The Pineapple Tart (凤梨酥/黄梨挞) is a festive staple for households in Singapore across all cultures. Traditionally, the pineapple tart took the form of an open-faced tart with a ball of pineapple jam in the centre. As more and more bakers joined the fray, the tart evolved into different shapes like round ball, pillow and even flower or animal etc...

The star ingredient is the Pineapple Jam, made with painstaking effort to slowly caramelise fresh pineapple, made fragrant with the addition of tropical spices such as cinnamon, star anise, and cloves. The pastry is tender rather than crispy, and the combination of melt-in-the-mouth buttery dough with the sweet and spicy jam, has ensured it remains a traditional delight in the region.

Some say the Pineapple Tart (黄梨挞) was created by the Peranakans, some say by the Eurasians, when the pineapple was first introduced to Asia by the Spaniards and Portuguese in the 16th and 17th centuries. The Portuguese were well-known for their pastries and tarts, and with the abundance of pineapples in the area, the fruit was a natural variation of jams to fill in the tarts. The use of spices originated from the cuisines of this region, resulting in the innovation of this pastry through cultural mixing.

In Hokkien and Cantonese families, pineapple translates to “Ong Lai” which means “Prosperity Come”, therefore giving these tarts to your loved ones during the festive season signifies the Gift of Gold and wishes of prosperity - an added reason to enjoy one of the best loved creations to come from the exchange of ideas from the east and west.

Bakkwa (肉干) is very popular in Singapore and Malaysia where it is traditionally eaten during the Chinese New Year. When Chinese immigrants brought this delicacy over to Singapore and Malaysia, it began to take on local characteristics. A notable example lies in the preparation of bakkwa, where the meat is grilled over charcoal rather than air-dried, imparting a smokier flavor to the meat. The Singaporean and Malaysian versions of bakkwa are also sweeter than their mainland China counterparts with many different variations having developed to suit local palates, such as chilli bakkwa.

Bakkwa (肉干) which means dried meat in the Hokkien dialect is among the popular treats for Chinese New Year. The savoury sweetmeat traditionally takes the form of thin square slices and is usually made from pork. Bakkwa varies in appearance from brown to red, depending on the colouring additives contained in the meat. The deep red colour is considered auspicious in Chinese tradition, symbolising good luck and believed to ward off negative energies. Hence, bakkwa is often presented as gifts to relatives and business associates during the festive season.

Since Bakkwa or rougan (肉干) is also a popular souvenir for tourists to Singapore to bring home. Manufacturers have started to vacuum seal their products so to ensure freshness and make it easier to pass through their country custom. Bee Cheng Hiang (美珍香) came up with this bite-size Mini EZ Pork (迷你休闲猪肉干) which you can soak in hot water before consuming.

If there are leftover bakkwa sitting in the fridge, give it a quick toast in the oven then make a sandwich out of it. Or if you are a person who likes to bake, chop up some bakkwa and use it to make something like this sticky Bakkwa Pork Floss Flower Bun (百花献瑞) which sis bought from Country Brot.
