KRISPY KREME Opens Blue Ridge Branch in Quezon City + HALLOWEEN Donuts!

Folks at the Katipunan -Eastwood and Blue Ridge areas should be jumping for joy as the good folks from Krispy Kreme just set up a Krispy Kreme Factory Branch at Blue Ridge (along Katipunan Avenue in Quezon City). This means it'll be easier to get those lovely, soft, pillowy donuts that's loved by so many right here in the north.

For those who don't know, a Factory Branch is different from the usual Krispy Kreme kiosk you see in malls and establishments. This means that the store caters to the area, cooking donuts fresh so you get the best ones when you go to a Krispy Kreme branch near you. 

I made these! :) One is a garden, a monster, and a flower bed.

During the event, they also had us make our own Krispy Kreme donuts, and since it was Halloween, the 2 floor space of this store was full to the brim of other bloggers and influencers dressed as their favorite character for the season. Krispy Kreme also arranged several performances from real deal actors and actresses a whole musical filled with our favorite songs from Broadway to Disney.

Here's what happened on video (please watch closely as we're featuring the different donuts they have for Halloween that is available on a limited time):

We also got to talk to the Chief Operating Officer Sonny Tiong from Krispy Kreme Philippines and here's what he said about the new store!

Oh and when you see the HOT LIGHT turn "ON" on this particular branch, you can get a FREE glazed donut on the house (for those who are also buying of course!). The cute Halloween themed donuts will only be there for a limited time so make sure you get them all. They serve coffee, juices and other beverages too, so make the trip down Katipunan Avenue to get them fresh off the factory! Look for the Krispy Kreme bow tie sign, you wouldn't miss it!

Tim Hortons Now In The Philippines!

It looks like the Canadian's are here! Tim Hortons Canada's well loved and biggest coffee and baked goods chain just opened shop at the Ground Floor of Uptown Mall in BGC. The brand has existed for 50 years and they promise to bring the same good Double Double Coffee and signature doughnuts to the Philippines as this is their first franchise in the Southeast Asian Region.

The opening was graced by the DOT Secretary, Miss Universe Canada Siera Bearchell, and Canadian Embassy officials this morning.

The interiors are modern, farmed wood, could probably sit around 60 people. It's a busy district with nearby offices so expect it to be packed the whole day. They have ample wifi, so be nice and ask the barista for codes.

They are popular for Coffee, and as they say in Northern America they don't say I need Coffee anymore. They usually say "Let's go to Tim's! Let's go to Timmies!", understandably so.

Oh yeah, and the donuts are divine. You'll love the glazed ones, and the frosted ones too!

Other baked products like the cookies and muffins are also best sellers, so do get some before it runs out!

And never, ever, ever, ever go home without the TIMBITS which are delightful small donuts made fresh everyday.

A great cozy environment for coffee lovers and doughnut people alike. I guess they'll also be opening a few more branches here and around Asia soon so if you're too far right now, expect them in your neighborhood pretty soon!

Oh and if you want more, order the eclair because that's my fave! Trust me on that!

Twinkling Treats From Gonuts Donuts Plus!

I got so excited a few days ago because Christmas officially started in our home. Clad in my jammies and rags I woke up to quite a spectacular package from Gonuts Donuts!

Wooohpie! I was spinning around, jumping up and down and running around the house because I was so happy to receive gifts this early! Oh the joy, I just couldn't contain it! So I did the next best thing, I opened up the box and my eyes... just went teary eyed!

Now tell me, who in the right mind won't be happy seeing these awesome Gonuts Donuts treats on the table? Oh and may I just tell you, it was a dozen of these gorgeous donuts sent my way showing how much they really love me! You just instantly feel that happiness just resides in this side of the world! ^_^

Of course, I had to take a bite at these wonderful doughnuts!

