First Time Peeling Century Egg

I love century eggs but I haven't peeled one myself before. I bought some from Cold Storage few days ago.

Obviously, my kitchen table needs cleaning! ... The century is wrapped up in a plastic sheet. Actually, I was wondering do I need to cook it? I don't know if it is raw or cooked! How funny. 

My dear helped me googled and we discovered it is cooked. We also found that it is not easy to peel. 

The plastic sheet was removed and we can see the thick layer of clay, mud and rice husk. From the web, people reviewed that it was difficult to peel and the layer sticks very tightly to the egg shell.

I managed to peel it! It is not that difficult to peel for a first-timer. Maybe because I used too much force, causing the entire layer of clay and rice husk to disintegrate immediately...together with the egg shell! 

Here's what it looks like without the egg shell and the mud layer.  The egg white is the dark brown transparent jelly while the egg yolk is dark green.


Yes, it tasted the same as the one I ate at hawker centre!
