caption_attribution_description: Julia's Pineapple Tarts and Green Tea Longue de Chat. Very buttery crust that melts in your mouth. The pineapple jam was good too, but a bit stringy. Perhaps next time, we'd finely chop the pineapple instead of grating it.
context_page_description: Pineapple tarts or nanas tart are small, bite-size pastries filled or topped with pineapple jam, commonly found throughout different parts of Southeast Asia such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei and Singapore in various forms. The origins of the pineapple tart possibly derives from a Portuguese influence back in the 16th century when the pineapple, a fruit native to South America, was introduced by the Portuguese Empire to Asia, specifically the Malay Peninsula. A similar influenced pastry, known as pineapple cake or pineapple pastry, is also found in Taiwan, South Korea and Japan.
context_section_description: Considered a "festive cookie", pineapple tarts are especially popular during Hari Raya, Chinese New Year and Deepavali celebrations in Singapore and Malaysia. They are also sold all year round by commercial bakeries and souvenir stores serving tourists.
