Chi Kan Coffin Bread Introduction
In 1935, the founder Mr. Hsu Liu-Yi opened a snack stall at a bustling spot (Shijia Li Ba), selling a variety of snacks including Japanese, Western, and Taiwanese styles. After the war, friends would occasionally visit the shop, specifically requesting different flavored snacks. Mr. Hsu had a sudden inspiration and decided to adopt the method of making Western-style fried pastry boxes. He filled these pastry boxes with a mixture of chicken liver, squid, and vegetables, creating a dish he called "Chicken Liver Board." When friends lifted the pastry box lid, they humorously remarked that it resembled a "coffin board." Taking the joke seriously, he considered "Coffin Board" to be a clever name and officially adopted it as the store’s sign in 1959, which unexpectedly became very popular.
