Pichet ong's tangerine pies "kuey tarts"
Pies
Armenian cuisine
"Just to clarify, there are no tangerines in this dessert, nor does it look like a pie! Kuey tarts translates to pineapple tarts. In Singapore, this is a highly-prized gift for Chinese New Year. Traditionally, people give away fresh tangerines, a homonym for “gold” in Chinese. When Western-style baked goods were introduced, this round turnover was created to resemble the real thing, with its crackly orange egg yolk wash and clever little clove garnish on top. <br /> <br />Some tips: Don’t eat the clove! It is only a decorative touch and will definitely ruin your tasting experience. And be sure to roll the dough thinly. The dough’s primary purpose is to encase the filling." <br /> <br />Recipe by <a href="http://www.pichetong.com/">Pichet Ong</a href>. Photo by <a href="http://pate-eng.com/>Pate Eng</a href>.
