Century Egg

Century EggFor lunch today we had mapo tofu, rice noodles, pork floss, and century eggs. I’d never eaten a century egg before. It looked horrible. But everybody else was taking them, so I decided to be brave. My colleague Nic said that they just taste like normal hardboiled eggs. So I closed my eyes and tried it. And he’s right! It just tasted like a normal egg, albeit one with a slightly weird texture. But man, they look unnatural. I kind of can’t stop thinking about it.
