On Donuts and Coming Back to Life

I finally got to taste the donut of The Donut Factory. It's okay, I suppose, if there's no Krispy Kreme around. Hehe. I've been totally spoiled by Krispy Kreme, especially my favorite varieties: Original Glazed, Glazed Cruller, Glazed Sour Cream and Caramel Kreme Crunch. Oh, such yummy goodness. :-) Can't wait to be back home for Krispy Kreme (among others, hehe), and when I go back home in December, there will be two branches in Trinoma. Yahoo! I don't have to go to Bonifacio High Street or to Megamall anymore. Krispy Kreme will just be, so to speak, right around the corner.

Going back to Singapore donuts though, I think there's an even better donut brand here in SG. I got to taste it in one of the talks sponsored by the ARI. I don't know its name though or where it's being sold. The box simply said 'Yummy'--or was it 'Munchy'?--and I assumed then it was the donut brand's name. It was so good I had, ahhmm, 5. Hahaha. (I didn't have lunch, ok? And that was already between 5.30 and 6 pm. Hehe. Anyway, my favorite was the Cookies and Cream variety). I was tempted actually to ask the organizers where I could get the donuts, but was too embarrassed to ask. (I mean, I didn't ask a single question during the talk's open forum it just didn't seem appropriate to ask about the food.) So, if there's anyone who knows where to get these 'Yummy' or 'Munchy' donuts, please let me know. :-)

I suppose I'm feeling pretty fine and quite back to my usual self now that all I can think about again is food. :-) I'd been sick the past week. It started out with some occasional coughing that turned into an annoying sore throat that developed into a full-blown fever. Two nights, my fever was so high I was delirious. I didn't really think I'd ever go back to being well. Being sick used to be fun when I was a kid or even a few years back. Well, yes, I'd feel really bad, but there were perks: I could skip class, have my mom come to Manila to take care of me, and get cakes and flowers and cards from loving friends. Ahem. Now, getting sick is just one big hassle, and it really takes its tool. Bawal na talagang magkasakit.

Anyhoo, I'm just glad to be well again, and able to move about--to play tourist guide to a visiting cousin, go to school and add to my collection of photocopies, go to Ikea and get lamps and have Swedish meatballs, and think and write about food again. :-)
