Century egg or pidan (Chinese: 皮蛋; pinyin: pídàn), also known as preserved egg, hundred-year egg, thousand-year egg, thousand-year-old egg, and millennium egg, is a Chinese cuisine ingredient made by preserving duck, chicken or quail eggs in a mixture of clay, ash, salt, lime, and rice hulls for several weeks to several months, depending on the method of processing.
Through the process, the yolk becomes a dark green to grey colour, with a creamy consistency and an odor of sulphur and ammonia, while the white becomes a dark brown, translucent jelly with little flavor. The transforming agent in the century egg is its alkaline material, which gradually raises the pH of the egg to around 9, 12, or more during the curing process.[1] This chemical process breaks down some of the complex, flavorless proteins and fats, which produces a variety of smaller flavorful compounds.
Some eggs have patterns near the surface of the egg white that are likened to pine branches, and that gives rise to one of its Chinese names, the pine-patterned egg.

i have seen malays eating this egg, if not mistaken they call it "telur pindang". should be no problem. but the shop halal or not?

pei tan kai porridge no good lah better eat pei tan sau yoke porridge

traditionally it is preserved using horse urine,
later substituted with ammonia.

harrooommm!

Frog porridge la best with lala,salted egg.
Kung po style..

as long as they dont know it's ok

peidan chuk usually got babi de wor

skin egg

seems ok... no haram ingredients involved in the making.. should be ok...

but the pei tan chicken bubur... the chicken is halal or not?

u <insert race> sibeh mafan one la.

cannot eat then dun eat la.

remember to bring them eat duck PIDAN instead of chicken PIDAN.....duck one is the best

China use children's pee

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/03/29/...E82S0EE20120329

It's a matter of taste, really. I remember a documentary where they had westerners unable to stomach it while an Asian family had the same reaction to aged cheese.

nvm, in china.. pee is medicine

Duno bout them.. but I heard Century Gothics LUUUUUUUUUUUUV Century Eggs.

ya... i think like durian,... mat salleh said it smell like cat's pee...

Do they still use horse piss to preserve century eggs?

peidan gaizuk enough...saoyuk is babi bro

I like Century eggs, tasty.
I like Durian, tasty.

Century eggs is haram meh? I don't think so. Dun have vavi and Alcohol also, why haram?

i prefer telur pindang.

not halal

the bowl and pot got babi

bring to chinese muslim restaurant laa. why so difficult..

no dont then they will cacth you and say you menghina them
better dont you have been warned

my fav...

but my mum will scold me when c me eating

she said afterall something put there for so long till black color. sure not some healthy stuff.

You have to wonder at the curiosity of ancient people finding the technique and the will to eat a black egg for the first time.

beware!

you bring these muslims there...
tomorrow they come your house beat your mother burn your house...
insulting their religion...

why bother,
bring them eat nasi lemak la

thias

got the zhi yao zhar or not?

i think during ancient time there's no fridge or vacuum air tight plastic bags, chemical etc to preserve food.
that's why ppl resort to preserve food (in this case duck eggs) with clay+salt+lime et al the natural stuff, hence created "century eggs"

don't think.
your imagination is irrelevant.
you think too much.

It all happened like this

in long long ago times,
chinese of the teochew clan used to rear ducks at their backyard
which happens to be their open toilet too.

them were amazed some eggs collected tasted somewhat different
not good, but pungent and somewhat still edible.

later they found out those eggs were accidentally soaked in their urine

they eat those good eggs and sold those urine eggs to the market as medicine eggs.
surprisingly, the marketing plan worked.

thereafter they purposely soak those eggs in urine

HARAM!!!

cos got alcohol

haram ... if blur ask mufti for best answer ..

Telur Pindang is like herbal egg laaa, different thing

i quite certain you are speaking in front of your reflection

Telur Pindang.. biasala



Kalau cara pembuatannya takde campur benda2 yg haram bagi muslim.. so, makan aje la

comparing telur pindang to century egg is like

comparing nasi lemak to nasi putih campur chili sos.

Anything that changes to black = BAD.

Tell her dark chocolate is good for the heart.

Oh.. if so, asalkan takde benda2 yg dilarang dalam Islam dalam proses tu. Boleh je makan, why not..!

Wanna try la.. mahal tak..?

lu pigi itu jusco punye telur punya seksyen

ade jual itu mini century egg
telur puyuh punye la....

jusco halal mah

sumbat je bang...

i saw melies go tapao char kuey tiao ..

then only i know keropok he mean is the pork fat cube that being deep fried

itu indon christian la...
baru dapat mykad from najid

Pidan is just like Ikan masin, naturally preserved.
no non-halal ingredient, no problem to eat.

Telur Pindang and Telur Pitan

chikin i think halal.

1malaysia !!! kenot picky


but he like bubur cina

alaaa meleis..we all eat ur food,u all eat la our food..not fair la like dis..cakap 1meleisia

I highly advise belacan race to stick with eating belacan to avoid halal issue, ok thx bye!

this isn't the same as telur masin?
isn't it wrapped in clay too?

just affraid the ingredent effect the halal case
