SB, I can't see how that instruction is different from the chinese version.

"transfer the egg yolk into the plastic mode that already contain the egg white and soak into liquid calcium chloride to stabilise the shape"

sounds easy, but i can't imagine how it is done easily with stable and consistent  results.

don't want to quote again but i don't want to cut-paste other people's work either.

they even have the same picture from your instruction.

enough said for the day ... believe in what you want.

that page as the exact same instruction as yours, SB.

read the line just below:

UPDATE: It's possible this story is a hoax. BoingBoing compared believing it to believing in eBayed unicorns.

she probably bought 三聚氰胺 eggs.  the egg farmers fed the chicken with too much 三聚氰胺 as a protein supplement and the eggs end up having it.

it was reported in HK last week i think. ...

It is also possible... but this actually happened a long time ago, maybe 4,5 years ago?  I suspect this whole "toxic milk" scandal... It's probably in our food way before this was in the media, just no one knew about it?

I love China.
Everything is possible in our great country...

三聚氰胺 was in the chinese food industry for a good couple of years.

back then they didn't know what 三聚氰胺 really was.

daimo, I'm not saying this is THE formula..it could be a hoax and I can't verify it myself and do not want to...lol

Anyway, someone in China can do it so there must be a way.  You know Chinese don't like telling people their "secrets", so any web instruction could be incomplete.

Sometimes having the receipe doesn't mean you can make the food that you like.  There are usually "tricks" they leave out, but you get the big picture.

i was about to ask you to make me the fake egg ...

even if it's doable I still can't imagine how people will make so little $ out of so much work.  there are better cost effective crime to choose from ...

fake news is easier to make and worth $ if the news reporter has nothing better to report (remember the cardboard buns?)

This 假雞蛋 happened a few years ago.  I wonder how many ppl who lived in their own world and never watch news.

why LYK so dead? because 80% of ppl here don't have common sense.  I became more stupid by reading LYK.

well a lot of "news" are just "stories"...lol

I guess they make money by the number of eggs sold (volume).  How much is an egg, say $1HKD in profit.  If they can sell 50k eggs a day that's $50k profit, which equals to $1.5mil HKD per month!!!

The risk involved is low in this kind of crime I guess.  How many people can detect a fake egg?  How many do report for just few dollars?  How to trace the source since eggs come from everywhere all mixed together?
