krispy kreme field report....

[oldblue]

yikes. tradeoff perhaps dun sa sarap ng donut?

yun na nga eh. last week, my wife was watching oprah, meron discussion dun about krispy kreme and its well-guarded recipe na naka-vault pa nga daw.

the question is aside from KK main, who knows the recipe ba? does the US govt. know? eh pano kung gatas pala ng ahas yun or somethin' hehehe

another well-guarded recipe secret is KFC's original recipe. kaya nga walang franchise d2 sa P'nas lahat company-owned. malay ba natin kung anong recipe yun, pinapakain ka na pala ng extracts ng kung anong insecto, sarap na sarap tayo

[imprezawrxsti]

Malapit sa amin ang factory nyan ( winston - Salem , NC ) What's the big deal about this thing? Nver heard about this doughnut til' you guys started to write about this sugarpill ( eaten one today )suppose to be a pasalubong for my in law who requested to get the " original here in North carolina.

finally tasted one yesterday. Pumila ako ng around 10 minutes to buy 1 dozen ng original glazed. imo, nothing extra ordinary regarding the taste, the extra ordinary is its price

Sir Oldblue, minsan nag-experiment ako sa kusina, one key ingredient of KFC is basil! hehehe! Accident lang ng ma-discover ko. Pero I'm still missing a few herbs and spices to actually copy KFC. Nga pala, diba pressure fried ang KFC? Looks like it pero I'm not sure.

Sorry sa OT. (nagutom tuloy ako)

Had my first stint a while ago...

Service: It was pretty quick contrary to my expectations. I had around 10 people ahead of me but I waited no more than 5 minutes.

Taste: Delicious but it's not one I'll keep coming back for. My mom found the original glaze too sweet, and some old lady there commented that the taste of the one in the States is different. But the sour cream flavor is the one I really liked, and I might be frequenting this one.

Value: Obviously expensive for the masses * 30 for the original and 38 for the other varieties. The doughnuts are also not big enough to justify the price. They also lack a half-dozen value pack. 200 should be a fair deal for 6 doughnuts because a whole dozen can be too many for a few people to consume before the freshness is gone.

Overall: The relatively high price was expected considering the weak peso and economy. I will certainly be back soon but not very frequently, at least until I come up with extra money and extra exercise.

Mga pre sa US its .50 cents a doughnut... so its relatively cheap!

Yeah sour cream flavor that looks like a twisted cruller from Country Style Donuts... Yan din ang da best para sakin sa KK.

Lined up friday night.. mga 45 minutes inabot..







if they can produce 3,000 original glazed in 1 hour.. and assuming everything was bought by the dozen at PHp265.00 per dozen, operating hours of 8am to 10pm (14 hours)

3,000 x 14 hours = 42,000 / 12 = 3,500 dozens x 265.00 = Php927,500.00 per day

927,500.00 x 365 = Php338,537,500.00 per year on one store! original glazed pa lang yan!

US$3M per store.. so in 1 year.. bawing bawi na yung Php150M na puhunan.

He-he! Sana nga ganyan lagi......pa'no na pag nagsawa na tao? Yung pila, palagay ko, ngayon lang yan, kasi bago. Medyo curious pa ang madlang Pinoy.

had to add 10 minutes to my usual 30-min treadmill these past few weeks.
kailangan eh, 3rd week in a row na ko bumibili ng dozen glaze.

pag-paubos na sasabihin ko sa sarili ko, pareho-pareho lang naman ng ibang donuts no big deal. pero pagdating ng friday/sat, I can't resist passing that quiet little place in the Fort heheehe

[carlocaraddict]

ano pang mga donut variants ang irerecommend niyo? hehehe (naaddict na ako!)

yeh, i ate half of the dozen donuts I bought last sat.

[oldblue]

truly addicting.

i'm one of those who firmly believe na magkakagulo sa sM Megamall opening. andyan na mga-jologs.

50c is expensive when you consider that everything else costs half as much!

Naalala ko tuloy pagtatalo namin ng fil-am cousin ko: "$10... that's not a lot" "Yes it is!" "No it isn't." "Where you are right now, it is!" "It isn't." "$10 can get me places." "No It can't." "Let me show you some stuff I bought for less than $10..."

kelan ka ba hindi naging addict?!... nyak nyak nyak

[Autobeat]

Will definitely try this one, but only if the line is short. Tried gonuts as well, also only when the line was short, but it started to taste too sweet for us. Now we're surprisingly satisfied to go back to Dunkin Donuts for a single donut each once in a while.

[oldblue]

i'll never go back to dunkin again. that's what i did when I last tasted gonuts.

now I only go back to gonuts to buy their amazing glaze blended drink. ice cold liquid donut taste tsalap!

[carlocaraddict]
