Donut Craze - Krispy Kreme Donuts

I'm not a big donut fan but due to the ‘Donut Craze’ in Malaysia I was dragged (willingly) into this phenomenon.

The latest hype is the newly opened Krispy Kreme Donuts. People were queuing like mad on the first few weeks of its launch. You know KLites lar, everything also curious, small accident at road side also need to stop by and look see, in the end say its non of their business, but caused huge traffic jams.

Went to Berjaya Time Square with Ruth on Saturday and we stopped by Krispy Kreme for breakfast. She once queued quite long to get the donuts but this time seems not much people. Some staffs even had time to approach us and explain about the promotional items. I was like, ummm ummm, ok ok… buy 1 dozen you save RM6.00, umm, ok ok… got new peanut butter donuts, wow… ok ok… In the end we only ordered two donuts and a cup of drink, so the promotion doesn’t really help…

I wasn’t too surprised that there’s less crowd after 1 month operation. The sweetness might not favor Malaysian liking. My family and friends find Krispy Kreme donuts too sweet compared to JCO and Big Apple. The price point wasn’t that attractive also, as they are selling at RM2.80 per donuts and RM2.50 if you order a dozen. In JCO and Big Apple you can get one for as low as RM2.00.

New York Cheesecake

For me, my favorite is the New York Cheesecake and Cappuccino donuts. However, I’m joining marathon soon so this ‘sin food’ is best avoid at all cost. I’m also competing with my sisters to see who will reign the biggest loser :D.
