Food Tasting : Nine Fortune Chinese Pineapple Cake 九福凤梨酥


Bit Bit went marketing with Pig yesterday and Pig found one of Pig's favourite dessert which is vegetarian, and it is pineapple cake (pineapple tart). It is not very cheap for 8 pieces of pineapple cake per packet, but it is quite rare to see vegetarian pineapple cake without egg, so Pig decided to buy it and Bit Bit decided to try it.


The vegetarian pineapple cake is mainly made of pineapple, wintermelon, maltose, sugar, wheat flour, vegetable oil, butter, milk powder and preservatives. As seen from the ingredients, one piece of pineapple cake is considered very high in calories at 111kcals. Bit Bit is horrified by the high amount of calories and decided that Bit Bit can only eat one piece maximum per day.


For the tastewise, the exterior crust of the pineapple is soft and yummy. The pineapple filling in the inside is a bright yellow colour, and is at an appropriate level of sweetness, though it does stick to the teeth slightly. The soft crust and sweet pineapple filling complement each other, and Bit Bit finds that it is quite nice for a vegetarian pineapple cake, considering no egg is added.

Considering the price for just 8 pieces of pineapple cake, Bit Bit finds it quite costly. However, Bit Bit feels that it can be bought occasionally and kept for some time since it is individully wrapped. It is also recommended for vegetarians who have been thinking of eating pineapple cakes.

A nice way to reward oneself once in a while when one is watching their weight.
