This is the Guan Guan Bakery Pineapple Cake.

It had an organic oval-like shape, measuring approximately 7 x 3 x 2.5 cm, with a light yellow hue and a faint margarine aroma.

On tasting, the shortbread was not particularly buttery but offered a pleasant crumbly, melt-in-the-mouth texture with a subtle savoury note that allowed the chewy, dense pineapple filling to take centre stage. The filling was smooth rather than fibrous and carried a sweet pineapple flavour, though it might have benefited from a touch more acidity for freshness. The ratio of pastry to filling was well judged, but the filling was less generous and drier than the version by Taipei Dainty Bakery. Nevertheless, it was tasty and remained worth repurchasing.

Overall, this was an enjoyable pineapple cake with balanced textures and sweetness, though it lacked the vibrancy and juiciness of the best examples.
