Chap Goh Mei


Since it is the last day of the 15-day long Chinese New Year, a day known as Chap Goh Mei, I'm celebrating by putting up this picture of my favourite lunar new year snack: pineapple tarts. This are not just any pineapple tarts but tarts baked with love and skill by my sister-in-law and her maid. The pastry is slightly crisp with a glazed top and the pineapple jam is chockful of pineapple and not too sweet. This little tarts are, I am sure, a big cause of my expanding waistline this year.

The post-CNY diet starts tomorrow!
