Donut Factory @ Suntec City

Donut Factory has opened another outlet at Suntec City just beside Carrefour. If you haven't heard, Donut Factory is famous for its delicious donuts and ultra long queues. I visited its new Suntec City outlet on Monday. Some pics here...



I was there at 11.15am and to my surprise there were only 30 people in the queue. The one at Raffles City would have been 4 times more! If you don't want to queue for 3 hours or more for the Donut Factory donuts, then I would recommend a visit to its Suntec City outlet. It took me only slightly more than an hour to buy my donuts.



There are even tables and seats for people to dine in. Did not see many people doing that though.



And there's also a line for those who prefer to buy a maximum of 2 donuts. I call it the express line.



A lady who works there informed me that they be taking advance orders soon. That means you can call them 24 hours a day to order your donuts. Yay! But no word if they will accept online orders.

And what do you when you have Donut Factory opening an outlet beside you?



Well, if you are Carrefour, you take out all your donuts to the entrance and sell them for 90 cents each! Now that's what I call a donut war. I did not try out the Carrefour donuts, therefore I'm not sure if they are any good. Guess I'm too happy with my donuts from Donut Factory.



I'm officially addicted!

Donut Factory @ Raffles City

I've always wanted to try out the donuts from Donut Factory located at Raffles City. Since its opening, the shop has become famous for its delicious donuts and extremely long queues.



I decided to head down to Donut Factory few days ago. I reached there at 10am. I thought I could try to beat the queue by going there real early but to my surprise, there was already a handful of people queuing and the shop wasn't even opened! Only later, some found out that the shop would only start selling donuts at 12.30pm. Argh! But people continue to queue up nonetheless.





I had no choice but to do the same because the queue was getting longer. By 11am, I counted at least 40 people in the queue and it was growing... fast!



When the shop finally opened, there was still the wait for your turn to place your orders. It was still agonizing. The line wasn't moving as fast as I thought it would. I only managed to buy my donuts at around 12.50pm. I bought a set of 6 which includes 1 Peanut Dark Chocolate, 1 Hazelnut Milk Chocolate, 1 Orange White Chocolate, 2 White Strawberry Heart and 1 Apple Cinnamon.



So is it worth the wait? I hate to queue especially for food and I can't believe that I actually queued for more than 2 hours for a bunch of donuts. But yes, it's worth it. The donuts at Donut Factory are definitely not Krispy Kreme but they are probably the best you can find in Singapore.

The White Strawberry Heart is definitely my favourite among the donuts that I bought. I wanted to get the Double Chocolate (dark chocolate filling) but they ran out of stock since it's the most popular of the donuts there. I was told that I had to wait another 10 minutes for it. I couldn't because I had to rush for a meeting. What a waste. Oh well, maybe next time.



Here are some tips for those of you who would like to brave the wait for these delicious donuts:

1) Go there early. 11 am should be fine.
2) Best if you have a friend along so that you can waste time chit-chatting away.
3) Bring along your iPod or PSP.
4) Read a book or newspaper.
5) Make sure you are wearing comfortable shoes.
6) And lastly, don't be shy to sit down on the floor. I did. Tired duh!

Donut Robot

With the current craze for donuts in Singapore, I wouldn't mind getting my hands on this Belshaw Donut Robot 42 to start my own little donut business. It looks vintage (and resembles an aircraft carrier) but it can make 384 donuts per hour automatically!

Dough-Nu-Matic

The Dough-Nu-Matic is an automatic donut making machine. It can produce 12 cute mini donuts in less than 6 minutes! I love donuts and I would buy this machine if it can automatically glaze the donuts ala Krispy Kreme and Donut Factory.

Dunkin' Donuts in Singapore!

Dunkin' Donuts may have shut down years ago in Singapore but you can still buy their donuts thanks to this website. Just place your order online, wait for a confirmation call and then collect your Dunkin' Donuts at City Hall MRT or Marymount Road on Sundays. I'm not sure where they get their Dunkin' Donuts from but I reckon it has got to be from Johor Bahru. Where else aye!
