My mom works near this place thus, I get to eat their stuff pretty often.
I remembered when she first brought back some of their golf ball pineapple tarts. I was amazed because I have never seen such huge pineapple tarts before. Took one bite and I felt like I was in heaven. The crust melts in your mouth and the pineapple filling was just perfect. They were very generous with the fillings as well.
Recently, my mom bought back their beancurd tarts which I thought was really good (I love tau huey!!!). I am the sort which likes more filling whereas my brother prefers more crust. So I was really happy when I saw that their crust was rather thin. However, the crust was really soft even though it didn't break while I handled it. I guess it's because the tarts had to be refrigerated, thus the texture. It was still good nonetheless. Not too sweet and no eggs used.
As feizhu mentioned above, it would be best to order their popular items as they get sold out pretty quickly.

Cafe Le Pastry has been in existence for over 50 years and my mum occasionally buys a box or two of its Pineapple tarts home because I'm quite crazy over it.
Located at a nondescript shophouse just next to a Chicken Rice stall, it lies near the junction of Middle Road and Selegie Road, along the outskirts of town. Newspaper cuttings and photographs of celebrities and its specialties adorn the stall front, making for a rather cluttered and comical looking shop. Step through the narrow space and be greeted by a friendly lady who promptly informs you that all of their specialties are sold out and they have to be booked a day in advance. Lucky for me, they were in the midst of making a fresh batch and I only had to wait an hour to get my hands on their famous pineapple tarts and beancurd tarts.
Golf Balls aka Pineapple Tarts ($7 for 10) - My all time favourite Chinese New Year goodie, pineapple tarts! (Ok I like Bak Kwa as well) The balls were quite a size and came stuffed with copious amounts of not too sweet pineapple filling. The pastry itself was fluffy and a little buttery, making for an excellent dessert. To be honest, my auntie makes better pineapple tarts but Le Cafe probably sells one of the best commercially made pineapple tarts in the market.
Bean Curd Tarts ($5.50 for 6) - First looks at the tarts and I was suitably impressed by the homogeneous texture of the filling and the crust as well the aroma emitted. I wasn't too impressed in the taste department though. True, it was smooth and lightly sweet but the pastry wasn't firm enough for one. Also, it didn't taste out of the ordinary. Pretty much like eating Tao Huey, albeit of a slightly denser form. Having said that (I'm rather contradictory am I not?), it is still something new to me and I do like it enough to want to buy it again.
