If you've read my post bout krispy kreme, u might wanna read tis as well. Since big apple and jCo came to our shores, donut have been making a popular comeback. U see at least a donut outlet in every mall. No doubt, these indonesian franchise serves us with soft n light donuts which comes in various flavours and its reasonably priced, at least just like their counterpart dunkin donuts which have been around for ages. Between d two, I prefer jCo bcoz they happen to have more flavours which appeals to me n my family.

A few weeks ago while I was flipping thru d daily newspaper I saw d berjaya group advertisement re their soon-to-be-opened donut outlet called krispy kreme. Out of curiousity, I stopped by at berjaya times square solely for d purpose of getting my hands on d donuts. While I was in a queue with my colleague,a man from d kitchen handed us a sugar glazed donut each. So I tot, perhaps I shud have a bite before I commit myself to a dozen pcs and dats jus wat I did. Mak aiiii, manis nyer. But I went ahead to get a dozen donuts. Otw to d car, my colleague had to go to d loo so while I sat on a bench in front of d supermarket, I struggled to finish d tester donut handed to me earlier. Status confirmed - their sugar glaze are super sweet.

When I got back to d office, I was still full fr lunch so I didn't open my box of assorted donuts. I was keeping my fingers crossed bcoz my first piece of this donut wasn't a pleasant one. B d time I got home yesterday, it was almost 7pm but no one was around. Normally my adik2 are excited over things like donuts or cheesecake, and when they got back, they were excited to see krispy kreme box on d dining table.

After we all took our dinner, I took a knife fr d kitchen and started cutting d donuts into halves becoz I bough 5 different flavours and tis way, we cud all taste everything. My first half was d new york cheese donut, altho a lil sweet, it was nice bcoz it tasted like cheesecake. My siblings all took their share but it was all sweeter than normal donuts. The toppings and fillings were all sugary sweet dat even if u have a sweet tooth, I bet after a dose of krispy kreme u'd be having toothache pulak! Bukan sikit2 manis yer...with sore throat n all, finishing d donuts was a lil torturous. Fyi, I still have half a dozen in my fridge.

If u consider yourself a smart consumer, u prolly won't go for krispy kreme coz compared to big apple and jCo, tis is slightly more expensive, even when it comes to their beverages. Secondly, their variety isn't as wide as their counterpart. Among other things, for me berjaya times square is a lil bit out of d way and parking is quite a hassle over der. I'm not sure if krispy kreme wud b as successful as big apple and jCo, but if ure curious and where judgment is concerned I'm no expert, perhaps u shud give it a try.

Krispy kreme is located on d ground floor of bts, next to papa john's and opposite esprit boutique.
