Chi Kan West House is more than just a vegetarian restaurant, they are also specialized in making Lacto-ovo vegetarian pineapple cakes, "Blessing Fortune Longevity Pineapple Cakes". It’s good to see restaurants making effort to cater different diet preferences, especially such a Taiwanese signature dessert like pineapple cakes. We were also surprised to find out that Chi Kan West House is actually a hostel as well, so you can actually extend the whole experience from just a meal to an overnight stay.

原來赤崁璽樓不只是一家蔬食餐廳而已，一二樓是餐廳，三樓則是赤崁璽樓合法民宿哦！
While having our three hours dinner in Chi Kan West House, I already see the transformation of this beautiful estate from daytime to nighttime. But the fun doesn’t have to stop here, Chi Kan West House Hostel is open for business upstairs on 3rd floor.
想像一下，一大早起床可以走到環繞赤崁璽樓的陽台走道上，坐在赤崁璽樓民宿主人特別準備的搖椅上，喝杯現泡的熱茶或咖啡，享受一個不一樣的台南！
With some evening breeze, you can actually sit out the balcony and enjoy a little getaway from the business of downtown Tainan.
磨石子的階梯，就像外婆家的階梯，三樓開始就有特別用玻璃門隔起來，維持房客的隱私和安全哦！
Due to Chi Kan West House is an old estate, there is no elevator. In order to get to the hostel quarter, you have to walk up these old fashioned stairs.
每一個房間的門口裝飾都不一樣，古色古香，讓舊房子和舊
The third floor is completely blocked out with glass windows and door, so the hostel guests can have some privacy from the restaurant downstairs.
There are quite a few different rooms on the third floor. Each room has Chi Kan West House signature blue framed glass door and unique overhead decorations.
每一個家具都不一樣，雖然不屬於同一組，沒有一個一模一樣的，但是擺在一起卻一點都沒有違和感，鮮豔大膽的配色，給我一種東南亞熱帶風情的感覺。
The common area of the hostel must be my favorite part. I loved the uniqueness of each piece of furnitures, and how they go so well together in their own way. It really gives me a tropical vocation vibe.
連浴室都很講究，赤崁璽樓民宿的房間都是雅房，所以是共用廁所／浴室，雖然房間內的空間沒有很大，但是房間外的公共空間真的很大，也很漂亮，包括環繞式的戶外陽台／走道，是一種不一樣的住宿體驗。
The details were put into Chi Kan West House are amazing, I feel like I am in a movie set.
進來參觀那麼久，我們很開心地被環繞在五顏六色的家俱中，忙著拍照的我突然發現，赤崁璽樓竟然沒有任何電視，哈哈！進來那麼久才發現。。。真的慢半拍！但是老實說，在赤崁璽樓你不會需要看電視，光是到處尋寶就可以花上好一段時間了！
While exploring the Chi Kan West House, I finally realized that there is no TV in the entire hostel. TV is usually a must in most hotel or hostel, but I was so busy looking around and totally forget to look for a TV.
每一個房間都有窗戶，採光很好，房間的擺設很簡單，雖然門是玻璃門，但是每一個房門都可以單獨上鎖，在房間內也有一個簾子可以拉下來，敞開時感覺空間很寬廣，拉起來又可以保有自己的隱私，這樣的空間，很適合親朋好友一起包棟住宿！
Although the private room section of Chi Kan West House is quite simple and small, but you definitely would enjoy all the natural light through all those pretty windows. You don't want to stay in the room when you are staying at Chi Kan West House, the owner invites you to utilize the common room area, as well as the access to their balcony.
隨便一個小角落，怎麼拍怎麼漂亮！
Each door of the room is decorated differently!
自助式的咖啡機，隨時可以沖一杯Expresso或是熱茶！
Chi Kan West House also has automatic coffee maker and water boiler available for their guests. You could have a cup of tea or coffee anytime.
I love all the mix and match of the living space. It's definitely a place that would uplift your day.

