Penang Now Has Century Egg Cheesecake with Ikan Bilis and Peanuts!

Who would have thought century egg + cheese + Ikan bilis + peanuts would be so awesome?!

For those who are wondering, a century egg is actually an egg that has been preserved for four to five weeks in a mixture of salt, lime, and ash. I have never tasted it myself, but my friends tell me it goes very well with porridge.

But drop everything people! A cafe in Penang found a new way to enjoy century egg… by adding it to their cheesecake!

Yup, you read that correctly, the Black Moon cheesecake is now being served at Moody Cow Cafe in Penang. You won’t be getting oreo layers in your bite but instead, a strong taste of the century egg.

The creamy cheesecake comes with a chocolate base, topped off with anchovies and peanuts. If you are wondering how it tastes like, a food blogger who tried it said that it was super rich and not at all bad tasting, although it is an acquired taste.
