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..

aw, nuts...

My sis sent this picture to me to taunt me. 5more days to go before I get my own dozen.. Yes, DOZEN…… & I’m NOT sharing..!!!! :-) My sis has been given very specific instructions “Come back with donuts or don’t come back at all..” :-D

BIG APPLE DONUTS @ gurney plaza

Was at gurney during the weekend and was surprised to see the “big apple donuts” where “pastasia” used to be.. Actually not very surprised as I was just waiting to see ”who” would replace “pastasia” as its business was not very good :-) We bought the 6pack…cost ~$12 (in pix, clockwise from top left) CHOCOHOLIC x1 (with choc stuffing..very nice) WIT NUT x1 (with peanut butter stuffing..my favourite) ALIEN x2 (this is the one with the chocolate shavings) KIWI x1 (ry had this as he requested it. It had green gooey kiwi jelly, which I don’t think I liked. Reminded me of ‘slimer’ from Ghostbusters, but ry enjoyed it and finished the whole donut by himself) CINNAMON x1 (surprisingly light and nice as well.) The doughnut base is different from “dunkin donuts”. It’s the bread/bun-base and not the cake base. It’s very light, soft and fluffy. Again, you need to consume it within 24 hours else it won’t taste that nice anymore. Can be refrigerated but take out 5-10mins before consuming. Do not recommend to microwave By the way, I used to “import” these donuts or the dunkin's everytime my sis comes home from KL… well, not anymore….. hehehe..The only other thing missing is “dunkin donuts”…I’m patient....

excuse, me, i have to make a call, "hello sis, eh, you got big apple donuts in KL or not...?..."

Double choc donuts

I definitely did not make these.

Sadly there are no “dunkin donuts” on the island and these are regularly imported from KL every quarter

or every so often when my sister comes a visiting.

There are many many diff varieties of donuts but these are my all time favorite donuts from DD.

Double choc rules..!!!

BUT,

You have to eat them fresh or within 24hours.

After that they tend to harden and not really nice even if you microwave them.
