donuts!

after lunch date with me evil twin and mr quek, i, being a lady of leisure, spent the afternoon at the beach yesterday - nuahing and running in the drizzle. it was quite a let down i settled down at about close to 3pm, by about 4+pm it poured. i waited till 5 and went for my run around the same route. loved it. its been so long since i last ran at sentosa. so though i didnt get to roll around a lot with my book i had a good time and i actually felt so much better.

i also took my first ride on the new monorail to vivo. nice! nicely aircon and clean and smooth. fast too. took about 10 mins or less from the beach... very good and islanders get to ride free so it's cool. the exciting bit was the crossing over from sentosa to main land... macham like travelling on water like that! woooohoooo... it was also cool that they placed like very friendly, engaging and polite young staff on the train, on the platforms and at the contact barriers... very very good service and really helps the adoption of the train by public... they are so cheerful and so eager to assist in anyway they can. if nothing else its great to be welcomed so warmly once u step out of the train or waved good bye when u leave. i bo liao so videoed the 43sec ride from beach station to impian station (i think i took about 5s to retrieve my cam and switch it on la... so one station ride about a min ba...fast right!). look out for the yellow and green uniformed staff waving on the platform when we pulled into the platform at the end of the video... heee.


met addy and WK for dinner at marche at Vivo. i dislike that place. the signages are hopeless. the shop directory is totally useless. they use terms like north court in the actual place but on the directory they no show where the hell is north court or watever, how to navigate?? i was frus coz it took me some time to find vinco donuts! tried to read the dam directory in the end also asked the info counter girl instead. silly la.

anyways i bot half a dozen donuts to try... did i tell u that i loveeeeee donuts? i mean really love them. since the closure of dunkin donuts chain i was very upset. i used to buy at the outlet at far east plaza. i still remember it was located at the now 7-11 outlet. so now even if i go m'sia thailand etc... confirm i will tabao juey juey donuts back and eat for like 2 days. haha. so right... when donut factory and vinco donuts opened in sgp... confirm i have to try rite? donut factory is out coz average queuing time is 2 to 3hrs... so i took a look at vinco since i was at vivo... NO Q! so exciting la! i bot half a dozen... my first try ma! well... not bad... verdict: soft and fluffy, light, not too sweet... not too bad at all! so i now really wondering are those at donut factory... same or about the same... is the 2 to 3 hrs queuing worth it?? i really wonder...wait for me one day really bo liao la... i go and q and tell u... haha... but anyway i do think vinco is ho eh! i would go buy again... no queue some more!
so here are (errrr...."were" is prob a better word... all since devoured by my donut-hungry family =P) the 6 i bought... top row: sweet sensation, might almonds, mon cherie; bottom row: choc cinnamon, original glazed (missing hole =P), mochattio. the yummiest ones: good ol glazed and mighty almonds - 2 THUMBS UPPPPP! there are like 18 flavours in all. i think one day i will go and order all and try. i love donuts... so yummy and they look so silly! funnee-looking food so makes it fun to eat!
