Be different this year with your Chinese New Year (CNY) gifts. Gartien @ 小田佳園, Penang’s famous pineapple cake manufacturer has specially designed a Chinese New Year packaging for its pineapple cakes. Pineapple in Hokkien is called as ‘ong lai‘ which means prosperity coming which is a good meaning for the Chinese. The theme of the Gartien’s CNY 2014 is peony or also as mudan flower @ 牡丹. Peony is the traditional floral symbol of China and is also known as the flower of riches and honour. It symbolises omen of good fortune and a happy marriage.

Gartien’s pineapple cakes comes in individual packings for ease of usage and also gives a sense of exquisiteness. The individual packing comes with Chinese ink painting of mudan flowers. The whole box of 10 pieces of pineapple cakes has the elegant design of red and gold of peony. A very striking presentation indeed.

Gartien uses their own pineapple grown in Nibong Tebal, Penang. After collecting the pineapples, they will skin them and go through coring process and cut into cubes. The pineapple cubes will be cooked for 12 hours until it is golden. That’s where the sweetness and the juiciness of the pineapple filling comes from. 🙂

Gartien pineapple cakes are juicy and combined with the milky taste of its pastry. Heavenly. The pineapple cakes are good for tea time or after meals. 🙂
