Imagine biting into a golden, melt-in-your-mouth pineapple tart stamped with the Chinese character “福 – Fu” (fortune) , a treat that carries not just sweetness, but a whole story of love, heritage, and hustle.
That’s Swee Bee Malaysia’s very own pineapple tart sensation that turned a mom’s homemade recipe into a national icon loved across Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, Deepavali, and Christmas.
🍍 A Legacy Baked with Love
It all started in David’s childhood kitchen, where the aroma of his mom’s tarts filled every festive season. Inspired by her warmth and precision, he revived her recipe years later and took it to the next level.
In 2010, David introduced Malaysia’s first square-shaped pineapple tarts (yes, the first ever!) a bold move that earned Malaysia Book of Records recognition in 2023. Each tart comes stamped with “福 – Fu,” symbolizing fortune and family reunion.
As David puts it,
“Wherever you are, you’ll always come home bringing fortune with you.”
This isn’t just dessert. It’s an emotion. It’s home. It’s Malaysia. 🇲🇾
🌏 When Heritage Meets Innovation
What makes Swee Bee special isn’t just taste, it’s storytelling through flavor. Rooted in Baba Nyonya traditions and shaped by Malaysia’s multi-racial culture, these tarts embody “Malaysia Truly Asia.”
Each bite connects Chinese, Malay, Indian, and indigenous heritage all wrapped in buttery pastry and tangy pineapple jam. From Peranakan kebaya motifs to Kadazan-Dusun harvest vibes, Swee Bee’s packaging celebrates Malaysia’s diversity in the sweetest way possible.
No wonder tourists now call it “Malaysia’s must-buy souvenir.”
💪 From Café Dreams to Pandemic Comeback
David’s journey wasn’t all sugar and sunshine. Starting as a café owner under Nooks by Baker Dave, he faced the reality of business managing staff, sourcing supplies, and staying afloat.
Then came COVID-19. Sales dropped to 20% overnight. But instead of giving up, he pivoted. Turning crisis into opportunity, he built a central kitchen focused purely on Swee Bee pineapple tarts and business soared back stronger than ever.
With a supportive family and unstoppable drive, David proved that resilience is the real recipe for success.
