When Krispy Kreme opened on the 27th April 2009 in Berjaya Times Square, rif queued up to get me some donuts (I was at work). Pictures are taken by rif, and text is quoted from him.

I reached Berjaya Times Square at 11am with my friend, Hoi Mun. Already, there was this freaking long line of people/donut fans outside Krispy Kreme. The line was so long, it stretched as far as Papa John’s Pizza.While waiting in line, the Krispy Kreme staff gave us some original glazed donuts to try. It was awesome!!! The sugar coating gave the donuts a sweet, “krispy” outside. I took a bite and the donuts were pillow-y soft on the inside (fresh out of the oven).After waiting for about an hour, we finally got to the inside of the Krispy Kreme outlet. The place was packed, but the staff worked at a rather fast pace. Below are some of the sweet offerings from Krispy Kreme. Another 15 minutes or so and we finally got our donuts. Bangsar-bAbE is very greedy, so I got her a dozen original glazed and another dozen of assorted donuts! =P

Bangsar-bAbE: I liked the original glazed best. I wanted maple flavour (I always had that in UK) but unfortunately, they don’t have it in Malaysia. The hershey chocolate donut (the white one with chocolate chunks) was insanely sweet! I could only eat half. Given my victorious track record at J.Co, I only managed 3 donuts that night, plus another 2 from Malcolm earlier in the day. The rest went into the fridge, and some (like the coloured sprinkles and remaining hershey’s chocolate) went straight into my sister’s tummy. =P
*Malcolm actually went there the day before (he slept there! o_0), and was no. 27 in line. He got a month’s supply of original glazed donuts, which he gave to me. Thanks! =D Thanks rif, for being so sweet and queuing up just to get me Krispy Kreme donuts. Muakss!!! =D

awwww so sweet…i wonder if ppl can just get full eating free donuts and walking off without having to queue..
the queue got shorter and shorter for the rest of the day. by 9.30pm, there was nearly no line!
I was there around 2 something and the queue is not that long. I don’t like cause the donut is very sweet for me but is really really soft.
wah lau eh… got someone who actually queue for you and then gave you the free month of donut supply :) normally it was me who queue up and buy for someone else… hahaha! Lucky you
very very sweet rite?? but i do like the pillowy soft texture!
is it that good?
The queue is simply scary.
RIF, I see that you and I share a drooling love for doughnuts. I simply cannot believe that line, though! I’m not sure if the taste of Krispy Kreme is different in different countries, but in the US I can’t stomach them. I love sweets, but even for me these are too sweet! However, there is definitely something to say about fresh, warm, pillowy-soft doughnuts. :)
wow, ur fren gave u her 1 month supply of donuts!!!
OMG… the lines!!!
They should come to Jakarta, the KK outlets are mostly empty here!!! Hahaha…
Lucky you, having one so SWEET to queue up for Krisy Kreme for you. Early-adopter, eh!
I haven’t had mine yet… hmmm.
Julian – Yes, I’m very lucky! Why haven’t try? Very busy, eh?
Selba – It’s only on the first day. I was there today, and there was just a small queue at the counter!
mimi – Yup, so good hor? =)
Sapuche – It was the first day, so the line was exceptionally long. When I tried it in UK, it wasn’t that sweet. I’m not sure why the ones in Malaysia are sweet.
Wow, you really are a donut freak. :p Thanks for the Big Apple donut last Friday.
I am also a donut freak. I used to love JCO donuts so much that every trip when I go to KL , I would definitely go there. Is Krispy Kreme better than JCO?
My Taste Heaven – I like Krispy Kreme better. But if you don’t like your donuts too sweet, then JCo is a better option!
Simon – Hahaha!! No prob, catch you soon! =)
Not2Eat – Ya..lucky I wasn’t the one queuing up! =P
foodbin – I’m a donut lover, Krispy Kreme especially so I think it’s good!
thenomadGourmand – Very! Some flavours I just can’t eat!
But the original glazed and the “cake varieties” rock! =D
leo – Hehehe…yup!
jenny – Yeah, I found the donuts sweeter than usual, it’s not usually this sweet in UK.
Sean – I guess the novelty was gone by then!
Joe – Hahahaha…I guess it is possible, if you’re greedy and thick-skinned! =P
aww so sweet! i dun really fancy KK as i aged (haha)..my tolerance for sugar has came down tremendously..
kbcg – Hehehe…I think we stop wanting too sweet things as we grow older. I feel the same way too, but I’m a huge fan of KK, so I’ll let this one slip! ;)
gosh! the queue is super long. so, which is the best among all the donuts???
ai wei – Yup…lucky I didn’t queue up. Original glazed!! It’s best with a hot cup of black coffee… =D
