There are many iron egg shops in Tamshui, but this is the most famous iron egg in Tamshui.
Some said, if never buy GrandMa's iron egg, it is just like never been to Tamshui.
What to buy: There are 2 types of iron egg, chicken egg and small bird egg. It is very different from the century egg... Tamshui iron egg hard but tasty.... of course it is for those who love it... if you are not, my advise, don't take it.
