New Yorkers troop to the SoHo district of Lower Manhattan going gaga over this schizophrenic pastry item called by many names. Like a trending Hollywood couple, this has been dubbed a shortcut moniker. Cronuts. It is in fact a croissant donut that well-clad trench-wearing city folks have been lining up for at Dominique Ansel Bakery.

Take a WILD guess what’s inside? 🙂
I posted this on IG and somebody answered, “Flour.” that got me laughing.
And because Filipinos like jumping in the bandwagon especially one that’s filled with doughnuts, it is starting a fire here. Many outlets in Manila are beginning to churn out what is a remake of the Ansel original.
Wildflour Café + Bakery have started selling these croissant donuts. These cronuts retail for P150 a piece and they have a 3-piece cap per person. Thin layers of flaky baked phyllo dough are crispy and airy like it’s been deep-fried. Inside the glazed croissant doughnut are delicate folds, and in the middle it reveals light creamy custard.
The flavors can vary depending on what you order. That specific Sunday, it was strawberry and dulce de leche that were available. When you cut into it, the frail base almost collapses but it doesn’t take away from you its sheer mouthwatering glazed enchantment.
In line with the release of the Green Hornet movie, Krispy Kreme recently launched a limited edition of Green Hornet Doughnuts. One bite and you get that minty-familiar-somewhat-fruity-perplexed taste that can probably remind you of your favorite bubblegum when you were a kid. This bubblegum flavored pastry treat is drizzled with a refreshing sting of cool mint.
Head to your nearest Krispy Kreme branch and grab their limited edition Green Hornet Doughnuts. Inspired by the excitement of the newest movie to hit big screens—The Green Hornet.
This limited edition of the confectionary treat lasts only until February 13, so be sure to grab one before you head to the cinemas to taste this special flavor edition of Krispy Kreme.

Salt and pepper. Simon and Garfunkel. Yin and Yang.
Good things often come in pairs—which is why the world’s favorite doughnut is pairing up with much-loved chocolate bar Snickers to give everyone’s sweet tooth a nutty surprise.
Featuring a union of two iconic indulgences, Krispy Kreme is now promising a one-of-a-kind doughnut treat whipped up from the brand’s trademark confections and topped with the rich chocolate and caramel indulgence of Snickers.
“The Snickers Doughnut gives Krispy Kreme fans more reasons to enjoy our doughnuts. And we’ve made it even more special by pairing it with a worldwide favorite treat,” declares Mark Gamboa, Marketing Manager of Krispy Kreme Philippines .
Snickers is a chocolate bar made up of peanut butter nougat topped with roasted peanuts and caramel, then covered with milk chocolate. It is the undisputed best selling chocolate bar of all time and you can now experience it in tandem with Krispy Kreme’s melt-in-your-mouth pastry.
The Snickers Doughnut from Krispy Kreme is the latest in a line of innovative fusion flavors that make it a favorite among Filipino doughnut lovers. It comes in two variants – Snickers Classic Doughnut and Snickers Chocolate Cake.
Grab a box of doughnut indulgence now and taste a bit of heaven on earth.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Doughnuts
Krispy Kreme in MOA and Tokyo Café
Two weeks ago, I had a movie date in Greenhills Theater Mall with my Mama Mia and Bubba. We watched Crank that stars Jason Statham and Amy Smart. I cringed a lot during the movie because it showed a lot of brutality and nekkid ladies and I was sitting beside my mom.
Right after the movie, the Krispy Kreme light was still on and dear mother craved for some hot donuts. She treated Bubba to a box of his choice donuts while we brought home a box.
Mother’s Day is around the corner. It is in fact this coming Sunday, the week following the Pacman – Hitman bout. One place I will surely head to is a Krispy Kreme outlet to get my mom a box of their lip smacking Apple Cheesecake Doughnuts.
Krispy Kreme fills the doughnut shells with tart, apple filling offset by a sugary drizzle of caramel and rich cream cheese icing. The Apple Cheesecake indeed looks like a mini cake with fresh slivers of red and green apples decorating the top.
Whatever you give Mom on Mother’s Day, it’ll be a small compensation for everything that she’s done for you.
Splurge on something decadent, sweet and indulgent for the occasion that celebrates the sweet loving woman in your life.
Serve for breakfast-in-bed with a steaming cup of coffee to start her day right or stop by any Krispy Kreme branch and treat her to the indulgence of the new Apple Cheesecake doughnuts, paired with Krispy Kreme Signature Coffees.

