About me: 2015 CNY Preparation

It's Chinese New Year soon and of course, pineapple tarts is a must have. So I thought, this year I would make some of my own instead of purchasing them from the bakery shops. I used to get pineapple tarts from Mirana Cake House. They sell super delicious pineapple tarts. I couldn't stop myself from eating it once I start; so usually I finish one whole bottle in a day or two. It's scary, I gained 5kg over the festive season that year. Two things I learnt: discipline and know when to stop. 

The saying goes 'the person who cooks wouldn't eat much of what he/she cooks'- not because it's not appetizing, in fact, it's just the opposite. Truth is, I also don't know why and I'm not even sure if I catch the phrase correctly- it's just what my grandma used to say. But it happens that I don't eat much of the tarts I make. It's really delicious though (not trying to brag). Here's a pic of my hard work: 


I had a hard time making them because the first few times I didn't get the heat right. Then my sister got the hang of it and it helped me with making this batch of soft and nicely cooked pineapple tarts. She is so patient, I would have given up long ago. 

Can't wait to let my family and friends taste them:D

I got the recipe from http://mimibakeryhouse.blogspot.sg/2014/01/this-is-one-melts-in-your-mouth.html. It's really nice! Try this if you are thinking of making pineapple tarts of your own!
