Probably Malacca's most focused kuih maker, Bee Bee makes only kuih tart (spiced pineapple tarts) and runs her business from a home kitchen 13 mins walk from where the Equatorial Hotel is. Bee Bee bakes and bakes. One thing you can be sure of is that what you get is really right out of the oven. Mine were. One of the four boxes we bought was too salty (sense is that someone forgot and added salt twice to the dough), the other 3 boxes were pretty good.
Housed in a standalone old building is a home bakery that specialises in pineapple tarts.
Walking through the front door, I was greeted by the sight of the lady boss cutting a long, thin sheet of pastry into teensy-weensy strips for her two assistants to arrange in a criss-cross pattern on each tart. Seeing this painstaking process in action made me instantly feel her tarts are well worth their price.
The crust isn't the soft and pale melt-in-the-mouth type but the slightly crisp, salty and buttery biscuit sort which I prefer. It goes very well with her pineapple jam, which also managed to hit the right note between sour and sweet.
