Krispy Kreme

After reading so much about Krispy Kreme on the Internet I swear to the moon, stars and sun that I must have a bite one day! So when the news of Berjaya bringing Krispy Kreme to Malaysia broke out, needless to say I was exhilarated.



I was a little dissapointed when they decided to open it in Times Square as it's a little time consuming for me to travel there from the airport (and then back to the airport again). I guess they heard me , and just few months later they open one in Midvalley! Halleluiah!



I have a little confession though. As excited as I was, the first time I was there I actually walk through it and told my sister I couldn't find it? Well, i was expecting long queues but it turns out the shop was rather empty.



The donuts choices weren't as extensive as Jco and Big Apples but at the same time, what ever they have(other than the original glazed) in Krispy Kreme are not available in both Jco and Big Apples.



It's a lot cheaper to get two dozens but since I am the only one eating and I am not blessed with a good metabolism rate to burn all the donuts later, I decided to just get a dozen. :p



Texture wise, Krispy Kreme's dough is fluffier and in a way, heavier. What I really like about Krispy Kreme's donuts is the ones that comes with toppings are not "wet" and even if you leave it for two days, it still stays fresh and "in shape". It's a total different case with Jco and Big Apples. Leave it for a few hours ,the donut will flattens and you just don't feel like eating it anymore.



The New York Cheesecake is the best amongst all the flavors. The creme filling was just so, so, so, so good. If I were to die tomorrow, i will have this as my last wish. And after that I will die happily and have no regrets. :D



Second to that is the Glazed Vanilla Cake. The thick glazed crust that coat the outer layer melts in your mouth and is a sure way to give a good sugar rush. Mmmm. Nom. Nom. Nom. Nom.



If you're a fan of Hershey's cookies and cream then this will be for you. I thought it was nothing spectacular though I have to give them credit on the generous amount of toppings.



Oh, did I say I bought an extra seat in Air Asia just to put my boxes of Krispy Kreme?



This is Krispy Kreme checking in, in LCCT- KLIA.



This is Krispy Kreme on the plane, with seat belt on. :)

Big Apple Donut



This would be a review of Big Apple's Donut across three states that is, Kuala Lumpur, Sarawak and Penang. I cant remember their names, so pictures only ya ;p



I first tasted Big Apple in The Curve, KL.



They call this Alien Vs Predator in KL but the rest of their branches they named it The Alien. This is my personal favourite and i will have this in each and every of my visits.


I had always loved donuts with icing sugar and this one is filled with vanilla cream. It is less sweet compared to the rest.


This one is topped with crumbled oreo biscuits and white chocolate. It tasted good but not my favourite.


This one is rather normal. It's filled with chocolate and topped with melted chocolate. It is almost similar to the alien. I usually go for the alien tho'.


Mango flavoured cream in the middle together with mango jam at the side. A bit too sweet for my liking.


The popular peanut butter one. Nice and sinful :)

Now , lets move to the one in Kuching, Sarawak.

I was there to online so i ordered the ice blended (RM7.50) and i have to say that their ice blended falls under the category of the worst ice blended. So go there eat donut nia ok!


The glaze. Also under the "less heavy" donut range. It is good, but not as good as the glaze in J co Donuts.

Last state, Penang!

This is the worse flavour. It supposed to taste like kiwi but seriously it smells and tasted like my dishwasher. (not that i've tasted dishwasher ;p ) Don't order this one.



I had more in Penang but i don't think i wanna post the pictures of the same donut ;p

There's a reason why i wanted to post donuts of all three states together.

If you notice the pictures above, the donuts are out of shape, too wet and too soft. Just look at the alien, so ugly and overly moist. And this is the kind of donuts you get from Big Apples Kuching and Penang.

This is the kind of donut you get in Kuala Lumpur. Nicely done, fluffy and not too wet.

Big apples no quality control one is it? Hrmphff!
