History of Bird's Nest.

The history of bird's nest consumption can be traced back to China nearly 1,500 years ago during the Tang Dynasty period (A.D. 618-907). It was believed that bird's nest had been brought back from 'Nan yang' (the southern countries), by sea-faring Chinese sailors, and introduced to the courts of the China's Emperor as a supreme delicacy (food of the Emperor). During that era, only the family of the Emperor and his court officials has the privilege of consuming the highly priced bird’s nest. It was only at the end of the Emperor rule, that the common people were introduced to bird's nest and the value and demand for bird's nest has since continued to climb due to its rarity and nutritional properties.
