Saturday 30June
we all went to my Aunt's (Xiao Gu) place to watch fireworks (closure of national stadium) & pot luck dinner

simply known as family gathering!

perfect view from her condo! we had the full view of the fireworks with sound effect..

and at the back.. this is what you see..
and thats my brother and CHELS! :) aren't she sexy? haha!


Sunday 1st July

and as i mentioned..
i went to queue for DONUT FACTORY!

i never imagine myself in the queue man. cause the first time when i saw that string of people queuing for some sweet circle thingy, i thought they were crazy!


let me explain myself! cause firstly, Tim wanted to go try it, and since its been a big who-ha in SG, even included in STB's Uniquely Singapore Itinerary.. i was really curious whats SO good abt their donut that made ppl willing to queue for hours for it. not 1 or 2 hours ppl.. i queued for almost 4. its 3.5hrs to make it right.

my verdict

  • it taste more like bread than donut (Amy said so)
  • its for the really sweet tongues
  • its nice but not worth queuing for 3.5 hours
  • best when slightly warm
  • staff is friendly
  • attractive enough
  • the variety they have
  • cheap a dozen (a box) for $11 for assorted flavours

its limited to 2 boxes per person, but i managed to ask Huiyee's friend for help, so i went home with 44 donuts! 4boxes. heh. 2 boxes for my mom's side, 1 box for my dad's side, 1 box for my family. in total me, Tim and Huiyee grabbed 10boxes. which makes up to 120 donuts!

though i kinda wasted my sunday off, but i cure many's curiosity. my mom's side relatives tried and enjoyed them very much. they went "ohhh this donut.. wahh finally get to try!" so 1 person's effort paid for abt 20 other's curiosity and "satisfy-ness" ops, there isn't sucha word huh?

its pretty good i must say! though i heard alot of negative comments on how lousy it was. its not exactly lousy. perhaps too sweet for my liking.. but i still enjoy the different flavours and soft texture. no harm queuing! ;p

and a drink to recommend to chocolate lovers!

GODIVA's dark choc drink - $8. not too bad..
