Thinking that i'd get better luck at noon time, i went over to Raffles City only to see a long queue of people. The server lady was again coming out to inform that they are coming up with a new batch but she cant be sure if by the time it reaches to the back we can get any donuts....



Was informed that they way they process the orders are such that they will process the donuts according to flavour. They have a total of 15 flavours so flavour 1 (which usually is the glazed) will be made first. So those who are at the counter will be able to decide if they want the first flavour or not and if they want the first flavour, how many etc. Den when flavour 2 comes out, they again get to decide if they want the flavour, how many etc. Its a pretty slow and tideous process be it for the servers or the customers (in my view).

Not sure but i thought maybe it would be better if they get people to write down their orders and pay first den let people walk around before coming by to collect. The servers were all really nice and polite though.

I kinda queued for about 30 mins before i managed to complete my box...



the missing flavours from the box includes spicy cheese (not available), apple cinnamon (i don't like think i'll like it), orange white chocolate (don't think i'll like it) and double chocolate (didnt manage to wait long enuff).

Another view of my box of 12...



If i recall correctly...

................Glazed......Assorted
1 Donut ....... $1.10 ........... $1.20
Box of 6 ....... $5.50........... $6
Box of 12 ..... $11............... $12

Im not very sure of the pricing but if i recall correctly, should be as per above!

A closer up of the assorted donuts....



The hazelnut milk chocolate, in xinying's view, is not very nice. I found it alright but i agree that the chocolate is not chocolate-y enuff.

The strawberry white chocolate, in xinying's view was quite nice. I found it not bad as well. Its actually very similiar to the white strawberry heart except that the white strawberry heart is of a cute heart shape and has strawberry jam in the middle that oozes out while the strawberry white chocolate is round and without.

The glazed one as what i said, may look boring but is actually really good!

The cheese tartar was one of the ones that i really wanted to try. Its the creamy kinda cheese but the cheese taste is not very strong. It reminds me of a milder, without ham kerrigold cheese spread.

and a few other assorted flavours....



The kaya white was alright but the white chocolate kinda overpowers the kaya. The kaya was not the very fragrant kinda kaya but overall it still tasted alright. Most importantly i guess is that the donut part for all the donuts were ALL SOFT and fluffy!

the lotus mocha was some coffee flavour which didnt go well with me but u may like it.

the peanut dark chocolate.. well, it feels boring (to me). In fact to me, i prefer the glazed one to the peanut dark chocolate but of coz, taste is subjective.

didnt try the blueberry glazed. Dad had it.

and more....



the wasabi cheese one had this cheesy wasabi thingy in the middle. Doesnt go for me coz i don't like wasabi in the first place.

the peanut butter glazed one is one of my personal favourite! I had this one my way to work so it was still warm...



yes... do u see the peanut butter oozing out? Yummilicious!!

and i got 2 of the strawberry white hearts. One for ah yee and one for myself. Ah yee sounded so excited when she saw the heart shaped donut yesterday ! heh.. i also had one on my way to work and i tell u, the strawberry jam inside was OOzing out! Because its jam, it oozed out even more aggressively den the peanut butter one...



and see what i mean by the strawberry jam would aggressively ooze out?



haha.. thats ping jie jie who doesnt want to show her face. lol

another shot of the donuts...



and when i got to work, i gave cynthia and xinying the box of 6 i got. too bad Ferlyn was on leave....


Now that i've tried most of the flavours, i guess im willing to wait till the queues of this place gets shorter (or preferably no queue) before wanting to buy it again. Queues kinda puts me off.

Very nice introduction to the donuts. Now I know which ones to decide on without having to join the crowd. If I can ever be bothered to queue. :p
