"And we looovvee Doughnuts"

Back in 1988 when I was 9 years old, my parents and my brother went on a 2 month trip around North America. While I can't remember what types of doughnut I had during that trip, I do remenber an incident in New York City that has left an indelible mark on my psyche. Clinging close to mum and dad, we approached a Dunkin' Donuts store behind a small group of 20 year olds. I overheard one them enthusiastically "And we looovvee doughnuts". It was a memorable moment, a memorable moment, but my search for the perfect doughnut did not start there...

The Search for the Perfect Doughnut

Years later, I was re-introduced to the world of Doughnuts at the School Cafeteria, who stocked the fluffy goodness of the "Mr Donut" (then McCain I believe) Jam Ball doughnut (see review). Since then this doughnut has been an occasional indulgence, and indeed, the very inspiration for this site.

The Best so Far

While a solid doughnut for day to day circumstances the Mr Donut Jam Ball does not compare to the Best Doughnut I have eaten so far. Having family in Malaysia, it's quite a quirk that one of my favourite doughnut stores is the Dunkin' Donuts store in KL's old airport. At least a decade ago I had what I think was the Vanilla Kreme Filled Donut with it's real chocolate topping, fluffy centre and gorgeous clear vanilla cream centre. To this point it is the very best.

Any doughnut, Any Time

However, I feel I have not even touched the surface. There are bakeries out there making their own, hawkers in Thailand selling sugar-dipped Patonko's for 2 baht, and middle eastern churros. And of course, Krispy Kreme - the giant conglomerate must be doing something right.

So please, submit your reviews, theres a hole world of Doughnuts out there!
