(On a TV show)

It’s noon. Time for lunch.

Are you bored with eating the same food every day?

In today’s show, we’re going to present a Taiwanese dish.

And I’m sure that you’ll be interested in it.

Here, we are at The Top of the Hill Restaurant.

Let’s meet the owner, Mr. Wu.

Hello. Welcome to my restaurant.

Thanks, Mr. Wu.

I know that you’re a great cook.

We’re here to taste your special dish.

Its taste always surprises my friends from foreign countries.

Can you show it to us now?

Sure. Here it is—our famous century egg.

The name sounds interesting....

But it looks just like an ordinary egg.

Why is it so famous?

Well, let me show you.

I have a sharp knife here, and I’ll cut the egg in half.

Watch closely.

Gee! The inside part is black, and its center looks like glue.

Hold it close to your nose and smell it.

Hmm.... it smells like dead fish. I’m scared.

Don’t be scared. Just peel the egg and try it.

I think that you’ll love it.

Hmm.... Interesting.
