Lily, I can tell how delicious your pineapple pork is! Not surprising that your family licked it clean. I would love to cook this dish too :)

yes, even if you use the canned pineapple, they are just as good
The presentation of this dish looks absolutely amazing! Another great post in this blog. I really like the combination of the sweet and healthy pineapple and the savoury pork meat. I will definitely try this recipe at home when I'll get round to do it. I think this is perfect when you have company because the great presentation will definitely impress them. Commission a professional translator if you have a recipe like this but it is not in your language.
Wao it looks very tasty,i will try.
I'm tempted to give these a go to give out as gifts for Chinese New Year! Do you know how long they will keep in a container?
Also, I don't have financier moulds or mini bread tins. Can I make these in mini cake moulds (I have silicon star shaped ones about 10cm in diameter)? Will this affect the baking time? Thanks!

i presumed you must be talking about 'financier'. The mini cake moulds are fine and the cooking time does vary according to the size of the moulds. if the moulds are shallow, the cooking time should be very short otherwise when overcooked it will be a hard cookie.
