How does a century egg taste like? I don't suppose it tastes like ordinary eggs?
There is a taste of eggs to it. The (no longer) white has a fairly neutral gelatinous taste to it, while the yolk is creamy and kind of savoury. It is not difficult food, it is quite nice, but it is a little bit odd with somewhat unusual flavours. They usually come with vinegary condiments.
A more familiar egg dish would be
tea eggs that taste exactly as expected, boiled eggs with a tea flavour. Much nicer looking and tasting than regular eggs.
