100-year egg究竟美不美味？

暑假快到了，小明的外國好朋友Tom也即將來到台灣，小明想要帶Tom去體驗台灣夜市文化，並帶他去嘗鮮台灣傳統的特色小吃，從滷肉飯（Braised pork rice）、米糕（Glutinous rice cakes）、皮蛋（100-year egg）到稀飯（Rice porridge）和油條（Fried bread stick）等餐點
Tom一開始不敢吃皮蛋，因為覺得名稱聽起來很嚇人，但是挑戰之後，才發現皮蛋反而是他最愛的一道料理呢！

It’s almost Summer. Xiao-ming’s foreign friend, Tom, is coming to Taiwan soon to visit him. Xiao-ming is thinking to take Tom to experience a Taiwanese night market, with traditional, local Taiwanese food such as braised pork rice, glutinous rice cakes, hundred-year egg, rice porridge, fried bread stick, and so on. Tom refused to eat hundred-year eggs at first, because of the name, but after all, he found the eggs to be one of his favorites！

皮蛋又叫明朝特有的蛋，蛋被層層包裹著而且還被埋起來，這讓人看起來像被埋了至少一個世紀壞掉的一樣，因此而得名。

Hundred- year egg also called century egg, and Ming Dynasty egg, all of which are eggs that have been preserved by being covered with a coating of lime, ashes and salt before being shallowly buried for 100 days. The lime「petrifies」 the egg, making it look like it’s been buried for at least a century.
