Tiedan is a famous snack in Tamsui Town, Taipei County, Taiwan. According to legend, Huang Zhangchao, who runs a small noodle stall by the seaman (Haijiao) called "Haijiao Hotel" by the ferry boat, was a rainy day. In the days when the business was not good, the stewed eggs were continuously returned to the pot because the sea breeze continued to blow the stewed eggs. After interviewing the Minsheng Daily reporter Lin Mingyu in 1983, he wrote a report titled "Grandma's iron egg, I just want to get it." The report attracted the attention of many people. Some media even came from Japan. After the interview, iron eggs became a famous snack in Danshui.
