Donut Factory (Suntec City)

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 =)

Not being a fan of the donut craze in Singapore, I still found myself in the queue for the donuts at Donut Factory. The queue was shorter than usual on a particular weekday last week and thus, my friend and I decided to give this well-known donut place a try.

While queuing up, we were just spoilt for choice looking at the menu of all 16 flavours of donuts. However, I noticed that the queues weren't moving fast due to the slightly slow service by the people behind the counters, especially the cashier. Hmm.. Many of the flavours were also gone by the time we were there.

Finally, it was our turn. I got a box of 6 with Lotus Mocha, Peanut Dark Chocolate, Double Chocolate, Strawberry White Chocolate, Spicy Cheese & Mint Dark Chocolate.

I had the Double Chocolate first, and for a chocolate lover like me, it was delicious. :) The donut was soft, the chocolate was smooth and the sweetness of it was just nice for me. :)

However, I found the Strawberry White Chocolate a little too sweet for my tastebuds though. Perhaps I didn't really like the idea of it tasting like I had too much sugar and cream in my mouth. As for the rest, I got reviews from my family that they were not bad.

Hmm. Generally, I still don't see the reason why people would want to join in the long queues for donuts. Yet..comparing the donuts that I've tried at a few places so far, Donut Factory's can be considered one of the better ones. :)

I like the concept that there is a cafe by the side at this branch. Hmm..but the fact that it's overcrowded and that u can only buy a max of 2 donuts, makes the place a little less appealing.
