I never have doughnut for breakfast for long time and its nice to have it again this morning, paired with hot coffee? Yum! Can't complain! Krispy Kreme doughnuts is really good.  I can eat anytime of the day actually, you can eat it like this cold or you can put it on microwave for 30 seconds, perfect bite every time. I admit I'm a doughnut lover, my favorite one is the chocolate glazed doughnuts at Tim Hortons but this Original Glazed at Krispy Kreme is also quite good.:)

Guess who got the first bite? I bet the answer is pretty obvious on the photo. Have you notice the holiday wrapping on the doughnuts?

This twisted donuts coated with sugar is very popular in the Philippines as " Shakoy" , I don't know why local called it that way. There's lot of street vendors selling Shakoy at the streets, even bake-shoppe sell this yummy snacks too. Today, As usual my craving strike, and so here it is! fresh from my kitchen, and it tasted like back home! It's sweet, soft and ummhh..just simply good! I ate 3 pieces already (hahah) Don't tell!!
