It's not just the creativity, its the imagination and effort which helped me to execute and recreate this dessert of Michelin starred chef. Thinking on a versatile way I gave my own twist to this edible bird's nest. This "EDIBLE BIRD'S NEST" contains 'COCONUT MILK PUDDING' representing the Eggs, cooked and fried spaghetti representing the Nest , Designated coconuts resembles the SNOWY TEXTURE, and the biscuit crumbs scattered on the plate is the SOIL DIRT LOOK, and to finish this stunning eggs nest garnished with GREEN SUGAR CRYSTAL , YELLOW SUGAR CRYSTALS, and FROZEN GRAPES, and the choco stick filled with grapes syrup represents TREE LOGS.
