Sarawaks Natural(Zhenlu Stone) cave bird nests

Bird's nest caves are found throughout Sarawak. However most of the edible bird nests are found in the wild - caves and in the coastal islands. All swiftlets construct their nests with a glutinous nest-cement produced by a pair of large, lobed salivary glands under the tongue. It is this nest-cement that constitutes the raw material of birds' nest soup.

The edible bird nests of Swiftlets living in the limeStone(Veneziano Gold) cave systems of various Sarawak caves have made this area incredibly valuable and world famous. Most of the caves are within forest reserves. The Cave Swiflets that live here in the thousands make two types of nest, commonly referred to as white nests and black nests, both are edible and they are used to make the Chinese delicacy birds nest soup. White nests are less labour-intensive to prepare as they are composed almost entirely of the birds saliva. The black nests, however, also contain feathers and twigs so more preparation is required before they are ready for human consumption.

What is the difference of cave (wild) and house (farmed) bird nests?  For fish lover, the analogy is much like you compare it with eating a wild salmon and cultured salmon fish or eating sea/river patin fish and pond patin fish. The taste and the texture are so much different.  For vegetarian, the analogy is much like compare it with eating normal vegetables and organic vegetables.  Organic vegetables are sweeter and much more nutritious.