「福祿壽 鳳梨酥」藍色的包裝馬上讓人聯想到所有藍色門框和窗框所構成的赤崁璽樓，很有設計感和一致性。
"Blessing Fortune Longevity Pineapple Cakes" comes in a pretty sky blue color. It really remind me of all the pretty sky blue colored door/ window frames in Chi Kan West House.
赤崁璽樓的「福祿壽 鳳梨酥」其實是有故事的，是老闆對自己阿嬤的愛與關懷所研發出的獨家配方，老闆的堅持：「阿嬤不吃的，絕不給客人享用！」，所以對於食材上選擇，當然份外小心和講究。
There is a very touching story behind this pineapple cake. The owners of Chi Kan West House originally created this recipe for their grandmother. They choose the best ingredients and omit all unnecessary additives in order to make "Blessing Fortune Longevity Pineapple Cakes". Provide something so meaningful and tasty to the customers is their main goal, because they would only serve the food that they serve to their grandmother.
成分、有效期限和營養標示都寫的清清楚楚，最讓人驚奇的是：左上角簡單到不能再簡單的「成分」，不愧是要給自己阿嬤吃的。
I was so surprised to "Blessing Fortune Longevity Pineapple Cakes's" ingredient list. It's so simple with wholesome ingredients.
一打開包裝，馬上可以聞到「福祿壽 鳳梨酥」外層酥皮的濃郁奶香味。
You can smell the crust of the pastry as soon as the package was opened.
外層酥皮薄薄的，從外觀就可以看到鳳梨內餡若影若現，有別於其他品牌的酥皮，「福祿壽 鳳梨酥」摸起來沒有油膩的感覺，但是形狀卻都可以保持的很好，不會因此而容易碎掉，赤崁璽樓使用法國小麥麵粉來製作「福祿壽 鳳梨酥」，酥皮除了濃郁的奶香味以外，還可以吃得到小麥粉的細小顆粒！
Compare with regular store bought pineapple cakes, "Blessing Fortune Longevity Pineapple Cakes" has much thiner crust. Since it's made from wheat flour, you can see some specks in the crust and the pineapple filling peaking through. "Blessing Fortune Longevity Pineapple Cakes" don't taste oily at all.
「福祿壽 鳳梨酥」的剖面圖，可以清楚看到土鳳梨的天然纖維，不但有鳳梨的香氣，還有土鳳梨特有的酸甜QQ的口感，酸酸的土鳳梨，增添了一個不一樣的味蕾層次，也讓品嚐的人比較不會膩。
You can see the fiber of the pineapple in the filling inside. "Blessing Fortune Longevity Pineapple Cakes" have a great balance between sweetness and sourness, and you can definitely tell it's made from wholesome ingredients! With a little sourness in the pastry, you wouldn't feel guilty finishing the entire dessert all by yourself.
身在台灣，小時候真的不知道鳳梨酥的特別，之前我們住美國的時候，我才體會到鳳梨酥真的可以代表台灣，每次寒暑假回來台灣，我們在美國的朋友、同學們都指定我要帶鳳梨酥回去，而赤崁璽樓的鳳梨酥，有別於傳統用冬瓜製作而成的鳳梨酥，多了一層獻給自己最親愛的家人的特別意義，吃得出來出鳳梨的酸甜味和纖維，奶香味十足的酥皮少了油膩感，讓人吃了之後不會有罪惡感！
P.S. 赤崁璽樓也包括在今年秋冬遊補助的名單中，想要體驗台南漫遊、不一樣的住宿體驗，真的超級值得來赤崁璽樓住一晚！
Taiwan is known for our pineapple cakes. If you ever come visit Taiwan, please add pineapple cakes to your must buy list! The chewy, sweet and sour pineapple fillings with the flaky crust can be a great snack option for anytime of the day, especially serving with black coffee or tea during the afternoon tea time. With so many pineapple cakes makers in the market nowadays, why not choose the one that actually use the wholesome ingredients without other unnecessary additives.
Tainan is a city with decades of history, and it's a city that worth spending a few days exploring. Make sure you consider staying at Chi Kan West House, so you can experience a different lifestyle of Tainan living!
