Big Apple?

Donuts wave is hitting the Malaysian soil out of late. Wherever u go, you could hear people talking about it and these donut stores are so crowded that u cant even have enuff space to breathe. Dunkin Donuts used to be the only "fancy" donut store available in Malaysia, but Big Apple and JCO broke into the Malaysian market and stole the hearts of many.

I finally get to try the Big Apple's donut on Sunday with my mom and bro @ Pavillion, the latest high end shopping mall in the heart of KL city. Crowded as what i have heard. As for the Pavillion shopping mall itself, there are still alot of empty shoplots. I guess it will only be fully occupied by year end. To be honest, I am still not fully convinced that these expensive and branded stuff could hold on very long. We will see very soon...

Not that i fancy donuts a lot, but i still prefer Krispy Kreme. They are the best!


Big Apple's box.


Original Glaze (their signature donuts), Moonraker (claimed as James Bond's favourite), Chocoholic (with chocolate cream inside), Choreo (topped with powdered oreo cookies), Chococino (with cappucino flavoured) and Mango Tango (topped with mango cream and glazed).

*Updates: thanks to Jeff who pointed out my mistakes in the price.
A piece cost RM2 but if you get half a dozen of them, you're only charged RM9.50. One dozen costs RM17. I guess the more u buy, the cheaper per piece. Go gather all your frens and buy together!

oh icic...how about 2 dozens? My sis works just across the street from Pavillion and she says the queue is forever very long. I wonder when the frenzy will go down.

ellewy: u know what.. looking at how malaysia is becoming kiasu nowadays, i think it is gonna last for some time. unless someone opens a krispy kreme donut store, then the crowd will move there... hehe.

2 dozens still same, rm17X2=rm34. if i am not mistaken. i suggest u try the original glazed and mango tango, really nice.

Good catch Jeff! Din notice that too..

These donut shops do seem like a fad, not unlike Rotiboy's mexican bun sometime back (queue is no longer there).. But can't differentiate between Big Apple's and J'Co's thou..at least I can't!
