01
About the Brand
Who is Yo Fu Yan Wo (佑富燕窝)?+
Yo Fu Yan Wo is a bird's nest company headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. We run our own swiftlet houses, supply direct from the source and operate our own factory, with strict control at every step.
Do you have a physical store I can visit?+
Yes, we are at No. 17, 1-6, Jalan Chan Sow Lin, 55200 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. We are open Monday to Saturday, 8:30am-5:30pm (Malaysia time). Please contact us before you come so we can prepare for you.
What social media / content do you have (e.g. Douyin, TikTok)?+
Yes, we have official accounts on all the major social platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, Xiaohongshu and Douyin. Follow us! We share bird's nest knowledge, product news, daily life at our factory and much more, so you can get to know bird's nest, and us, better.
How fresh is the freshly stewed bird's nest?+
Each order is stewed fresh - typically within 24 hours of dispatch - and couriered quickly so it reaches you at its best. It contains no preservatives, so we recommend refrigerating and enjoying it within a few days.
02
Orders & Delivery
Where do you deliver, and how long does it take?+
We deliver nationwide across Malaysia and to Singapore. Klang Valley orders placed and paid before 1pm are stewed and delivered the same day; other areas typically arrive within 1 to 3 working days.
How can I track my order?+
Once your order is dispatched, we'll send tracking details via WeChat or email. You can also message us anytime with your order number for a status update.
What payment methods do you accept?+
At checkout you can pay by credit/debit card, FPX online banking, or popular e-wallets (such as Touch 'n Go and GrabPay) through our secure payment gateway.
What if my order arrives damaged, wrong, or I have a quality issue? Can I return an unwanted order?+
Message us on WeChat within 24 hours of delivery with your order number and a photo of the issue, and we'll arrange a replacement or refund at no extra cost to you - usually processed within 3 to 5 business days. As freshly stewed bird's nest is a perishable, made-to-order food item, we're unable to accept change-of-mind returns once an order has been dispatched; dried (unopened, unopened-packaging) bird's nest may be eligible for a change-of-mind return within 7 days - message us to check eligibility. Your satisfaction and food safety are always our priority.
Do you offer bulk or corporate orders?+
Yes - as a wholesale factory, we welcome bulk orders for corporate gifting, events, retailers and resellers. There's no fixed minimum order quantity for standard cases; pricing tiers scale with volume. Message us on WeChat with your quantity and requirements for a custom quote, usually turned around within 1 business day.
Do you ship internationally beyond Malaysia and Singapore?+
Currently we ship nationwide across Malaysia and to Singapore as standard destinations. For other countries, message us on WeChat with your location - we can often arrange international courier shipping for dried bird's nest (which travels better than freshly stewed bottles) on a case-by-case basis.
How does the subscription plan work?+
Choose a plan and we deliver fresh bird's nest in scheduled batches - around a bottle a day. After subscribing, manage everything yourself from My Account: reschedule a delivery, change the time window, skip one, update the address, or pause. Each change is open until that delivery's cutoff.
03
Membership & Subscription
How and when am I billed for my subscription?+
Subscriptions are prepaid per cycle - you pay upfront for the batch you're subscribing to (e.g. a month's worth), and we schedule deliveries against that prepaid balance. Nothing renews or bills again automatically: when a cycle finishes, you choose whether to start another one.
Can I cancel or change my subscription?+
Yes, you're always in control. You can pause, reschedule or cancel your subscription up until the cutoff time for your next batch - just message us on WeChat or manage it from your account.
How do reward points work?+
Members earn points on every purchase and on product reviews. Points can be used like cash at checkout or redeemed in our rewards catalogue - for example, 150 points for a free bottle.
How do I refer a friend and earn rewards?+
Share your member referral link - when your friend makes their first purchase, you both earn a reward voucher. Members also unlock bundle deals such as Buy 5 Free 1.
Is membership free to join?+
Yes, membership is free. Simply create an account when you place your first order to start earning points and enjoy member-only pricing and bundle deals.
Do my reward points expire?+
Points stay valid as long as your account has at least one purchase within a rolling 12-month period. If your account is inactive for over 12 months, points may be reset - so an occasional order keeps your balance safe. Message us anytime to check your current balance and expiry status.
