has the privilege of consuming the highly priced bird's nest. It was at

BIRD'S NEST
Magical Powers
The history of bird's nest consumption can be traced back to China nearly 1500 years ago during the Tang Dynasty period (A.D. 618-907). It was believed that bird's nest had been brought back from 'Nanyang' (the southern countries), by chinese sailors and introduced to the courts of the China's Emperor as a supreme delicacy (due to the rich nutritional value).
