Gartien 小田佳园 @ Lorong Macalister, Penang

Last year when I visited Taiwan, bought pineapple tart (凤梨酥) as souvenir. 
After eaten the handmade pineapple tart, it's my favourite food.
From time to time, keep on taste on local pineapple tart, but none of the stalls are selling the taste that I like.
Intro by friend, tasted pineapple tart from Gartien.. Marvellous... That's the taste and tart am looking at.. YoHoo...

The taste is even better than handmade pineapple tart from Taiwan.
It's not so sweet, just nice.
the pineapple inside is delicious and full with pineapple aroma when u chew the ingredient.

The soft tart skin is just thin layer that cover up the pineapple.

With the Chinese New Year prosperity design on the packaging, value added on this pineapple tart. This year 2014 the theme for Gartien is Peony /Mudan Flower /牡丹. New packaging designs - Elegant looking red & gold gift box, Chinese ink painting of ‘mudan flowers’ on its individual packing.
