In the past, typhoon shelters were places where fishing boats sheltered from typhoons. Because most fishermen live at sea, there are few vegetables on fishing boats. You can't go fishing for a few days, people can only eat seafood left over from the past, and housewives often use fried and thick cooking methods to cover up stale raw materials. This practice spread slowly and became a popular typhoon shelter food.
