The downside of living overseas is not being able to keep up to date with the recent happenings back home. In September 2010, Krispy Kream had opened its first branch in Bangkok. I first heard about the doughnut store from my Pinay partner/classmate Cha at the culinary school here. It was her who told me that the store was all over Manila ( It has more than 30 stores in Philippines). She raved how good their baked goodies were and suggested I try them when I get the chance. Upon learning their only shop was way too far from where I live I procrastinated.
It wasn't long before I remembered I hadn't gone to check their store at Siam Paragon when I saw a box of Krispy Kream doughnut sitting on the dining table at a friend's house. My friend offered it to me. I did not hesitate. That was my first Krispy Kream experience - definitely not my last.
