Where to find great pineapple tarts?

[Blobbi]

So far, have tried quite a few pineapple tarts (pui pui liao). The best from my limited sample size is the cheese coated one from Wei Yi at Taka and Cedele, so very wow-buttery (tks to the forummer who posted).


The only thing is, Cedele says to store the opened the tub in the fridge while Wei-Yi has no such instruction. The expiry date on Wei-yi is sometime in Aug some more, so, gulp… amd gonna be moving my biz to Cedele.

Have you guys tried the pineapple tarts made by inmates from The Hiding Place? Really good, and, you will be doing charity as well.


No kidding! The pastry melts in your mouth. The pineapple is not too sweet, and just the right fibrous feel. More to the tangy side. Very good indeed. The Hiding Place is in Seletar, and if they run out, they will replace in a while. I think there is a big team baking all the time.

If you guys want to try another one, this is a student of mine. He was featured on TV in one of those chefs competition shows, (I don't know what this is, I don't watch TV). He finished top 3. So, he is a very meticulous cook. He gave me a bottle and I thought it was pretty good. His is exactly 20g per pineapple tart.

I don't know how much these cost. I'll have to find out if you guys are interested.

The ones I love most? The Hiding Place, but I love the ones I make as well. I like to make my pineapple filing slightly wet, so you can't really buy these kinds in stores. They will not last on shelves, and have to be refrigerated. Also, homemade pineapple tarts are free of preservatives. Most important to me.

Yes, they bake only during CNY. They've been doing this for years... They will stop all activities on New Year's Eve, and they will only reappear next year.

I haven't bought this year, but it used to cost about 75 cents per tart, I forgot how many tarts there are in one can...

i had the Hiding Place pineapple tarts last year. not too bad. but its too far for me to go and this year there’s no one getting for me from there. I tried the XO Pineapple tarts from the Beauty World, its quite good too. not too exp, the small bottle - $12 for 35pcs. the big bottle is more value for money, i think its $20 for 50pcs.

Hi Tree nymph, do you know what \"XO\" means? Did they add XO in the jam? Thinking of trying to make...
