TOP 4 Best Pineapple Tarts That are Worth the Extra Calories!
January 12, 2022
It’s that time of the year where we stuff ourselves silly with festive, Chinese New Year goodies YAY! Of all the scrumptious treats out there, one of our, and everyone’s top favourites has to be pineapple tarts. Yes, those oh-so-buttery treats balanced out with sweet tangy pineapple filling are worth every calorie.
There are so many places offering these tasty, melt-in-your-mouth snacks, but there’s only so much time (and stomach space) when it comes to finding the ultimate pineapple tarts with the golden ratio of pastry crust to pineapple filling. Now, don’t you worry, because we’ve done the legwork for you! Here are the four best pineapple tarts to indulge in this Chinese New Year!
Ding Bakery
Taking first spot on our list is Ding Bakery, which offers the best of both worlds in terms of taste and price. Known for their scrumptious, freshly baked homemade goods, Ding Bakery sends out pineapple tarts in a variety of flavours and shapes that will leave you craving for more. Their addictive pineapple tarts are made with 100% premium ingredients and no zero preservatives, so you know you’ll only be getting the best of the best.
The Award-Winning Premium Melt-In-Your-Mouth Pineapple Tart (Ball) ($22.90) says everything in its name. The fragrant bite-sized buttery treat can be popped into your mouth easily so you don’t have to worry about crumbs falling all over. I also thoroughly enjoyed the faultless pineapple filling which was neither too sweet nor sour — delicately balanced to perfection.
If you’re looking for pineapple tarts with a mildly creamy mouthfeel, I recommend the Melt-In-Your-Mouth Pineapple Ball (French Butter) ($20.90). If you prefer the old-school variation, the golden-brown Award-Winning Nyonya Pineapple Tarts ($18.90) will be right up your alley.
Ding Bakery is also rolling out three new flavours of pineapple balls: Pandan, Matcha and Charcoal ($21.90), as well as a Plain ($18.90) that doesn’t come with pineapple filling (perfect for the little ones!) and Premium Melt-In-Your-Mouth Mango Pineapple Roll ($18.90) made with Alphonso mangoes from India.
Enjoy a 40% early-bird discount (already applied on-site) from now until 17 January 2022 and free delivery on orders above $100. Visit their website to make your purchases.
Bengawan Solo
We’re no stranger to Bengawan Solo’s yummy cakes and pastries, and their array of CNY goodies are no doubt of the same quality. Their pillow-shaped Pineapple Tarts ($21.80/regular, $38.60/large) are one of our absolute favourites. Made with grated pineapples that have been reduced and caramelised over a slow flame, this is one palatable confection that will please all ages. Their ball-shaped Premium Pineapple Tarts ($43.80) don’t lose out in terms of taste either!

Bee Cheng Hiang
Bee Cheng Hiang is not only here to jazz up the festivities with their delicious bakkwa, but also their mouth-watering Pineapple Tarts ($18.80 for 240g, $22.80 for 450g)! Expect delightful pastry bases topped with a generous amount of pineapple jam that has a great balance of sweetness and tartness. They also have round Premium Pineapple Tarts ($18.80) and Pineapple Crispy ($16.80) that sees the same delicious pineapple jam encapsulated in a nice, flaky crust.

SingLong
Many of us have grown up with SingLong’s CNY goodies and they’ve been a constant in the houses I’ve visited over the past years. For those of you who love pastries that practically melt in your mouth, you won’t be disappointed with their Pineapple Roll. These yummy confections can get a bit messy, but they crumble beautifully in your mouth, unleashing a decadent flavour that melds wonderfully with the pineapple jam within.
Shop for SingLong CNY goodies on Shopee, Lazada and NTUC FairPrice.
Just because Chinese New Year this year won’t be as major as pre-COVID times doesn’t mean you have to indulge any less! And with the festivities fast approaching, we recommend making your orders ASAP to secure your stash of pineapple tarts. Here’s wishing everyone a happy (and yummy) Chinese New Year ahead!
