Where to find great pineapple tarts?

[sparks]

I usually buy my CNY cookies from Poh Guan opp Hong Lim Food centre. I like their pineapple tarts which are crumbly,buttery & not too sweet pineapple fillings. Their hae bee hiam is shiok but I think stds drop when it gets closer to CNY.


I have tried Ikea pineapple tarts before & I also find them cheap & quite good for the price.

I saw one site recommended the pineapple tarts at Gin Thye Bakery in Bishan. Anyone tried them?

Glory tarts from supermarket ? I used to love them but seems dry when i Bought the last two yrs...

I bought a fresh batch from NTUC Finest. Buttery good and pineapple is not too sweet. Maybe must buy the earlier batches and eat now. May go dry if you wait till CNY.


Glory open-faced type 400g going for $12.80. Ingredients stated are simple - no colouring, no shortening. Just flour, butter, eggs, sugar, pineapple.

I bought a Malaysian brand (Wang Lye) the other day and it was only $5.95 for 380g handmade pillow type. Wang Lye was good value though. No colouring and tastes quite OK. But they use margarine instead of butter.

The CNY fair at B2 Takashimaya Square has started. Today’s the first day. Next 3 days cardholders get 10%. Most of the past-year regulars are there except for a few.


A few others I came across in various blogs - Poh Guan Cake House (169 Macpherson Road); Gin Thye Cake Maker, which was mentioned by Sparks, (blk 513 Bishan St 13 #01-504) and Mai Xiang Bread House (blk 90 Whampoa Drive #01-76).

Baker’s Well is quite popular as well. Chock full of pineapple which some find too overwhelming. Shop is at East Coast, this year at the Taka fair too.

Baker's Well pineapple tarts are nice...my kids chomped down 10 easily within minutes. They are not sweet and not too buttery.
Just now, my mum bought from this other shop from the East too...cheaper than Bakers Well...I could taste the pineapple fibre...also not sweet and pastry is not dry. Will put on weight before cny
