Something caught my eyes when I passed by Hans on the way home yesterday."Oooh.. pineapple tarts! So fast.. they are pushing sales for Chinese New Year goodies before X'mas is even here!" I thought.The amiable cashier lady told me that the tarts were new items and that they had a nice pineapple aroma and were very, VERY tasty. The tarts did look pretty decent. Being a pineapple tarts junkie, I just drank in her words like a thirsty camel and ended up buying a pack home to try.What a letdow

The crust, though not thick, was quite tough. It's not crispy either. There's quite a substantial amount of pineapple filling in each tart, but the filling was not fragrant. Even when I popped a whole tart into my mouth, there wasn't any pineapple fragrance oozing out. The filling did not have a tinge of the pineapple's natural sourish flavour too. It was sweet instead. Too sweet, in fact. And the sweetness was not of the fruit's natural sweetness, but rather, seems to derive from syrup.Overall, the tarts were disappointing...
I just had to somehow get the awesome semi-retired home baker mum to fire up her oven again for the festive goodies!
