Fake egg

Recently, in Penang, a housewife lodged a report on the purchase of fake egg at Pulau Tikus. These are the links of the news Herehere and here.



Beside those points in video, another thing that I want to add when identifying the fake egg is, there are no membrane skin that exist usually after the egg shell. Meaning, When we crack open the boiled egg, usually after the egg shell, there will be a thin layer of membrane skin which is quite "leceh" to remove. For fake egg, there are no such layer. 

This is what reported but we don't know how long has this circulate and how far had it circulate around. We might have eaten it without knowing it. Nasi lemak vendor might have bought it and dunno that they used fake egg in their nasi lemak. Just to think of the possibility. Maybe I think too much.

Fake egg or even more appropriate, should be called man-made egg. Beside man-made egg, through the same technology, there are man-made grape (fake grape) which is just as hazardous for human health. 

Well, this news is quite important and the knowledge to able to identify these fake egg is also crucial as most of us consume eggs as the cheapest and main protein source beside fish. My cousins drink egg drinks every morning and to think that the egg he drank is fake egg..... aiyer, I guess i should call him just to beware. 

Well my last word here would be, don't hate the Chinamen for having this technology of creating a fake egg/counterfeit egg/man-made egg. They come out with the technology but it is those with the knowledge who uses it for personal gain should be blame.
