krispy kreme galore

So here they are.. Fresh from KL.. the Krispy Kreme Donuts have finally arrived.. The 1st shop is in the Berjaya Times Square mall in KL and I hear they plan to expand to open another 19 more stores all around the country. Well, we’ll see.

Anyway, my sis bought me 2 boxes of Krispy Kreme Donuts.. (God bless her kind heart and I’m sure her place in heaven is booked..) And Yes.. that’s 2 dozen donuts…

And YES..!!!!, that’s 24 donuts..

She got me a dozen assorted

and another dozen of glazed.

There are basically 2 types of doughnuts: The normal yeast raised doughnut and the “cake” doughnut. Both taste excellent but both are SUPER-sweet… and I mean "Diabetes-inducing-SUPA-DUPA-SWEET"..!! and my tolerance level for sugar is quite high. I think the donuts are 90% sugar and 10% dough.. I actually went looking for water after eating donut#2…

The Original glazed was very light and the glaze sort of melts in your mouth. I didn’t really like that. Elpea like it though. But we both agreed that it would be quite nice just plain without any glaze at all. The Glazed chocolate cake was not as heavy as the ones from dunkindonuts. Its much lighter, less crumblier and quite moist. I didn’t quite like it this way though. Overall, i like the Chocolate iced kreme filled the best.

The rest were basically the same donut but with alternate toppings : Glazed cruller, Chocolate sprinkles, Chocolate iced glazed, Chocolate iced cake, Powdered strawberry filled, Almond, Hershey bits, etc..... So whats my verdict? You definitely cannot find a better yeast raised doughnut than the above. Bonus points for the lightness and texture of the doughnut itself. BUT, its just a tad too sweet.

On the other hand, if I had to choose a “cake’ donut, I would still go for the ones at dunkindonuts. This one is just my personal preference.

So sis, the next time you come back, you know what to do laah..
