(On a TV show)
It’s noon, and time for lunch.
Are you bored with eating the same food every day?
Well, there won’t be any more boring food for us.
On today’s show, we’re going to present a special Taiwanese dish.
I believe you’ll be interested in it.
We’re here at The Top of the Hill Restaurant.
Let’s meet the owner, Mr. Wu.
Hello and welcome to my restaurant.
Thank you, Mr. Wu.
I know that you’re a great cook.
We’re here to have your special dish.
Its taste surprises many foreign visitors.
Shall we give it a try?
Sure.
Here it is—our famous century egg.
The name sounds interesting,
but it just looks like an ordinary egg.
Why is it so famous?
Watch this!
I’ll cut the egg in half with my sharp knife here and show you.
Wow! The inside is black, and its center looks like glue.
Hold it close to your nose and smell it.
Eww! It smells like dead fish.
I’m scared.
Don’t be scared.
Just peel off the shell and try it.
I think that you’ll love it.
Oh, that’s interesting.
