KL Sedap Part 7: Krispy Kreme

Okay so we have come to the end of our KL Sedap Series.
My darling wife and our guest reviewers, Razali & Azim, have joined me in exploring just a tiny fraction of the makan paradise we know as Kuala Lumpur.

And although this it the last post in the series for now, I have a strong feeling that it might be the most popular in the series.

Oh come now. There’s no need to be shy.
Everyone I know has a soft spot for doughnuts. Specifically – Krispy Kreme.

I remember a time when Dunkin’ Donuts completely dominated the doughnut market.
When my family used to travel into Malaysia, there would surely be a few boxes of Dunkin’ Donuts in the car with us on the way back.

But it appears the times have changed.

Since Krispy Kreme appeared in KL, it seems that it has completely dominated the doughnut scene not only there but everywhere else.

Is a superior product? Better variety? Great location?
Well when Krispy Kreme opened in the US, their Original Glazed® Doughnut quickly gained legendary status. When it spread closer to us (in HK), we started seeing people bring back these white boxes with green dots when they returned from their travels. Litttle did we know the treasures within…

In KL alone, they have 3 outlets. Two are located at Sunway and one more at Mid Valley Megamall.
The 3rd (and most convenient) is located at Berjaya Times Square. Why convenient? Well, quite a number of travellers who take the coach in and out of KL have the chance to take a coach operator who stops and picks-up at Berjaya Times Square.

This means lots of doughnuts for loved ones at home!
And as you can see from the picture above, you’re gonna have quite a time choosing your doughnuts.

Original Glazed®

Without a doubt, the most popular doughnut at Krispy Kreme is the Original Glazed®.
The beauty in their doughnuts is not only in the toppings but the doughnut itself. It’s really really soft and gives you such a heavenly feeling when you take a nice big bite.

And the best thing – it remains soft even after a few hours.
If you have to keep your Krispy Kreme doughnuts in the fridge, just pop em in the microwave for about 15 seconds before you serve and it’ll be as soft as when you first bought them.

In the mood for something a little more decadent?
Well I’m a sucker for Orange Chocolate so I was helpless when I saw these beauties staring back at me.

At first, I though it was gonna be just the orange stripes which would give me the orange flavour but I was pleasantly surprised! The chocolate that covered the doughnut was a dark orange chocolate that was FULL of flavour! Quality is never a question and Krispy Kreme passes that with flying colours!

Not an orange chocolate fan?
Well then you might consider the Chocolate Dream – chocolate within chocolate!

But hey, I can’t go through every single doughnut they have right?
Well I’ll just lay them out for you and you can take a look for yourselves if anything tickles your fancy.

See anything you like?
I’m guessing some of you might be drooling like Homer Simpson right about now.
I know I am!

A single Original Glazed® doughnut costs RM2.50.
A half-dozen Original Glazed® sets you back RM12.00.
A whole dozen Original Glazed® is RM19.00.

Flavoured doughnuts are RM2.80, RM15.00 and RM23.90 respectively.

I didn’t do very well for my maths but I reckon the best deal is the box of dozen.

And for the kids (or even yourself if you’re looking to cut down on your sugar), they also have Mini doughnuts that promise to pack the same delicious taste as their bigger counterparts.

EAT ME!

Looks like I could fit one in my whole mouth. 
Really like Homer Simpson!

Adam’s Verdict:
Krispy Kreme 5/5

Maryah’s Verdict:
Krispy Kreme 5/5

I think it’s quite safe to say that Krispy Kreme is tops.

The big question is – when is Krispy Kreme coming to Singapore?
I’ve heard several rumours (as far back as 3 years ago) and read several online articles that say the brand franchise has already been bought for Singapore but so far no news on any outlets opening.

Some online forums claims that it’s supposed to open in “March 2013”.
Well it’s already June anyways. Looks like I need to go to KL for my Krispy Kreme fix.
