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.
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.
Foc Angpow packets.
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.
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.
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.
ReplyDeleteNo, 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.
DeleteOh! I see!
DeleteYa 👍
Deleteu already ate 80% of the pineapple rolls?? 😮...Tht's fast considering u jst received them on last Thurs!
ReplyDelete80% of one of the containers. The one with the crushed pastry crusts.
DeleteI like the containers used for packing the pineapple pastry. I too prefer pineapple filling that is fibrous and sourish.
ReplyDeleteDo you have many such Containers at home?
DeleteNice containers. I love keeping such containers. Useful to keep stuff.
ReplyDeleteI have few tubs of pineapple tasts this year. Finished 1, 3 more tubs to go. Haha. Happy Chinese Niu Year!!
Do you have many such Containers at home? 3 more tubs of pineapple tarts? Very satisfying sweet pineapple tarts that you have there. Enjoy!
DeleteSo creative! Back print of ang pow joins nicely with front print. Those containers are so pretty in flower shapes!
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
DeleteThat's the problem with online delivery. Have to be prepared for less-than-perfect items.
ReplyDeleteThe tins are pretty.
They got write there on shopee. If cannot accept less than perfect items, please don't buy.
