Mika Pineapple Pastry

Back in 2016 and 2018, I bought pineapple pastry from Mika Gift Shop so when I noticed that they are on shopee, I bought 2 sets of 2 containers of pineapple pastry in a box online to be delivered from Johor to kl.

Placed my order online on Monday and received them on Thursday at around 8.20 pm. The service is good. I am amazed at how hard the delivery specialists work to get our parcels to us in a timely manner.

I received two sets of these two containers in good order. No dents.

This set is for my own consumption. Pineapple rolls and pineapple balls.

This set I gave to my friend. Her review is that the pastry is powdery with a slight eggy taste as they brush egg on the pastries to give the golden colour. She said that the jam fillings are not as good as the home made fibrous jam fillings of these pineapple balls.

I ate some pineapple rolls and I agree that the pineapple jam fillings are not as good as the homemade ones because this pineapple filling is more gooey and sweet with almost no pineapple fibers and not sourish.

one container of pineapple rolls look like this so I kept it for myself and ate 80% of them. Seems like this container experienced some rough handling before it was packed because the other containers have intact contents. If the parcel has been roughly handled then all the 4 containers should have content looking like this. I kind of expected this so I was fine with it. Still edible.

Foc Angpow packets.

Look at how the back print of the Angpow joins to the front print. Nice! So attentive to the details for this ang poe's designer.

Total price for 4 containers of pineapple pastry from Mika inclusive of delivery fees all the way from Johor is MYR 130.26 which means on average, it is about MYR 32.55 per container. The Yong Sheng entry above is 4 containers of assorted cookies that I bought for my friend.

The pineapple rolls and balls are from Mika Premium www.mika.com.my which is the link.

  1. No wonder the tins are of the same shape - they are also from Yong Sheng. I find their stuff nice enough but there are other nicer ones around, homemade (they do deliveries too) or from some local bakeries.

    1. No, they are not from Yong Sheng, they are from Mika. In the photo with the price, please refer to the bottom entry. I think I better crop the photo to remove the yong sheng entry and repost.

  3. I like the containers used for packing the pineapple pastry. I too prefer pineapple filling that is fibrous and sourish.

  6. That's the problem with online delivery. Have to be prepared for less-than-perfect items.

    The tins are pretty.
