elderly.

2. Dried scallops helps to strengthen the body

A common ingredient in wholesome double boiled Chinese soups, it is consumed to help strengthen weak body, spleen or stomach. It is suitable for people with high cholesterol or high blood pressure. It is also commonly recommended to be used in foods or soups for people who have just finished operation, radiotherapy or chemotherapy. For the aged, regular consumption helps to relieve frequent headache, eye ache and back ache.

Health Benefits Of Bird Nests

1. Bird nests are rich in essential amino acids

Bird Nests are almost entirely proteins and amino acids. Amino acids, being the second largest component in our bodies, are mainly responsible for 3 things: (1) maintaining our bodily functions, (2) muscles and tissue repair and, (3) metabolism. A great supplement food which aids in muscle and tissue repair, especially for those in process of healing and recovering from injury or operations, and for nursing mothers recovering from child birth.

2. Bird nests can boost your immune system

Consuming bird nests on a regular basis can improve blood pressure, increase the body immunity, and nourishes the lungs. It helps to clear chest and aid in curing coughs. Great for both young and old.

3. Bird nests can rejuvenation and repair skin

As a skin care ingredient, its high concentrations of antioxidants, water-soluble glycoprotein, Epidermal Growth Factors, and amino acids are said to fight signs of aging by promoting cell growth and tissue repair. This means smaller pores, firmer skin, less lines and wrinkles. It also improves metabolism, so frequent consumption results in young, radiant and fairer skin. One of the top reasons why ladies love bird nests!

A New Twist on Moon Cakes in Singapore

Ying Yih Low — Thu, 10 Sep 2015 16:00:00 +0000

What would mid-autumn be like without mooncakes? I can’t imagine.

There are truffles, pink champagne, salted caramel, even coconut and kaya. These are the mooncake flavors that one can find from hotels and patisseries. So much creativity, fusion and reinvention have taken the contemporary mooncakes to new heights. Now, let’s try the ‘Caviar of the East’ — Bird Nests!

In a collaboration with Caffe Pralet by Creative Culinaire (a well-established cafe and baking school in the Tiong Bahru enclave), King of Nests worked with Chef Timothy Chia to create new refreshing bird nests specialty treats for mooncake fans.

Previously, we shared the first story about Chef Sherie and bird nest egg tarts. We now present the second story in our collaboration series with Tim!

Bird nest moon cakes sound very exotic, especially to the expat community here. What flavors are available?

There are two types of mooncakes which are embedded with premium bird nests: the snow skin and the jelly. Both types are typically served chilled, and these are popular with mooncake fans with a sweet tooth.

For the snow skin mooncakes, there are four flavors:

Jade Matcha with Yuzu Custard
Ruby Blood Orange with Chocolate Lotus Paste
Gui Hua with Wolfberry Custard
Pearl Almond with Gingko Lotus Paste

For the jelly mooncakes, there are also four flavors:

Jade Matcha with Black Sesame
Ruby Blood Orange with Mandarin Slices
Gui Hua with Wolfberry
Pearl Almond

Who created these flavors? Tell us about the creative chef behind these Mooncakes.

The idea struck when Timothy Chia from Caffe Pralet attended one of the King of Nests talks on bird nests. As the business moved away from the traditional way of marketing bird nests, the avenue to work with chefs opened new opportunities.

Tim, a multi-talented and dynamic lad in his early twenties, who is both the operation manager and chef of Caffe Pralet, was as open to the collaboration as the King of Nests. Not only does Caffe Pralet offer customized cakes for all occasions, it also specializes in unique local fusion dishes on its seasonal menus such as the Har-Cheong Kai Burger (Prawn Paste Chicken Chop Burger), the Baked Laksa Pasta, and the Tofu Club Sandwich, to name a few. Therefore, experimenting with bird nest in mooncakes is an interesting project that Tim looked forward to embark on.

We had fun doing taste tests with Tim before we nailed the ones we liked.

So, which was the King of Nests favorite?

It has got to be the Matcha Jelly! I’m a green tea fan! And I must say, the taste of green tea goes very well with bird nests. I also liked the Ruby Blood Orange Snow Skin Mooncake a lot because of its special Chocolate Lotus Paste. It is not just normal chocolate; there are orange peels with orange liqueur inside. The pairing of the citrus with chocolate is perfect!

