Finally, we get down to business and do a write up on none other then the coveted Donut Factory. Currently available in only 2 locations in town, this orange box means you've either lined up for 2 hours or more for your favorite little fried pastry. I'd like to reiterate once again, i am not a donut lover and asking me to line up for 2 hours for a donut is a suggestion bordering on insane. However, i did find a smaller queue on this very fortunate day and so, we queued, waited and scored!

After an astonishingly long wait of...... 15 minutes (!!!!), i got my hands on a huge assortment of donuts from this famous and much talk about pastry chain. That's right, 15 minutes was all it took and thats a far cry from what i've been told. Even better, most of the flavors were present, i bought 2 boxes of 12 and the other box had the Double Chocolate flavor, which is deemed one of the most popular items.
Anyway, as of present, i have tasted 2 flavors with the third gone before i could try. They are the peanut butter glazed donut, the Raspberry dark chocolate and the spicy cheese flavored donut.

Peanut butter glazed donut has a generous filling of peanut butter within and has a nice glazed surface of sugar which really enhances the taste but may come across as a tad too sweet for some.
The raspberry dark chocolate tasted normal in the beginning as i couldn't make out the dark chocolate nor raspberry taste. Its saving grace came about halfway through the donut when its thick, sweet and sour raspberry filling oozed out for a satisfying spin on the taste.
Finally, the spicy cheese flavored was devoured by my mom very quickly while she kept exclaiming how fragrant and tasty it was as compared to the other donut company i've been reviewing.
Across the board, i believe the main difference in their offerings is the quality of the dough. It was uniformly softer and less porous when compared to other donuts i've had at this point. The fillings it offers also packs a stronger punch as compared to other would be imitators. Delightful!

Does it live up to the hype? In terms of donuts, the answer is a resounding YES.
Can waiting 2 hours for its donuts be justified? Unfortunately, i would say no. At least not for the flavors i've had thus far. Donuts are known for being quick munchies and for stemming pangs of hunger, they are not known as a luxury item that demands a long waiting time. =P I suppose the next donut comparison will probably be the original Dunkin Donuts or Krispy Kreme in USA. Till then, the Donut Factory can tide you over till you get the real thing.

When it started out, I did not think highly of Donut factory and don't understand the big who-ha about it. And won't even queue for more than an hour for donuts. However, I tried it one day as my mom brought it back. To my amaze,this shop sells good donuts.As the donuts are fluffy and soft,the jam and glaze is just nice,not too sweet.

I went to Korea for an exchange last summer and had krispy kreme there almost every day for breakfast or supper. It was really good. I can say the best donuts I've eaten ever =D

So when I came back to Singapore, I really missed this daily treat alot. Then I heard about this donut craze here in singapore too, DONUT FACTORY! but everytime I walked past the outlet in Raffles City, the queue was so long that I did not feel like waiting. So never had the chance to taste the donuts.

Until this outlet at Suntec! I was randomly shopping around at Suntec when I realised that people were carrying boxes of donuts walking around! So my friend and I decided to go take a look. Lo and behold, there was an outlet there and the queue was not long at all. It took perhaps only about 10 minutes to get to the counter and the staff was very efficient.

At first I was still worried that I would not be able to buy the hot favourite flavours that I've long heard about. But it turned out that the donuts were stocked up very fast with like up to 6 staff baking in the kitchen! In the end I bought a box of a dozen donuts. 4 double chocs, 2 peanut dark choc, Lotus Mocha, Spicy Cheese, mint choc and I can't remember what else as I just asked the staff to give me 1 each of the remaining flavours. haha but I can say that they were all soft and fluffy, fresh and delicious donuts! i particularly liked the double choc where the choc inside oozes out when you bite into it. and the spicy cheese which gave a really different feel to the donut, especially for cheese lovers like me!

Finally a chance to satisfy my donut craving and I can say it's almost as good as Krispy Kreme. Not to mention that you can get them quite fast. Think the staff is rather efficient, only that the cashier is quite slow. Heh. But overall, I had quite a good experience there. Next time I go, I'll probably go try out those stuff on the menu. Looking foward to the donut set meals =)
