Pineapple Tarts
Pineapples have always been the forbidden fruit in my life. Stung from a young age (& I am still YOUNG!), I eat pineapples with care, caution & great suspicion.
Pineapples Tarts, are different. I have eaten so many pineapple tarts, I could qualify to tell u where u could get the best tarts, what's wrong with some tarts, & who's tarts u should try begging for (oh, Limaran's mummy makes really yummy pineapple tarts!! *Slurps*), of course, who's the tart this year :P
See, it's Chinese New Year. One big affair that kept everyone busy, running about always having something to buy, picking up the best meat, the best food, the best everything.
It is really scary. U can't understand why the market and some shop would open 24 hours nearing this season. Everyone seems to have something to get done, everyone seems like they are at the snap point of their lives, but if u accidentally step on their toes, they might scream at u so loud, they might be better off smashing u with their bags of food.
Then when Chinese New Year finally comes, ho and below, all these craziness is transformed into a moment of peace, where the entire town looks like a ghost town, closed for the few days, its so quiet that the stillness is worrying.
On the auspicious day, the malls look like a ghost town.
I'm now wondering, what was the fuss all about?
