Behind Every Jar
Her Mother’s Recipe.
Made for the World.
Jyoanne Yin grew up watching her mother make pineapple tarts in Melaka.
Not as a business. Not for a bakery. As a gift — the kind you made by hand for the people you loved at Chinese New Year.
Her mother never wrote the recipe down. It lived in her hands. The ratio of butter that made the pastry dissolve rather than crumble. The hours spent stirring the jam. The patience that could not be rushed.
When Jyoanne’s mother passed away, she made a decision: the recipe would not be lost. She would learn it by heart, make it by hand, and share it with anyone who wanted to taste what homemade Nyonya pineapple tarts were always meant to be.
Every jar of Yin’s Nyonya Bites is that decision, made tangible.

I learned it with my hands,
the way she taught me.”