Think about thick frosting with cutouts of sugar based candies that makes you close your eyes and wonder, how in the world did this happen? Then when you are caught unaware, a sudden burst of your favorite filling, the sweet mellow Bavarian, the oozing sweet Caramel and the tangy Lemon Cream. Well, they've got hundreds of reasons why people flock their stores in the metro. But these special ones would probably only last til Christmas season ends.

Then they made it even more special!

Do you know what's on this box?! =)

It was more Twinkling Treats from Gonuts Donuts! I bet these are Gingerbread cookies.

All wrapped up in individual packs are these gorgeous treats that's covered in glistening sugar and frosting. It's not too sweet and perfect for those kids who you don't want to end up with a sugar rush. This is something that I definitely would recommend if you want something to hang on your Christmas trees. Actually I got them all hanged up since then. Well, not really because I ate some of it haha!

I especially love the green one with the gingerbread man on top. It crumbles so slightly just the way I like it. I ate all these three because I need to take photos and sample them of course! :)

Now if you are up to it why not rush over to your favorite Gonuts Donuts stores nationwide and pick up some of these awesome treats that are only available this Christmas season! Oh and of course there are still some of your favorites like the Glazed Doughnuts which I absolutely LOVE! It's CRAZY! YOU MUST GRAB A DOZEN OR MORE NOW! It's time to go nuts with GoNuts Donuts!

Krispy Kreme Opens It's Second Branch in the South!

Krispy Kreme Alabang Town Center! It's near your place? What are you waiting for!

I love Krispy Kreme, who doesn't anyway! Glad to have witnessed the opening of the second branch in the south at the posh Alabang Town Center. This particular branch was different because they had their own "Baked Creations Theater" where the public can freely view how they bake those bread donut goodies that Krispy Kreme is also known for! Those savory - sweet products just replaces any comfort food you can think about.

Here's how the day went when they opened their doors in Alabang Town Center! YES it's their second store in the South!

I saw these containers from a distance; and of course being the filling lover that I am, I immediately wondered how they make those donuts without holes. My view was inadvertently startled by a kid and a crew in the counter.

She was making doughnuts! Woot! How cute is that?! =) Well if she can do it I might as well take the chance hehe. Yes I requested to make one too. They gladly wanted to teach me how. To make things extra sweeter, I marveled at the ingredients... plus this tub spinning around with CHOCOLATE fudge on it.

So I behaved and stopped myself from dipping my hand and putting them all on my mouth LOL. I proceeded to make my own doughnuts, yes ladies and gentlemen you can do it in this branch! Imagine that!

There were doughnuts with holes with them and those that didn't have one. The others were already using the first so I made mine with the latter. It was really hard putting in chocolate on it and making it look pretty. So in a nutshell, mine didn't look quite nice hahaha! (pero syempre LOVE YOUR OWN! LOL)

I just dipped the complete half of it and had the other side sugar raised. I also put toffee crunch toppings on that choco side. It was SWEET hehe. The team leader said it was good (binola pa ako no?) hahaha. Well don't worry I gave that up and just asked to watch in the Baked Creations Theater the professionals and checked how they do it. I was impressed!

Pouring dough mix on rings and adding the cheese, bacon, ham or other ingredients.

Baked after proofing these rose a bit. So that's why they have holes in them! =)

My favorite is the ones with Sausage or Bacon on them. You can really taste the meat and cheese! Yum!

The sweet ones have filling, chocolate, caramel or icing on top. I love the sweet versions of it!

Paired them up with iced, frozen or hot coffee and it's a done deal! =)

If you are a sweet tooth make sure you order this one (Caramel). It's a treat and I love how it cuts the savory - smokey flavors of the Baked Creations!

Putting up this particular store was in time for Krispy Kreme's 75th birthday. It was just high time that everyone in the South gets fresh baked creations that only Krispy Kreme can provide. Doughnuts and Coffee now wouldn't be the same in Alabang Town Center, make sure you drop by from 7AM to 11PM everyday before or after going to work or school. You'll thank me for it.

Congratulations on your 75th birthday Krispy Kreme! ♥
