Krispy Kreme was finally introduced to Malaysian a few months back by Berjaya group (who is famous for bringing in a lot of US brands such as Wendy's and Starbucks to name a few). They launched only 2 stores so far in Malaysia, the first in Berjaya Times Square and the 2nd in Mid Valley. I'm been eying to get some for quite sometime now since the store was finally up and running like a month back and just wanted to know what all the hype was about. We already have quite a number of doughnut stores like Dunkin' Donuts, Big Apple and J. Co. So what makes Krispy Kreme so special?
Maybe I was in a hurry, but not like J. Co and Big Apple, their menu board was quite... how do I put it, simple? If I remember correctly, there was 2 or 3 menu boards on drinks, 1 on individual priced doughnuts and 2 more on promotion - 1 promoting their famous original glaze doughnuts and the other the call "Double Dozen Deals", which were 2 dozen original glaze for RM33.90 or 1 dozen original + 1 dozen assorted flavors for RM37.90 (plus you save RM6 for this deal). But huh?? How about 1/2 a dozen or just 1 dozen? Why no indication on menu board one? Don't tell me I had to do my own maths by multiplying the individual prices first then only approach the staff to pick my doughnuts? Hmm... won't that sound a bit funny? And also wouldn't it clog up the traffic flow? Imagine seeing a bunch of people standing around looking up at the menu board with mouths open doing calculation in the mind... weird I say...
Anyhow, because I just wanted to be fast (Laptops aren't very light okay... plus I usually carry a huge handbag full of 'female rubbish' and not forgetting I was in heels...), I just went "wat ever la! Give me double deal 2 (1 dozen original and the other assorted)." Just within seconds, I was already at the cashier paying for 24 doughnuts! RM37.90.... bye-bye... But then, okay lar... the staff are really very friendly. I did went into my aunty mood a bit my making him change flavors a litte here and there and he was really very patient with me. *Thumbs up to Krispy Kreme staff!!
So exited with my purchase and since everyone haven't tried Krispy Kreme yet, I really thought it will be a hit... mana tau..... -_-III I bought 24 and only 10 were consumed?? There were 10 of us there and I really expected the guys to like maybe have at least 1 each... but... aye.... everyone just nibble a bit here and there to share... hmm.... looks like Krispy Kreme (or maybe doughnuts in general) isn't such a big among us...
By rule, the owner usually has to 'ta pau' back what ever left overs, unless someone voices out. But no one did so into my fridge you guys go... can have you for lunch tomorrow... 14 freaking doughnuts... haha.... Party the bf is to blame because he's not here to become my personal MPK/MPPJ/DBKL (which ever city you are in). >(
Picture time!
The box packaging... Me kinda likes the retro diner look. Retro looking but at the same time modern. Design is such an amazing thing!
Serving suggestion on the box for original glazed doughnuts. 8 seconds? Ha! So penipu! 8 seconds was not even enough to make the doughnut warm! In total, mum had to microwave it for 1 minute.
Our lunch, mum and me... clock wise from top: Chocolate Iced Glazed Cruller, Hershey's Drak Chocolate, original glaze and Peanut Butter.In conclusion, I personally feel that the doughnuts taste better served after microwaving. There are actually 2 recipes (f I'm not mistaken) for the dough - normal doughnut and cruller. The cruller dough is a bit flakier. But all in all, microwaved taste much better. And will I crave for it? Well, I don't think so... It's not you Krispy, I'm generally not a doughnut fan... sorry...
Oh! We only ate 4, so how about the rest? Haha... Mum is distributing them to my little cousin now... free doughnuts after a Tae-kwan-do session... this aunty so good... :P
