Did you know that ‘pineapple’ literally translates to ‘fortune come’ in Hokkien? Pineapple tarts are a treat beloved by all races, and now bakers are getting creative with them. There is a plethora of flavours, some of which may sound weird but definitely have an attraction to them. Ultimately, the best pineapple tarts lie in their pineapple filling and crust so here are our top six favourites for the best pineapple tarts in Singapore.
Ding Bakery
With several mentions over various food blogs and reviewers, Ding Bakery prides itself on blowing their customers’ taste buds with their amazing Pineapple Tarts (Ball). They have even guaranteed that this is the snack to impress house guests with. Their pineapple tarts are amazing because they melt in the mouth — making the tarts absolutely soft, creamy and tame to the tongue. Often, when this happens it tends to leave an oily and icky feel on the tongue but Ding Bakery ensures that none of that happens with all of their products.

Delcie’s
As delicious and addictive pineapple tarts are, sometimes the guilt kicks in when we realise that we may have overindulged. For the health-conscious and those with strict dietary requirements, Delcie’s is perfect for you! They offer vegan, eggless and/or diabetes-friendly Chinese New Year cookies and cakes for everyone to enjoy guilt-free! What’s amazing about their pineapple tarts is that they use fresh pineapples without adding any form of additional sugar to enhance the taste. So yes, the sweetness solely comes from their top-quality, ripe pineapples. However, please note that they’re selling out fast so be sure to get them ASAP!

Butter Studio
Cheese pineapple tarts aren't something new and many have tried recreating it, but how many of them have successfully perfected it? The issue with these cheesy pineapple tarts is that often the cheese flavour is hardly there or that the combination itself doesn’t mix well. Thankfully, Butter Studio’s Parmesan Cheese Pineapple Melts are simply to die for. It has the perfect combination of sweet and salty so it eliminates the ‘sick of it’ feeling that we often get from excessive snacking. Additionally, close to its name, they only use top-quality butter in all their products ensuring a silky feel in their customers’ mouths.

Speaking of fusion pineapple tarts, Old Seng Choong has managed to create the perfect Bak Wa Charcoal Pineapple Tarts! Shaped in adorable bite-sized ingots, people have left positive reviews saying that these pineapple tarts balance out the sweetness by adding something savoury and a slightly spicy taste into the tarts. Additionally, their pineapple tarts are individually wrapped — making it extremely hygienic and serving perfectly well as gifts! However, another thing worth mentioning is their range of Singapore-inspired cookie flavours; from their Goreng Pisang Cookies to their Cereal Prawn Cookies. Their shop truly captures the essence of Singapore in a bite!
