Chi Kan Coffin Board Introduction
In 1946, founder Mr. Hsu Liu-Yi opened a snack stall in Shengchang (Shakahariba), selling a variety of snacks including Japanese, Western, and Taiwanese styles. After the war, friends occasionally came to the shop specifically asking for different flavors of snacks. Mr. Hsu had a sudden inspiration to create a Western-style fried pastry box, filled with chicken liver, cuttlefish, and seasoned vegetables. When friends opened the pastry box, they joked that it looked like a "coffin board." Taking this joke seriously, Mr. Hsu thought "coffin board" was a great idea and officially named it "Coffin Board" in 1959, which unexpectedly became very popular.