What kind of bird nests are used in these premium mooncakes?

Premium white whole bird nests (Bai Yan Zhan) that come from bird houses in various parts of Indonesia. These nests are house nests obtained from accredited suppliers in Indonesia, whose methods of harvesting do not endanger the livelihood of swiftlets nor interfere with their way of life.

Where can consumers buy the bird nests mooncakes?

The mooncakes are available for pre-order online at www.KingOfNests.com (call 9038-0126). Consumers can also call our café partner, Caffe Pralet, at 6223-5595 to order directly. Self-collect orders from Caffe Pralet, which is located at 17 Eng Hoon Street, #01-03/04, Eng Hoon Mansions, Singapore 169767. Open daily. (Free delivery applies for orders of above $200. $10 delivery charge applies for orders of $200 and below.)

What other plans do you have lined up?

The general perception of bird nests is that it is a tonic health food, and it is normally, rather strongly, associated with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). King of Nests are breaking away from that mold. One of our differentiating factors is defining bird nests as gourmet, a super ingredient which you can enjoy in various dishes, both sweet and savory, thus our introduction of new ways to enjoy bird nests to the consumers. Naturally, it is part of our strategy to find chefs who are equally experimental, to create new dishes, and broaden the use of bird nests beyond TCM.

King of Nests plans to continue working with creative chefs for culinary collaboration!

#MasterChefAsia: What’s In The Mystery Box

Ying Yih Low — Thu, 03 Sep 2015 16:00:00 +0000

^{Image Credit: Lifetime Asia}

What is so captivating about the MasterChef Mystery Box Challenge?

We don’t know what’s inside and that adds to the suspense before the show. Every contestant gets the same ingredients, yet each resulting dish is absolutely unique. That accumulates the suspense throughout the entire show, until you finally see the complete dish presented to the judges.

At the press event of MasterChef Asia last week, I was extremely impressed by how quick-thinking and skillful the three Singapore contestants were during the 30-minute live cook-off. I am equally intrigued by their stories; how each of them made sacrifices and strive to pursue their dreams in MasterChef Asia. To conceptualize their dish immediately after opening their boxes, to entertain the judges and audience at the same time, and to whip out three different gourmet dishes, filling the room with aroma that makes you hungry. They were so focused in channeling their passion and creativity to create those sumptuous delicacies.

There’s Leong, a lawyer who part-times as a bartender; he came up with Butter-Poached Prawns, Pickled Daikons with Lime-Coconut Cream. Lennard, an engineer with a dream to own a sandwich shop, made amazing Prawn Tacos (Coconut flatbread, sautéed prawns and pineapples, with shrimp mayonnaise and pickled vegetables). And Sandrian, a Thai-Chinese home maker with such unique knowledge on spices from her background, whipped up something very close to her heart: Coconut Ginger Prawns with Prawn Omelette served on Pineapple Salsa and Pickled Daikons.

So, What Was Their Mystery Box Then?

Their Mystery Box ingredients were:

6 Large Prawns With Shells
1 Bunch Of Fresh Coriander/Chinese Parsley
1 Piece of Old Ginger
1 Can Of Coconut Milk
1 Pineapple
2 Daikons
Cereal

Getting fired up as I watched them in action, the first dish that comes to mind when I saw the ingredients was Steamed Prawns in Chinese Rice Wine. I would use the prawns, Chinese parsley and the old ginger. It’s a very simple and easy dish that could be done within 30minutes with minimal fuss. Something that a schedule-packed working mum like myself can comfortably manage in my “Getting The Dinner Ready” by 7pm challenge!

How To Prepare Steamed Prawns in Chinese Rice Wine

Place the prawns whole (without removing the shells) in a large plate, pour a large cup of Chinese rice wine to just cover the prawns nicely, and then sprinkle some sliced ginger strips and wolfberries (or goji berries) into the dish. Add a dash of sugar, dash of light soya sauce, and some pepper.

Now, to add a twist, the additional ingredient that is not in the mystery box which I would like to use is bird nests. I would place about 8gm of soaked and loosen raw bird nests into the wine and prawn mixture, and steam the dish for about 5 to 8 minutes. Some finely chopped Chinese parsley would be used for garnishing on the steamed prawns when done.

