Everybody seems to be so giddy, outrageously excited with the arrival of Krispy Kreme that I can't help but wonder, what's so special about these doughnuts anyhoo? Pardon my ignoramity, but I'd rather see (or rather, taste) for myself what the 'k'raze is all about. Well, they used to be such a big hit in the US and in other countries as well. But the latest that I've gathered was that KK sales are starting to dwindle and plunge (according to news reports, that is, so my sources are quite reliable).
So there. When a PR brought a box-of-12 at the office, for each editor, each section, I was finally able to taste the most awaited, the so-called royalty of all doughnuts...
I'm sorry. But I was like, "So, this is it?"
Sorry for all the KK lovers out there, who have been patiently awaiting these round, sweetened bread to hit the country. Maybe, I'm not much of a doughnut person and that my taste is simple to please--at least when it comes to doughnuts (yeah, i prefer simple, traditional flavors), but I was anticipating more! I suppose there was too much hype for KK doughnuts that I was expecting so much more gustatory experience than I've had with other doughnuts, like say, GoNuts. True that its doughnuts are delish. The bread itself is fine ( as opposed to coarse) to taste, as though, if it could, it would melt in your mouth.
But it's still a doughnut. And I can't seem to find a differentiating factor from all the doughnuts I've ever tasted... But hey, I've only tasted one flavor, so lemme check the other flavors and for sure, I'll post something about.
Chow!
(Umm.. Ciao, get it? Hahaha!!!! Tek always tells me I'm so downright corny. But hey, I bet you smiled, huh? huh?? ;p )
