What is usually shaped in rings with sprinkles of sweetness on top or flattened spheres injected with fruit preserves,cream, custards or other sweet fillings? A food made of flour dough that can be either baked or deep-fried and often enjoyed as a type of snack in a lot of countries. Any idea yet? Rather than keep you guessing, we are going to spill the bean and tell you what it is. It's Doughnut!

There are no other ongoing promotion by Krispy Kreme as of when this review is written.
Given that Krispy Kreme has 6 outlets which is strategically located in most places, it is convenient for everyone to choose a place of preference. Whether is Mid Valley or Berjaya Times Square, easy accessibility is never a question anymore as public transports are always available to this places including the convenience of LRT is available as an option. If you are driving though, traffic congestion might be an issue as all these places are frequently visited places so if you are looking to avoid parking and traffic issue, maybe Subang Parade, Hartamas Shopping Centre or Plaza Shah Alam will be a better choice.
If you are purchasing this deal, be reminded that you will have to choose an outlet almost as instantly as you are clicking the Buy Deal button. So make a wise decision but nothing much you need to worry about.
Price Check:
You can get doughnut at a normal price of RM0.50cents on the road side stalls. Bakery shops normally sell those glazed doughnut or doughnut sprinkled with sugar at a price of RM1 to RM2 each while the assorted one will be at RM1.50 to RM2.50.
J.CO Donuts are selling a dozen for RM20
Big Apple on the other hand set their prices at 1 for RM2, 6 for RM 9.50 and 12 for RM17
Big Apple's prices are pretty close to what is being offered in this deal hence if you are not really price sensitive and looking more towards taste then maybe both can compete and at the end of the down it's down to your own preference.

This deal does allow you to save up some cash in exchange for better quality assured doughnuts for enjoyment. It is subjective to your liking though. Reportedly, you are to save as much as RM12.72 from the original price of RM28.62 (Including 6% GST). Comparing the deal price of RM15.90 with the cheapest doughnut you can possibly get from a doughnut house like Big Apple which set their price at RM17 for a dozen, you still capable of saving RM1.10.
We also don't think the cons have much effect on this deal and having more pros on this deal simply help us determine the rating as we are looking at a possible 4.5 stars deal at worst and 5 at best. Given the nature of this deal and taking the popularity of Krispy Kreme into a count, we could easily give them what they deserve but let us take a look at some of the reviews first:
Krispy Kreme @ Malaysianfoodie.com
As for the Nutty Nutty, the doughnut is plain chocolate on top and with lots of nuts. Extremely delighting and nutty. I love the nuts so much as it is so cruncy as well.
Taste: 5/5
Krispy Kreme @ BangsarBabe
While waiting in line, the Krispy Kreme staff gave us some original glazed donuts to try. It was awesome!!! The sugar coating gave the donuts a sweet, "krispy" outside. I took a bite and the donuts were pillow-y soft on the inside (fresh out of the oven).
The hershey chocolate donut (the white one with chocolate chunks) was insanely sweet! I could only eat half.
Krispy Kreme @ Rebeccasaw
We were ushered in and greeted by chirpy staff who is sweeter than the donuts they promote.
Saw how thick the "glaze" coating is? Super sweet stuff I tell you..
But but.. it was ok for some, and a bit too sweet for others, so really.. taste is subjective.
Go queue up, buy some and try it for yourself!
Seems like they really do deserve a 5 stars from us so that's what they are getting! Before we end this review though, let's take a sneak peak on how they create those magicial sweet ring-dough;
That's all for today's review. Thanks for reading. Hope you enjoy those doughnuts because we certainly do.
