Pineapple Tarts Singapore – The Best MYIM Pineapple Tarts in SG [MEDIA TASTING]

Pineapple Tarts by Pineappletarts.sg

Pineapple tarts, one of the must-have snacks for Chinese New Year celebration in Singapore. Choosing the best pineapple tarts is a serious business here. Almost all traditional and online publications will create a list of the best pineapple tarts in Singapore.

So which one is the best? Well, I am not going to put this debate to bed, but I will recommend one for your consideration this year.

Thanks to the folks at Pineapple Tarts Singapore, I received three types of Pineapple Tarts at my doorstep during earlier this month. Those pineapple tarts are:
- Melt In Your Mouth – Pineapple Tarts (The Original Recipe - $22.90)

My Pineapple Tarts Goodies

My first impression of the Pineapple Tarts is their clean looking modern packaging. Instead of the traditional plastic container with a red top, the version is here is with a silver cover. Each piece of the pineapple tarts is displayed clearly.

LD and I started our tasting with Melt In Your Mouth – Pineapple Tarts. This original version has a nice buttery aroma, followed with moist and buttery pastry and deliciously well-balanced fillings. The size of the pineapple tart is about the size of regular fishballs.

Next is the YOlkLO – Salted Egg Pineapple Tarts. The aroma of the salted eggs immediately came to our nose. The salted egg yolk is folded into the pastry then shaped in the round shape around the pineapple fillings. The pastry tasted dryer compared to the Melt In Your Mouth version, however, the texture remains crumbly. The saltiness in the pastry enhances the sweetness of the pineapple fillings.

The final pineapple tarts that we sample is the Cheezylicious – Cheese Pineapple Tarts. When we open the bottle, the ‘powerful’ smell of the parmesan cheese filled our nose. The pastry’s moist level is lower than the other two, however, the texture remains crumbly. It feels like eating a blue cheese pineapple tart. I suggest this only for those that can handle strong cheese aroma.

This year, Pineappletarts.sg has introduced Siao LA – Mala Pineapple Tarts ($27.90). Imagine enjoying Mala hotpot or Mala Xiang Guo in dessert form. We did not try the Mala version, as we are not a big fan of Mala. If you are a daredevil and can take the heat, you can also try their Pineapple Tarts Singapore Spicy Challenge (Details available on their website)

Do take note that Pineapple Tarts from Pineappletarts.sg has No Preservative Added; Fully Homemade and Handmade. Each bottle contains 20 pieces of tarts. Free Delivery for orders above $100. As no preservative is used, the pineapple tarts Best Consumed within 6 weeks.

Almond Cookies

This New Year has been a hectic period for me. It seems the days have gone in a flash, it is almost February. The preparation checklist of things to buy and prepare for Chinese New Year are getting longer and longer. Don’t you wish that there is a shop that can deliver your Chinese New Year Goodies and delicious in taste as well?

I was contacted to do a review for CNYDelivery.com, delivering Chinese New Year goodies made by Poon Confectionary. I thought it was interesting and I agreed to it. My package contained Almond Cookies (杏仁酥) ($15.50 / $14.41), Pork Floss Roll Snack (肉松粒) ($16.90 / $15.72), and Cheese Pineapple Tarts (起司黄梨) ($17.90 / $16.65)

A few facts about Poon Confectionary:
  • It is established in 1971 in Pahang Malaysia.
  • In 2018, started their CNYDelivery.com in Singapore
  • Their Goodies contain No Preservatives and No Added Flavouring & MSG.
  • Every Single Cookie Homemade.
  • They are delicious. Their Almond Cookies are superb, according to Chubby Botak Koala.
  • One of the most affordable homemade CNY Goodies in Singapore and they are offering 7% OFF for 2019 CNY Launch Promo. 


Almond Cookies definitely got my two thumbs up. The exterior is crunchy, and once you bit into it, it just crumbles and melts in your mouth. The almond is fragrant, has a perfect balance between almond and butter. I brought it to LD office and our colleagues just keep popping them in like no tomorrow.

Pork Floss Roll Snack looks like a mini wanton. It is crispy externally and filled with sweet pork floss internally. Unlike the triangle version, the wrapper is very minimum as to allow the maximum pork floss fillings. Good to nibble on.

Cheers Pineapple Tarts, only for those who like a combination of pungent and sweet. The pastry is buttery and crumbly, while the layer of cheese coating externally infused the pungent aroma to this pineapple tart. The pineapple fillings are light in colour and not as sweet as I expected. I personally prefer the one with a darker colour and dense filling. I think I will prefer the Golden Pillow Pineapple Tart or the normal Pineapple Tart instead of the Cheese Pineapple Tart.
