Are you still going JB for your CNY shopping ?

[DACH]

Can eat or not. I ever had awful pineapple tarts from one of our local supermarket. So i swore never to buy from supermarket. Only from recommendations or taste testing or confectionary.

 

Or home made ones

Agree ever bought something from local supermarket, the pineapple tart taste like pineapple extract with lots of sugar

 

Better spend abit more for more heathier and fresh tart

Pineapple tart must really pay for quality ones. Or else I don't even bother to eat.

It's not like love letters or prawn rolls. Most or less taste the same.

Not easy to find nice and not so sweet pineapple tart. You have any recommendation ah?

I'm not an expert. But i find Le Cafe one probably the best manufactured one.

Probably the best tarts I've had that are not home made from scratch.

 

The only downside is

a) must buy a lot, i think 5 bottles

b) must reserve long in advance

c) It's a bit too big, it's the size of a pingpong/golf ball.

For me, the most important part of the pineapple tart is the flour base, not the pineapple mix at all. It must be soft and melts in your mouth type. Not like eating hard biscuit with pineapple jam, yucks.

 

I dont mind sunflower, golden pillow or ping pong ball shape. As long as the flour base is soft and it simply melts away in the mouth and the pineapple mix appears and coat my mouth with sweetness. Not too sweet of course.

 

 

Where to find?

Heard about this pineapple is nice but i never able get to order cause always missed the ordering date every year. Cause dont know which month they started to accept order? 5 bottles indeed a bit too much, unless you plan to give it to people.

i think i went in december that time and that year, CNY was february.

Their cutoff date is usually 30-31st Dec apparently.

 

For me, still ok lah. Cos i just give one bottle each to my sis, in laws, parents. ownself makan 2 bottles. 

But my kids didn't like pineapple tarts then, so i had to finish them haha  

Dunno how to appreciate good stuff

Read a lot of support asking residents to stop patronizing retailers in Malaysia yet... the congestion is still so bad. Think everyone is throwing smoke bombs hoping they get by the immigration smoothly.

Only go Senoko there for BCH bak kwa and oranged from next door. Parking so much better and road is 2 lanes each side. Also got free mobile toilet even thou it stinks.

Indeed the parking at Woodlands Terrace and Woodlands Loop really terrible, no place to park. And also very crowded at the whole stretch of the road there, like the things there are free.
