We all know the pineapple fruit is associated with prosperity and wealth because pineapple means ‘ong lai’ in Cantonese which literally means ‘fortune come’. Everyone knows pineapple tarts by its signature flower base and jam on top. However, Bite Dessert Bar sure raised the bar for pineapple tarts as they take rather unconventional shapes – rats, tangerines and peaches! Wow!
