The nest, exactly as it comes.
Raw bird's nest, sourced in Indonesia, packed in Singapore. Quoted by weight, in writing, before you pay.
KOA DYNASTY is carried by Ci Kang TCM 慈康中医. The price is the same wherever you buy it.
One ingredient
Bird's nest is formed from swiftlet saliva, cleaned of feather and debris, and dried. Nothing added. The ingredients line on our box is one item long.
It gave its name to a molecule
Sialic acid is called 燕窝酸 — “bird's nest acid” — in Chinese, because bird's nest is where it was first isolated. Etymology and history, not an effect on the body.
Centuries in the Chinese household
Prepared the same way for generations — soaked, picked clean, double-boiled.
The four marks of good nest
Expansion 6–8× · very few fine feathers, no debris · natural ivory-to-beige colour with slight unevenness · fine smooth strands with a clean break. Applicable to any seller's nest, not only ours.
What we don't say
This site carries no health or nutrition claims. Not because we don't believe in the product, but because we'd rather tell you only what you can verify yourself — what it is, where it's from, and how to judge it. Health claims on food are regulated in Singapore, and a website is advertising in exactly the way a label is.

Soak 泡发
Soak 3–5 hours in room-temperature water — never hot, it damages the strands. Expands to 6–8× dry volume.
Rinse & pick 挑毛
Drain, rinse gently, and lift out fine feathers with tweezers. Good nest needs very little of this.
Double-boil 隔水炖
Ceramic or glass jar, ~150ml water, lid on, in a pot of simmering water for 30–45 minutes. Do not over-stew.
Sweeten & serve 调味
Add rock sugar in the last 5 minutes, to taste. Serve warm or chilled.
