Why are Pineapple Tarts used in Chinese New Year?
Serving any kind of sweet dessert is encouraging during Chinese New Year because it symbolises bringing a sweet life into the new year. The Hokkiens also consider certain fruits auspicious, and they are particularly fond of pineapple, ong lai in Hokkien dialect,which literally means " fortune come".
What are Pineapple Tarts?
Pineapple tarts are addictive bite-sized buttery goodies filled with pineapple jam. Made with butter and egg yolk, melt-in-your-mouth texture which is loved by many Malaysians and Singaporeans.
Its jam is usually sweet yet tart, and often made with fresh pineapples.
