Seemingly like the yam paste version of the popular pineapple tarts that we’ll eat during the Lunar New Year season, Whisking Bakes basically wrapped a pretty generous portion of yam paste wrapped with a thin layer of buttery pastry dough.

It might not have been love at first bite, as the snack sported a butter flavour that overpowered the delicate taste of yam paste. However, the taro came as a mild lingering aftertaste, so it might be best eaten with a cup of white tea by the side.

With freshness also meant that the tarts would have to be consumed almost immediately (or as what the label would say “3 - 5 days”). But I really felt that the tarts tasted best on the day I self-collected it from the shop.

With 11 pieces of these babies in a container for S$14.00, I would love to share them with the like-minded folks on the same day.
