My favourite pineapple tarts and could possibly be one of the best in Singapore!
The store used to be in chinatown and it moved, so for quite a period of time, we couldn't find out where the store was situated at. My mum used to buy it in bulk, especially during Chinese New Year for my family and relatives. Usually half of it was for me because I would end up gobbling most even before the festive season started (as you can see in the picture, half of the tarts were already gone before I realised I needed to take a snapshot of it)!
As opposed to other pineapple tarts that used jam-like pineapple, this shop utilises real pineapple. You could literally taste the strany pineapple fibres and the shop is really generous with the pineapple. The tart is neither too hard nor too soft-- it's just nice. It doesn't crumble when you bite into it and you don't feel like you're going to drop a teeth trying to bite through the tart.

A big box of pineapple tart costs $17. They used to cost $15, but the price probably increased due to the pricier location the shop moved to. I got a small packet of almond biscuits free. The biscuits are are crunchy and filled with bits of nuts. Other than pineapple tarts and almond biscuits, the shop also sells prawn rolls.
