Private dining chef and content creator Shen Tan, 53, set out to look for the best pineapple tarts this festive season.

- Hedy Khoo Senior Correspondent

PINEAPPLE TART SHOWDOWN

She ordered and tasted 27 different tarts, paying for every jar herself to stay impartial, and ranked them using criteria she set for pastry, pineapple filling and overall balance.She posted her top five picks on her Instagram account @chefshentan on Jan 22 and released her full-length taste test video on YouTube on Jan 23.

Her aim was to find out if smaller local bakeries or home-based bakers make better pineapple tarts than large-scale commercial bakeries.

After three days of taste tests, she concluded the results supported her theory that small scale trumps big. “They have an artisanal mindset towards making tarts, so they usually don’t use additives or preservatives,” she says. This results in fresher tarts with shorter refrigerated shelf lives of two to three weeks.
