Chihkan Coffin Board Introduction
In 1935, the founder Mr. Hsu Liu-Yi opened a snack stall in Shengchang (Shakaliba), offering a variety of snacks including Japanese, Western, and Taiwanese styles. After the war, friends occasionally visited the shop specifically asking for different flavors of snacks. Mr. Hsu, inspired by their requests, adopted the method of Western-style fried pastry boxes filled with seasoned chicken liver, squid, and vegetables. He created a dish called "Chicken Liver Board" by placing this mix into hollow pastry boxes. When friends opened the pastry box lid, they playfully commented that it resembled a "coffin board." Taking this joke seriously, Mr. Hsu thought it was a good idea and officially named the dish "Coffin Board" in 1959, unexpectedly leading to its immense popularity.
