In this guide
Pineapple tarts come in different formats and flavours, so the best choice for Chinese New Year depends on what you enjoy and who you are buying for. Before ordering, compare the product itself, the quantity in each pack and the arrangements for receiving your order.
This guide covers those practical checks, with examples from the CNYGoodies.sg pineapple tart range. It is a shopping guide, rather than a ranked tasting test of Singapore bakeries.
What to Compare Before Buying Pineapple Tarts
Pastry, filling and ingredients
Think about the tarts you have enjoyed before: did you prefer the pastry, the pineapple filling or the balance between them? Use the description and ingredient list of the particular product to narrow your choice. An open-faced tart and an enclosed ball look different, but their format alone does not tell you how sweet or crumbly they will taste.
Check the stated ingredients and allergen information for everyone sharing the tarts. If information you need is missing, ask before ordering. A flavour name or a description such as “melt-in-your-mouth” does not establish dietary suitability or nutritional content.
Quantity and price
Check whether the listing gives a net weight, a piece count or both. Different jar sizes are not automatically comparable, and the same number of jars may contain different quantities. Compare the stated pack information alongside the price, then include delivery charges in the order total.
If you are buying several jars, separate those intended as gifts from those you plan to open for visitors. That makes it easier to choose quantities without assuming everyone will eat the same amount.
Ordering and fulfilment
Choose an arrival or collection arrangement that fits your visit or gathering. Read the current delivery and self-collection information and confirm the options available for your order. A previous season’s delivery threshold or promotion should not determine your current plan.
Popular Types of Pineapple Tarts in Singapore
Nyonya open-faced pineapple tarts
Nyonya Pineapple Tarts have pineapple jam on top of a pastry base. Consider this format if you enjoy an open-faced tart with the filling visible.
French Butter Pineapple Ball
The French Butter Pineapple Ball is an enclosed ball-style option. Its current product name identifies French butter; check the individual listing for the ingredients and pack details rather than extending that description to every tart in the range.
Pandan Pineapple Ball
The Pandan Pineapple Ball has pandan pastry around pineapple jam, according to its product description. Choose it when you want a pandan-flavoured alternative. It is a different product from a gula melaka or ondeh-ondeh snack.

How to Choose for Your CNY Plans
For your household
Start with a style you know you enjoy. If you want to try another flavour, choose it alongside that favourite rather than assuming a larger assortment will suit everyone.
For visitors and gatherings
Ask about preferences and dietary requirements where possible. If you serve more than one variety, keep them separate and keep the packaging available so guests can check the ingredients. Choose quantities according to your own plans, including other snacks you will serve.
For gifts
Check what presentation is included with the selected product and whether any gift packaging needs to be ordered separately. Confirm the recipient’s preferences and requirements instead of choosing purely from the appearance of the jar. Allow for your intended handover date when arranging fulfilment.
Final Thoughts
The best pineapple tarts for your celebration are those that match your preferences, provide the quantity you need and fit your ordering plans. Browse the current pineapple tart range to compare the available formats and flavours, then check the details of each product before buying.
