Garis Clutched March 24, 2013 Share March 24, 2013 I got a shock yesterday when one of the eggs my wife bought from the market turned out to be fake. I guess most of us have watched the fake eggs from China videos on youtube and I'm totally shocked that it has reached our shores. She bought it from the egg seller from the wet market stall where one can choose individual eggs priced according to their respective size. So far I've used 4 of the 20 and one is confirmed fake. The tell tale signs: 1. Thin shell when broken 2. Egg white is very watery 3. Paper like membrane 4. Rough shell surface 5. I kept the contents in the fridge and after a day, the egg mixture has taken on a flour like consistency. As the AVA is closed during the weekend, we've already emailed AVA and kept the content as evidence. I'll probably keep the remaining unused eggs from the stall as evidence if need be. Here are the pics: ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latio2005A Turbocharged March 24, 2013 Share March 24, 2013 Could it be a "spoilt" egg? Quite unlike for people to make fake eggs here - the cost of egg here is too cheap. Anyway, do keep us updated of AVA's test. Tks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