Sunday morning, Bubba, Tabs (Joyce my cutesy sister) and I drove to Fort to walk Chili, Jam’s beloved dog. We played catch at the same vacant spot where we played Frisbee before. It started to drizzle so we transferred to Bonifacio High Street. When we got there, the drizzle stopped. Since the two are heavy lumbers, I was the one who ran with Chili. We kept running and running until she had enough exercise (although Chili is a she, I was referring to myself).
Krispy Kreme was our stop for our morning breakfast. Sweet sugar loaded doughnuts early in the morning and steaming hot chocolate –that’s what you call power breakfast? So powerful that 2 seconds into the rush, Bubba had sugar crash. We ordered the usual of original glazed and Bubba’s favorite Hershey’s treats while we also tried the new Reese peanut butter doughnuts. I am a total Reese girl, but the peanut butter taste was a bit milder than expected.
Around lunchtime we headed over to CPK Greenhills branch. I got a Chicken Adobo Pizza coupon from Blog Bank that I decided to use that day.
On the Table:
Spinach Artichoke Dip PHP 625
Spinach and Artichoke dip served hot with blue and white tortilla chips. One of the usual appetizers ordered whenever at CPK. The chips this time around were quite smaller than what’s served in their Shangri-la branch. This appetizer was one of our conversation pieces on the table that day. We were trying to figure out what’s artichoke in Filipino.
Mediterranean Salad PHP 355
A chilled salad of cucumber, red onions, fresh tomatoes and greek olives. Tossed with crisp Romaine leaves in lemon-herb vinaigrette, served on a bed of creamy hummus. Topped with feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and Tzatziki sauce. Served with 2 slices of pita bread. This is the dish the majority agreed on that day –tug of war on portions.
Goat Cheese with Roasted Peppers PHP 515
Mild goat cheese with roasted red and yellow bell peppers, grilled Japanese eggplant, Mozzarella cheese, caramelized onions, Italian parsley in tomato-based pizza. Goat cheese and roasted peppers on pizza –what can go wrong?
Kung Pao Spaghetti PHP 255
A classic Kung Pao sauce with garlic, green onions, peanuts and HOT red chilies
Chicken Adobo Pizza
I didn’t get to try this but my sister Joanne and Bubba seemed to like it better than the goat cheese pizza.

For some odd reason, there was no usual Monday traffic along EDSA last night around 730pm and we were able to reach Mall of Asia by 810pm just in time for the Krispy Kreme launch of their newest branch.
When we got there, the venue was already packed. The weather was so dry yesterday that I couldn’t stand to be in a crowded place that after 15 minutes, I decided to grab dinner with Bubba instead.
After mulling around the mall and deliberating between Mojito, Pink Pepper and Seafront, we hopped to Tokyo Café to finally try it out.
On the Table:
Shrimp Bisque PHP 95
Delightful shrimp bisque with hints of spiciness
Chicken and Cheese Roll PHP 225
Bubba was disappointed with this because the outer crust was so thick that it eliminates the taste of chicken and cheese. Cheese wasn’t the usual gooey mozzarella according to Bubba.
Ebi Cream Pasta PHP 265
This was the winner among the three entrées we’ve tried. The pasta had enough creamy consistency on it and a generous helping of shrimps. Shrimps though didn’t taste fresh.
Hamburg and Shrimp PHP 265
2 burger steaks served on a hot plate with string beans and corn on the side. 2 orange battered shrimps complete the entourage. The coating on the shrimp was the same as the chicken and cheese roll. It was as thick too so after one bite, I had to put this on Bubba’s plate.

A busy Tuesday morning it was starting with a Eurocup meeting and an anti-piracy meeting afterwards. The meeting was about to begin when Mean called me and asked me if I ordered Krispy Kreme. I said no. Krispy Kreme Galleria Branch sent over a box of 12 melt-in-your-mouth original glazed donuts!!! I was surprised when they said there was a delivery of Krispy Kreme at the reception. I thought it was Bubba sending me 12 goodies, but it was actually from the branch!
Thanks so much! What a perfect way to ease my Tuesday and prep me up for the SATC premiere. Good vibes, good times!
