The fruit tart was monstrous and hard to get from the box when it was amongst other cakes unless you have big hands and long fingers, otherwise your hand is going to get sticky.
It looked difficult to eat so I didn’t bother eating it the normal way.

Instead I used a spoon and ate the fruit first which were: blueberries, mango, strawberries and kiwi.
Luckily the kiwi was sweet and the mango was not too sweet because I do not like mango.

Beneath the fruit I found a tiny square block of cake which was used as a pillar for the fruit placement and the cream was used to adhere the fruit to it.

The sweet soft sponge was fixed to the base of the tart by melted chocolate.
The tart base was quite shallow but the base was really thick and sweet.
I felt that the tart base was the sweetest item out of the fruit, cake and cream.


I still prefer the normal Western tarts with custard at the bottom, which are not so monstrous and not so messy to eat!
It seems the Chinese fruit tart version has cake in it as well and they like to pile up the fruit to make it look grand to make up for the custard.