Is your bird's nest genuine?+
Yes. We own our swiftlet houses and clean every nest 100% by hand with no chemicals, no bleach and no glue - so what reaches you is exactly what nature made.
04
Products & Sourcing
What's the difference between freshly stewed and dried (raw) bird's nest?+
Freshly stewed bird's nest is ready to drink straight from the bottle - perfect for daily convenience. Dried (raw) bird's nest is the whole, cleaned nest which you soak and double-boil yourself, letting you control the sweetness and add-ins like red dates or rock sugar.
Do you add sugar or preservatives to the freshly stewed bird's nest?+
Our freshly stewed bottles contain no preservatives. Rock sugar options are available for those who prefer a touch of sweetness, alongside sugar-free options for a purer taste - just let us know your preference when ordering.
Is your bird's nest halal?+
Our nests are cleaned and stewed with no alcohol, no gelatine and no animal-derived additives, in line with halal dietary practice. We are in the process of formal JAKIM halal certification - message us on WeChat for the current certification status before ordering if this is essential for you.
Do you provide lab test reports or a certificate of analysis (COA)?+
Yes - as a licensed wholesale factory, our nests undergo lab testing for nitrite levels and food safety compliance. Message us on WeChat for a copy of our latest lab test report or certificate of analysis for a given batch.
Who is bird's nest suitable for?+
Bird's nest is traditionally enjoyed by people of all ages looking to support skin health, immunity and general wellness - including busy professionals, new mothers (postnatal confinement), and the elderly. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a specific medical condition, please consult your doctor before starting any new supplement.
05
Health & Nutrition
How often and how much should I consume?+
For general wellness, many customers enjoy a bottle every day or every other day, ideally on an empty stomach (morning or before bed) for better absorption. There's no strict rule - our subscription plans are designed around roughly a bottle a day if you'd like a consistent routine.
Is bird's nest safe for children or during pregnancy?+
Bird's nest is a natural food traditionally consumed during pregnancy and by children in many Asian households. That said, we're not medical professionals - if you have any health concerns, allergies, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, please check with your doctor before consuming.
What serving size is recommended by age group?+
As a general guide only (always adjust to your own body and your doctor's advice): children over 3 typically start with a smaller portion or half a bottle every other day; adults commonly take a full bottle daily or every other day; the elderly and postnatal mothers often follow a daily bottle routine over a course of weeks. These are traditional consumption norms, not medical dosing - consult a doctor for anything more specific.
Are there any allergy risks I should know about?+
Bird's nest is a bird-derived product and, though uncommon, can trigger an allergic reaction in individuals sensitive to bird or egg proteins. If you have a known allergy to bird's nest, eggs, or other bird-derived products, please avoid it or consult a doctor first. Discontinue use and seek medical advice if you notice any adverse reaction after consuming.
How should I heat or serve the freshly stewed bird's nest?+
You can enjoy it chilled straight from the fridge, at room temperature, or gently warmed. If warming, place the sealed or opened bottle in a bowl of hot (not boiling) water for a few minutes - avoid microwaving directly in the bottle, and avoid direct high heat which can affect texture.
How should I store the bird's nest?+
Keep freshly stewed bottles refrigerated and consume within a few days of delivery. Dried bird's nest should be kept in a cool, dry, airtight container away from direct sunlight.
06
Storage & Care
What's the shelf life of each product?+
Freshly stewed bottles are best enjoyed within 5 to 7 days when refrigerated, since there are no preservatives - check the production date printed on your bottle's lid. Dried (raw) bird's nest, stored properly in an airtight, dry container, keeps for up to 12 months from the production date shown on the packaging.
Can I freeze the freshly stewed bird's nest?+
We recommend refrigerating rather than freezing, as freezing can affect the texture. Since each batch is stewed fresh to order, we suggest consuming within the recommended timeframe rather than stocking up long-term.
Can I send bird's nest as a gift?+
Absolutely. Our gift sets and hampers come beautifully presented and are popular for weddings, newborns, festive occasions and corporate gifting. Let us know and we can arrange direct delivery to your recipient.
07
Gifting
Can I include a personalised message or hide the price for a gift order?+
Yes - let us know at checkout or via WeChat and we'll include a personalised gift card and keep the invoice/price out of the package when shipping directly to your recipient.
