Eating turtle's egg


I believe i am a very adventurous and daring person who constantly need new stuffs to stimulate my awareness of life. Even so, i still had some moments of doubt when 'confronting' this turtle's egg.
It was given by my friend who bought in Kemaman in our way back from Besut, Terengganu.
It looked like a ping pong ball with dented or sunken areas & it was kinda cute. The shell was thin and as soft as drenched 'Double A' A4 paper.
Strangely, the egg white was just like the raw chicken egg white which was transparent even after 1 hour of hard boiling. The egg yolk looked like duck's egg cut into half & the colour was very much similar also. Surprisingly, the egg yolk was as hard as the salted egg yolk & tasted like dried meat (bak gua). Both the egg white and egg yolk were immersed in some stinking fishy smell diluted liquid.
WOW, it was so disgusting, it made me nausea & wanted to vomit. This would be the first and the last time for me to taste the turtle's egg.
I couldn't understand why the people in the east coast want to sell and eat them. Worst still, they are selling the turtle's egg to the public in open area. Hmmmm, i thougt turtles are going to extinct and are protected animal, how dare them!!!!!!!!!
After all sorts of crap, it was still an once in a life time experience for me & i shall remember the taste till my legs in the coffin coz i'm still regurgitating it now & it's kinda hard to get rid of that smell.
