Pineapple Tarts: a customer and a provider in a bright, modern setting

Pineapple tarts are the snack most Singapore households expect on the table at Chinese New Year, and the choice is wide, from dedicated tart specialists to heritage bakeries that sell them as one product among many. This guide gathers six makers whose own sites currently list pineapple tarts, with a short write-up of each. Descriptions rely on what each seller publishes about its tarts, so treat flavour and ingredient wording as the maker's claim. Check each site for current ordering dates, delivery notes and festive stock before you buy, because popular tins can sell out in the weeks before the new year.

1. Kele

Kele is a pineapple tart specialist rather than a general bakery, and its site is built around them. The range lists Traditional Pineapple Tarts, Golden Pineapple Balls and flavoured variants such as osmanthus, matcha, cocoa and sweet potato, plus seasonal limited editions. Its story page says the business began in 1983 as a family bakery in western Singapore and describes real butter and no preservatives, though those are the brand's own statements. Tarts come in gold tins, petite tins and souvenir boxes, which makes the shop handy for gifting. Its locate-us page names a Chinatown flagship, a Jewel Changi Airport concept store and a pop-up, along with retail stockists. Orders are placed through its online store, and corporate orders go through a separate email.

2. Old Seng Choong

Old Seng Choong is a modern Singapore bakery founded by pastry chef Daniel Tay and named after Seng Choong Confectionery, which its site dates to 1965. It lists two separate pineapple tart products. The original version is described as using pineapples sourced from Thailand and Malaysia, blended in-house and simmered for hours into a golden jam, wrapped in a butter pastry made with Japanese flour. A freshly baked version describes a fibrous, sweet and tangy filling from slow-simmered unripe pineapples. The shop also sells egg rolls, palmiers and pandan chiffon, so the tarts can join a mixed gift set. Its locations page lists counters at Marina Bay Sands, Paragon, Resorts World Sentosa, Changi Airport and Bukit Panjang Plaza, and the site takes orders online.

3. Bengawan Solo

Bengawan Solo is one of the most recognisable Nonya cake and kueh brands on the island, and its online shop lists Pineapple Tarts in a 330g pack. The brand's site says it began in a home kitchen and grew into a well-known name in Singapore and the region. Its stores page lists a large number of retail outlets in neighbourhood malls and hubs, plus Changi Airport and Jewel, so it is one of the easier places to pick up festive tarts without travelling far. The same shop carries kueh lapis, pandan chiffon and other cakes, which suits shoppers who want tarts alongside other traditional bakes. A Chinese New Year sale banner appears on its homepage, and orders can be placed online.

4. D'Bun

D'Bun is a Joo Chiat Road bakery best known for its charcoal-roasted buns, and its online shop also lists baked goods including pineapple tarts. The product page for its Signature Original Pineapple Tart says the recipe has been improved and describes bite-sized tarts with a buttery, soft pastry that melts in the mouth around a sweet and tangy pineapple jam. It says each bottle holds about 35 pieces. A Signature Original Pineapple Pillow, a different shape of the same idea, sits alongside it, and the shop also lists festive cookies such as almond and cranberry macadamia. D'Bun is a good fit for shoppers in the east who want to buy at a neighbourhood shop, since its site shows daily opening hours and an enquiry route.

5. Makko Teck Neo

Makko Teck Neo is a Peranakan food business that markets its Nyonya kueh and its pineapple tarts side by side, which gives it a more heritage-led feel than a typical festive cookie brand. Its menu lists Pineapple Tarts in a pack of 24 and Mini Pineapple Tarts in a pack of 50, and the site describes a pineapple pastry with a melt-in-your-mouth texture and home-made pineapple jam. The business says it offers home-style Nyonya kueh and food, and the site shows 2026 copyright and recent seasonal promotions, so it appears to be actively trading. It rests on Mondays, according to a banner on the homepage. Shoppers who want tarts plus kueh for a Chinese New Year spread can order from one place.

6. YU Cookies

YU Cookies is a homegrown online brand with a dedicated YU Tarts collection that includes pineapple tarts alongside kuih kapit. Its shop describes its mission as healthy, yumptious and sustainable, and its site says the brand launched in April 2023 and was featured in The Sunday Times in April 2025. The site notes that pineapple tarts, mooncakes and larger orders need express delivery for the right condition, so plan ahead rather than leaving it to the last week before the festival. This is a delivery-led shop, with a store locator page and a contact page for bulk orders and collaborations. It suits buyers who prefer to browse online and want tarts from a brand that also sells cookies in themed collections.

How to choose

Decide whether you want a closed pastry tart or an open-face one, and check the product description. Makers describe their own style, so read the wording on the product page rather than assuming, and look at photos where they are provided before ordering a large quantity for guests.
Look at how the tarts are packed. Tins, bottles and gift boxes suit gifting, while smaller packs suit family snacking. Check the number of pieces the seller states on the product page so you can compare quantities fairly between shops rather than judging by the pack size alone.
Read the delivery notes. Some sellers say pineapple tarts need express delivery to arrive in good condition, and festive orders often close early. If you are posting a gift, confirm the cut-off date on the maker's own page and allow extra time around the new year rush.
If you prefer to try before you commit, pick a seller with a physical shop or counter in a mall near you. Store lists on the makers' sites change, so check the locations page for the current outlets and any seasonal pop-ups before making the trip.
Check the seller's own statements about halal status, allergens and ingredients if these matter to your household. Not every site states them, and LocalRank does not verify them, so ask the seller directly and request the information in writing before buying for guests with restrictions.
