touch down at krispy kreme

Today, I managed to get myself INSIDE Krispy Kreme store in Fountain Gate. I went through pass the door after 40 minutes of standing outside in the cold.

The store fairly big. Once you go in through the doors, you'll see the toilet on your left. The toilet has a baby change facility BUT only one at a time, which can be a bit hard after drinking lots of water to wash down the sugar from the doughnuts (or donuts, the way they say in the states).

Alrighty back to the store. Once you pass the toilet and the rubbish bin. Trust me, this is the worst place to queue - the door to the toilet is very big and swing outwards, i.e. towards you, so make sure you stick to the right.

After that, you'll be entertain with the process of "making the original glazed". They have explanation for each step of the way but it's a bit hard to read considering that people are still queuing there. Well basically the donuts are rollep up and down, up and down, up and down and then fried on the oil, flipped, glazed and cooled down (just to keep things short).

Passing the donut-making-demo, I was greeted with a donut - I should say it's FRESH from the conveyor belt. It was a sample that was given to everybody. But somehow after eating that donut, I don't feel like ordering anymore donuts. I don't know why. Maybe the blood sugar is talking.....I don't know. But the donut is soft, warm, and totally sugar loaded......yummm.

Ok, then when you finish the 'charade of donuts', you actually get to ORDER. Then you pay for it. You can pay by cash (of course), eftpos and credit card (Amex not yet - according to the staff, Amex is still working on it but it's been more than a month and they still haven't fixed it).

Well, my trip this Sunday took 67 minutes from the outside until I received the donuts in my hand. The total was under $60 for 2 sampler and 2 bottles of Mt. Franklin. This does not include the travel time and petrol etc etc. Was it worthed ? I don't know. Frankly, I can't answer that question. One side you know that queuing for donuts is stupid but on the other side, well let's just say you need the sugar.

Don't know whether I'll be back pretty soon though. Although maybe I just might......