Besides double boiling, steaming is an alternative way for cooking bird nests and this method allows the nests to absorb the sweetness of the wine and goji, as well as the saltiness of the prawns, which would blend well with its natural eggy taste when cooked. The steamed bird nests would be removed from the wine broth and served separately from the steamed prawns.

I can’t wait to try it out and show you guys! This will be such an exquisite dish.

Singapore Foodies Welcome New Bird Nest In A Tart!

Ying Yih Low — Thu, 27 Aug 2015 16:00:00 +0000

In an interview with Ying Yih, the brand co-founder of King Of Nests, meet the ladies who created Singapore’s tastiest Bird Nest Tarts.

Just this month, King of Nests started a new product range – Bird Nests Specialty Products. Today we dive into how the specialty products came about, and who the chefs are behind the unique delicacy. A treat often found in Hong Kong, King of Nests now offers the delicious treat to the food lovers of Singapore!

Where Do The Bird Nests Used In The Tarts Come From?

The white whole bird nests (Bai Yan Zhan) come from various parts of Indonesia which is the world’s largest exporter and producer of bird nests. These nests are house nests obtained from accredited suppliers in Indonesia, whose methods of harvesting do not endanger the livelihood of swiftlets nor interfere with their way of life. As part of King of Nests’ field trips to villages in the Indonesia islands, we visit the houses where the birds make their nests, and meet the locals who harvest and clean the bird nests.

How Did The Idea Of Making Bird Nests Egg Tarts Come About?

Out in the market, it’s either rock sugar bird nests or ginseng bird nests. Bottled and ready to eat. Even if the bird nests were home-cooked, it’s still likely to be the same flavors. So, to create new flavors and ways to eat bird nests, we began to experiment on tastes that will pair well with bird nests.

Since bird nests have this natural rich eggy taste (because it’s super rich in proteins), it isn’t hard to figure out that bird nests will go well with eggs. First, the artisans tried it in Chinese steamed eggs, the savory kind. It was delicious yet simple. Then, a friend mentioned it reminded her of bird nests egg tarts which she had tried in Hong Kong. And when we asked around, we found more people who have heard about the bird nests egg tarts in Hong Kong, but no one knows where to get them in Singapore.

That’s when the ‘Ah-ha’ moment struck. We’ll make the bird nests egg tarts! After all, Kings of Nests is a bird nests specialty store in Singapore. Anything and everything bird nests!

About The Chef Who Bakes The Egg Tarts

The chef is a super cool, super talented, mother of two, Ms Sherie Quek, the co-owner of Madame Patisserie. Before starting out on her own, she was with the Ritz-Carlton Hotel for over 10 years, working her way up from a junior cook in the pastries department to its No. 2 chef with 18 staff working under her. While working for Ritz-Carlton, work trips to Japan, Germany and Dubai had exposed her to new techniques and kitchen cultures. Sherie is very passionate about baking; everything from the scones and jams, to even the sliced white bread and cinnamon rolls, are made from scratch at her café, fresh and piping hot.

Very interestingly, Ying Yih from Kings of Nests and Ms. Sherie met for the first time at a networking session in a friend’s cafe and were seated next to each other. And as they said, the law of attraction is at work. Hard to believe the person Ying Yih was looking for to help her on the egg tarts came at the right moment at the right place. The two ladies hit it off immediately.

Where Can Consumers Buy The Bird Nests Egg Tarts?

The tarts are available for pre-order online at www.KingOfNests.com, or call 9038-0126 to order. Consumers can also order the tarts directly from café partner, Madame Patisserie, which is located at 200 Turf Club Road #01-15A, The Grandstand, Singapore 287994. Open daily 10am to 10pm. (Free delivery applies for orders above $200. $10 delivery charge applies for orders of $200 and below.)

Are There Plans To Create Other Unique Bird Nests Desserts Or Pastry?
Yes, of course! As the Mid-Autumn festival is coming up in September, the idea to collaborate with a moon cake chef has been brewing. King of Nests will have fun experimenting with more exotic flavors and doing taste tests to create bird nest snow skin moon cakes, and bird nest jelly moon cakes. We’ll tell you more about it when the products are launched!
