Cinnamon Ring

Beautiful and soft

LOCATION: 237 Smith Street Collingwood VIC Australia

Fresh Hot Bread Bakery Near Safeway

PRICE: $0.70 AUD

To be honest, despite how much I like this Vietnamese bakery's salad rolls and dim sims (home made chicken dim sims $1.20 - clearly the best in Melbourne in my opinion), from the look of most of the doughnuts in the counter display I wasn't expecting too much. Their iced and jam doughnuts looked over-fried (too brown) and didn't look too appealing.

For this reason I chose the Cinnamon ring cake as it looked the best (and was very reasonably priced at $.70AUD). It was also slightly larger than your average cinnamon doughnut. It didn't let me down. The outer had a lovely sugar (big crystals though) and a visible cinnamon coating and most importantly the insides were not too cakey. It was softer, fresher and had a sweeter, more buttery taste than comparable doughnuts (ie Coles). The dough was very nicely textured - more airy than I expected.

Not your typical cinnamon ring. Good marks here.

I then took my new Vibram Five Fingers for an initiation run. I hit the pavement of the sidewalk smoothly. I could positively really feel the concrete underneath foot since this vibram five fingers outlet shoe is minimalistic. However what there's of the only at least softened the impression, if not really cushioned it. And that softening was enough to make it enjoyable. So my heel strike was good. The roll alongside the facet of the foot with vibram five fingers komodo was good. The roll felt a little bit wider than regular, however I liked it. Then came the money shot, pushing off with the ball of my foot and all of my toes. Yes I used all five of my toes after I ran, even that little pinkie toe which most shoes squish up on prime of the next toe in.
