our friend went to Taiwan for holiday and look what they bought for souvenirs!
铁蛋. direct translate as "metal egg"
they are actually preserved quail eggs (big ones, i supposed, are normal chicken eggs) with herbal tea flavour. it tastes like those herbal tea eggs that they sell at those tea place in shopping complex. but the outer layer is really tough. like overcooked egg white. uhmm.. something like eating rubber band. lol. but the egg yolk part is very soft. apparently it's one of the Taiwanese famous/special tidbits. but now can buy at selected supermarket. i remember i bought it once at Jusco... love it. but cannot eat so much. very high cholesterol leh..
