If the pan de sal and galunggong serves as the econominc indicator in the Philippines. The tea eggs, are also used as a price index in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Mainland China. These hard boiled delight is usually boiled in tea leaves, with salt, pepper, soy sauce sugar and a whole lot more of spices.
