Especially for you* - Jason Donovan and Kylie Minogue

SMS to kc (sometime last week): Hey, it's gonna be difficult to bring back the Krispy Kreme doughnuts back home to you. So for your sake, i'll be going to Harrods later, buy 2 doughnuts for you and eat them on your behalf. The things i do for you... Muahahaha!

Reply from kc: Touching words indeed. I hope you enjoyed those donuts.

Well kc, i did!

Ever since we read about it in Kenny Sia's blog (see here), we've been longing to try out the Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Is it really as good as he made them out to be??? Well, i couldn't believe my fortunes when i was taking a fren around at Harrods when i saw the Krispy Kreme counter there!!!! How could i not notice it before???? Or was it new?

I din need much encouragement from me fren and we immediately got in line and bought a couple to try out.

Maaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnn.......................!!!!!!!!

It is the bestest brilliantest most wonderfullest doughnut i've ever had!!!! Mind you, forget about all the fancy ones - just go for the cheaper original-glazed one. The dough was unbelievably light, soft and moist!!!! No, the heavens did not open and choirs of angels did not sing - but it sure came close!!!! Even me calorie-conscious fren threw out her diet and enjoyed it guilt-free!!!!

I was so tempted to go back the next day and buy a dozen and eat it all meself (around 1 quid for one but they were selling a dozen for 7 quid!!!! wat a deal!!!). I din of course, but i did buy it for kc - and eat for him. Hehehe.

Here's my experience - and kc, it was done especially for you:-

We'll prolly never get it here in M'sia. The closest would be in Indonesia.


Bought it back and had it in me mate's flat kitchen.


Had 2 - one was the choc cake glazed and the other was the original glazed.






Saving the best for last, i tried the choc cake one first.


Yummy!


And finally, the original glazed...


It may look ordinary but believe you me, it's far from that!!!!!


Contented! :-)


*Kylie's biggest single before Can't get You Out of My Head, it did well in the UK in 1989, peaking at #1 for 4 weeks.

eh but one thing i must say is that krispy kremes are terribly small and bordering on highway robbery with the price. i cant help feeling like i get abit cheated whenever i eat one. but thats just me. ha ha. i'll admit that the first bite sort of makes one give that expression u gave. but before u can sneeze, its all gone...

now that you mentioned it, one quid for one doughnut is a little on the steep side - esp if i convert it to m'sian ringgit which i shud since i'm no longer earning in sterling.

kc - i spent RM14 just for you!!!!!!! still, its worth it since i doubt krispy kreme will ever see the light in these shores.
