Going Nuts about Donuts



Move aside Bubble tea, Get out of the way coffee buns, donuts are the new stars. I really wonder, why are sooooo many Sinagporeans all of a sudden crazy of donuts? I remember we use to have Dunkin Donuts in Singapore,then for a long time, donuts seem to have disappeared from our island till recently when any Singaporeans are going nuts about donuts. Waiting in line for 3 hours is it worth the wait????



It was 2pm on a weekday, where people should be in their offices typing away, doing work, but No, instead I saw many office workers waiting in a ridiculously long line for donuts. I am not against donuts, neither am i mad about them. At most I am only willing to wait 5min 3hours, I rather not eat, at least I can save my money, and won't need to pile on the extra pounds. How long can donuts retain their new found fame, or will they have to make way for a new star?? who knows.


Okay so I could not resist but try out some donuts myself.


The most recent one I had was from Munchy Donuts.

To tell you the truth, I can't tell the difference between donuts I have tried, the only difference is the flavours. My Fave ones from Munchy are the Silly-mon (cinnamon on white chocolate) and the Oreo one. I don't really fancy those with cream in the centre, makes the donuts extremey sweet. The reason I went to try Munchy donuts is because 8-days said Munchy was No. 1 (the power of media -.-)


Kim Gary...

I ate at Kim Gary just yesterday. Kim Gary is a chain of restaurants, some of which are Hong Kong Cafes, others serve Korean or other cuisines. They can be found in Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong.


I patronized the one at Vivocity. (Hong Kong Kim Gary Restaurant)


Where? #02-218 VivoCity, 1 HarbourFront Walk.

The food: I had a pork chop baked rice, which was served in a Bamboo basket (those dim sum ones). It was quite tasty, but not my favorite baked rice. The pork was a little tough, had a hard time biting into it. I had one with cream sauce, and the sauce had corn in it, in fact, majority of the dishes on the menu had corn, corn and more corn, wonder why. I tried some of the Black Pepper beef sauce, and did not like it, it did not have a black peppery taste, tasted more like a black bean sauce.

The french toast had peanut butter in between, loads of maple syrup and butter, I felt i was just eating bread soaked in butter, it was too oily but otherwise nice.

My friend had the peanut butter, condensed milk toast, tooooo sweet!
The servers mostly speak mandarin so if you don't know mandarin then .....
Verdict? Just an okay place with okay food.
