I received this from a reader who would like to share this with all of you. With more fakes coming up, we wonder what this world to coming to. China leaves no stones untouched; not even the babies (2008 milk issue). If there is a Yuan to be made, integrity is not worth a cent.
I do not understand Chinese so I cannot make out what the captions say in the photographs but from the report I received, it boils down to this :
“The ikan bilis (anchovies) skin is made from PE (plastic) tube, meat is made of some kind of jelly or gelatine. It has a fishy smell. I boiled some water for some time, the PE burst and exposed the anchovies fish meat. These anchovies has NO bones and the colour does not change after cooking for a long time. These fish are also sold in flour coated form.”
I have yet to buy any of these “made in China” products but I have had friends who had such encounters. Next coming up soon …. also a fake!

We have to think twice nowadays before buying any made in China products especially food. Scary ya.
Hi Che-Cheh, yes we do not know what is real and what is not these days. Not only does it apply to foodstuff, even people these days can be “artificial”. right?
