Weird that you mentioned it today. I just made one for the first time today after visiting the Chinese supermarket (I am not East Asian).

Century egg is definitely one of the weirdest smelling things I have ever eaten. It smells like H2S. Took me back to my chemistry lab sessions.

I cant recall that much of my high school organic chemistry but I would think that H2S would be a degradation product of spoilt eggs
