It is said that during 1661, a war between Holland army and Zheng Chenggong (a famous militarist) army was caused in Taiwan. Holland army attacked warehouse of food. Zheng used his intelligence to make out this Taiwan style pancake by applying the local materials in Taiwan. At first, this food just made for soldiers. But without expectation, this taste was spread over Taiwan Island. And now, it becomes the traditional Taiwan snack which is popular with locals all the time.
