Wordpress stores caches using Transient and saved in wp_options table.

I can't read those stored values - a sample snapshot is as below.

If you know how to decode/read/parse them, please share.

run it like you run any other php code. It returns a value. var_dump(get_site_transient('update plugins'));. If you want to hook it somewhere then there's another process.
