While these golden pastries are a treat for pineapple lovers, they are less so for those who dread eating the fruit. If you’re one of those who fall in this category, here are some good news.

BoTart SG, a Singapore company run by 3 friends, has kosong pineapple tarts which are basically your typical CNY snack, but without the pineapple jam filling.

Created by 3 Singapore friends who dislike pineapple fillings

The concept of having a pineapple-less pineapple tart started with 3 Singaporean friends who absolutely disliked eating the fillings in traditional pineapple tarts.

The trio told CNA Lifestyle that they grew up eating only the buttery crust of pineapple tarts and would always remove the filling, wrap it in tissue and throw it away.

Determined to end their ‘misery’, the 3 ended up ordering pineapple-less pineapple tarts to secretly eat at home — under a duvet with a flashlight.

 

Their passion for these tarts inspired them to create their very own kosong pineapple tarts — now selling under their shop BoTart SG.
