j.co donuts

always wondered how great j.co donuts are because i always see a long queue. when kk arrived i thought it will smash j.co into pieces. but other than the hype created by krispy kreme's opening, j.co seems to hold its ground. so finally, i decided to try the donuts.



oreology, glazz, snow white, copa banana, why nut and cheese me up (not in the pic...devoured it before realizing i should take a photo).


cheese me up was good...maybe because i love cheese so much and the idea of a savory donut is just too hard to resist. think bagel but with a more soft pillowy bread. all of them tasted great well except for the copa banana which i eventually found the banana flavored custard weird. j.co donuts have a light dough and is not sweet at all. maybe the reason why anyone could finish half a dozen in one sitting. not that i did, which also made me realize that they are best eaten when fresh. i only ate one donut a day which made the latter ones more dry or should i say stale already. but the ones i ate earlier were really good.

so when in kl or indonesia (where the chain originated) grab some j.co donuts, you will not regret queing up for a long time.
