How funny that you say that everybody likes donuts- I really hate them- no really (not lying). The reason is that I once worked in a shop that sold donuts and it wasn’t a pleasant experience- the smell to this day makes me feel ill. Strangely enough I worked at a shop that sold curry straight after and I still love my curry so not sure what happened there!!

oh Donuts. My grandma makes these for me when we got camping. They are so good! Yours look delish too.
Glad I found your site. I’m a dessert obsessed person too!

Sunshinier — Oh no! That’s a LOT of pounds! I don’t mean to make you feel worse but man, I can’t imagine what that’s done to your heart. It’s good though that there’s a Fitness First now on top of Gonuts. And sister, I can enter your pain. I’m still losing ‘em pounds that settled on my hips…

Does anyone know how many calories each Gonut thingamajig has? I must say that the mocha lite is wonderful! Tastes like mocha birthday cake! Must try…. And Krispy Kreme is coming to town soon…..

I’ve always wanted to make my own donuts, not to mention onion rings, but I’ve never purchased a deep fryer. There is something so scary about all of that hot oil!

A few years back, the donut industry had accepted that that the Philippines was NOT a donut country. What kept them going was the insight that donuts were merely (and primarily) bought as “pasalubong.” They were handy, accessible, nicely packaged and very affordable.

And then, from out of the blue, Gonuts Donuts shattered this perception and created a whole new and amazing donut experience for us Filipinos. It truly takes a good product to shake and revolutionize the category and even change the way people think. And eat

im no donut fan. i wouldn’t know the difference between a fried and baked donut if it stared me in the face. but i LOVE cello’s donuts — the only one i could have more than a piece of in one sitting.

now, are they baked or fried?

before gonuts came in, i ptaronized mr. donut and country style..but as you said, fried donuts like Gonuts border on orgasmic!!! when gonuts was new here, my hunny and i dropped by everynight for 1 month at the then- only gonut shop in the fort..we could gobble up 3 donuts each before we even get out of the fort…after a month, i gained 25 lbs…and those pounds were soooo difficult to lose =(

another major difference: Dunkin Donuts are baked while Krispy Kremes are fried. i personally like fried donuts. there’s something about its comfort food feeling.

Just learned a weird thing recently: there are no donut shops in HK. Either that or the actual donuts they get have the taste and consistency of bitso-bitso. I was just amazed to hear stories of people hand-carrying dunkin’ donuts back to HK for pasalubong. I haven’t gotten to the bottom of the story of why donut franchises never got to set up there, but one story goes that the donut looks offensive (?!). In that case, I should set up a business there selling donut holes (munchkins) and cruller-type pastries -then sell the contraband from the back door (hehehe). –K
