DONUT tease a Doughnut lover!

I am a self confessed Doughnut lover... 

i remember as a kid, being the first niece in the family,

my uncle and aunts used to bring Donut King...

they studied in a university in Angeles City, 

and they always bring me some doughnuts from DK...

i can still remember myself patiently waiting for them after school..

Donut King was the very first brand of doughnut which was introduced to me...

Then years later, we used to live along Mango Road in Aurora Blvd., 

and so i used to stay at Dunkin Donuts in Balete for long hours... 

it was the best location we ever lived at...

it was when i met my first love... 

Boston Creme...

Then i met Mister Donut...

It was the twisted doughnuts that got me into it...

it was a cheap means to fill one's tummy during break time in college..

i also love their dutch choco crunch.. yummm!!!

by the way, until now i still go for Mister Donut, 

since, as per my tastebuds, it's the only brand 

who didn't go with the super duper high level of sugar in doughnuts... 

they maintained the right amount of sweetness...

just the way i like it... :)

Along the way, i also met Hot Loops!

I think that was 2005 to 2006, when Hot Loops was introduced in the market...

we used to go to Robinson's just for a bite 

and lurk at how they make their doughnuts...

but i can never eat more than 2.. 

i usually just have one.. 

since they were sweeter than those brands that i grew up with... 

among their flavors, 

Peanut Better was my fave!

Before i left the Philippines for my first assignment here in Yokohama,

we were in our Gonuts Donuts stage...

i would always ask my then BF to get me some from Makati...

coz from where i lived then, there was no dealer of GD...

my faves were the Peanut Butter Frost and the Choco Glaze...

actually, i found GD sweeter than Hot Loops, but then GD has sugarfree variants..

but still sweet for someone who's not a sweet tooth...

. . . 

then, my love for doughnut went to a halt 

when i noticed the increase in the level of sweetness among competing brands... 

it was really just too much for me... 

years came by, and i already forgot about my love for doughnuts, 

until Krispy Kreme invaded Manila...

but the only variant that i liked was the original glazed...

but it still takes almost a week before we can eat a box of 6...

and i like it hot with my hot coffee in the morning by the way..

the rest of the flavors were just insanely too sweet for me...

i feel my soul leaving my body everytime i take bite! hahaha!

. . . 

and just when i thought i will never find the brand of doughnut that would make fall in love again...

i met 

Doughnut Plant New York City...

i have been eyeing on these doughnuts for the longest time.. 

i often spent some minutes at the Queen's after office looking for something to eat...

but i usually brush off the idea of trying it out...

until this evening... 

i went by the shop's display rack, 

and wasn't able to control myself from taking away

a box of 4 plus an extra square doughnut...

and ended up going home with 6 doughnuts in the bag...

coz for every 5 you buy, you get to choose one as a present!
