Century Egg Salad

Bold and unexpected — the century egg salad greets your senses with glossy wedges of preserved egg, their translucent jelly-like whites shimmering around creamy yolks that carry a deep, mature richness. A bright, savory dressing of garlic, herbs and a touch of acid and spice brings a fresh lift, cutting through the yolk’s mellow intensity and giving the dish a lively balance. Each bite offers a fascinating contrast: the bouncy, springy “white,” the silky-soft yolk, the zing of aromatic garlic and chili, and a whisper of refreshing herbaceousness. Served cool, this salad is at once exotic and comforting — perfect as an elegant starter, a bold side, or a curious treat for those ready to explore traditional Chinese flavours with a modern twist.
