10 days, according to Wikipedia.

Modern
Even though the traditional method is still widely practiced, modern understanding of the chemistry behind the formation of century eggs has led to many simplifications in the recipe. Today, soaking raw eggs in a solution of table salt, calcium hydroxide and sodium carbonate for 10 days, followed by several weeks of aging while wrapped in plastic, is said to achieve the same effect as the traditional method. This is because the chemical reaction needed to produce century eggs is accomplished by introducing hydroxide and sodium ions into the egg, regardless of the method used.

I sit corrected, although several can mean three weeks... so a minimum of a month?

What's that?


You miss tempeh, the fermented soybean commonly used as a meat substitute in vegetarian cuisine. It tastes nice for a burger, satay, etc. it is notable for the high content of protein.

Anyone here like mooncakes?

It’s something of a big seasonal/festival based thing in Hong Kong.

I’m not the biggest fan but lots of people like. Many moon cakes have eggs on the crust.

September-October is big on moon cakes

I like the ones without the egg in the middle. It goes well with milk or tea :)

Never had it, but it seems to have loads of sugar and fat. Hence, it can almost certainly get onto the list of bad foods that'll sabotage the quest for an athletic body if it is a habit more than just a rare treat.

My rather limited experience of Japanese sweets and cakes has not been positive. Weird tasting gloopy things.

Durian... yummy
I personally like the smell that everyone hates, but that might be just me. Durian is one of the best fruits there.
