This time's meal:
Cheese cakelicious ₽49
It's coated with chocolate crisp on the outside,
and the filling is a savory cheese sauce.

For a Filipino dessert, this one balances sweetness with saltiness quite well,
and there's no need for excessive watering down! I want to buy it again next time~

My friend ordered apple tea,
and unexpectedly received a complimentary donut.
The apple tea is on the sweeter side, so my friend added a lot of water later.
The complimentary donut
has a texture similar to the traditional donuts from roadside stalls/bakeries in Taiwan.

Every month, the shop has various interactions.
If you're passing by, you can come and give it a try!

I would be willing to come back next time~~
Filipinos say this place is a bit pricey.

A 20 yuan item has increased in price this year.

To get straight to the point:

I won’t buy it next time.
I don't even have the courage to buy other items.
I can't taste the flavor of the twins.
It's really, really chewy.
It doesn’t have the feeling of being fried...

But grandma has been selling here for a long time!

But sorry, grandma,
I really can’t understand it.
It’s different from my impression.
20 yuan, I really want to eat wheel cakes.

Perfe’ dough is the Italian phonetic combination of the words "perfect" and "dough." The shop hopes to create perfect dough for everyone to enjoy, offering not only donuts and desserts but also coffee and some antiques and favorite utensils, reminiscent of a Japanese select shop. This well-known donut shop has been around for several years, and the new store on the first floor is clean, bright, and beautiful.

If I remember correctly, the owner fell in love with this type of donut while studying in England, which inspired them to dive into learning and eventually open their own shop. They even made it through the pandemic, which is truly impressive.

Due to its popularity, the front was busy with customers, and only the original flavor was available after a ten-minute wait; all other flavors would take over thirty minutes. Due to time constraints, I could only try the original flavor first. During the wait, the shop noticed they had an extra batch of blueberry donuts, so they bought some to try.

The original flavor does not have filling, but it is quite tasty right out of the oven—chewy and increasingly fragrant and sweet with each bite. The blueberry is rich and delicious. The shop insists on using good ingredients, which makes the prices a bit higher and requires a wait, but it's a great shop worth supporting.

#Open during the New Year
Normal business hours on New Year's Eve, closed from the first to the fourth day of the New Year.

Previously, the first time I ate there was beside the road at Erling Market. Recently, I had a craving for donuts and immediately thought of this place. After checking the address, I found out that the shop has moved to a location very close to Jinfuy Food Street (next to PX Mart/Jinyutang). The business hours are until six o'clock, but around four o'clock, the variety on the shelf was already quite limited. The prices range from 25 to 45 yuan, with not only the basic items but also filled varieties and refreshing flavors available.

In the afternoon, if you want some dessert, it’s affordable and quite satisfying.

• Original flavor $25
• Taro $35
• Red bean $35

I chose three items that are more approachable, but later realized I bought too many… two are enough to satisfy. I think the original flavor is comparatively crunchier; the exterior is only coated with sugar but is very tasty. A minor downside is that the donuts are all placed on the counter after being fried; while they aren’t super crunchy, you can feel that the texture has a hard shell, giving it a better mouthfeel than traditional donuts. The taro and red bean ones are round and plump, with a big chunk of filling inside. Personally, I really recommend the taro one; the taro fragrance is very strong and pairs well with the outer sugar, making it not too sweet. The red bean is a bit sweeter, which can be a bit heavy after finishing 🫘.

🧨#OpenDuringNewYear
On the eve of the Lunar New Year and New Year's Eve from 11:30 to 18:00. Closed from the first to the sixth day of the New Year and reopens on the seventh day.

Yuan Sheng Donuts is located at the entrance of the He Wei twilight market. I didn't buy a donut; instead, I was attracted by their crispy pastry buns. I casually bought a chocolate crispy bun, but before I could really savor it, my wife had devoured it in an instant.

The outer layer of this chocolate crispy bun is indeed very crispy; it makes a crunchy sound when you bite into it. Inside, it's filled with rich chocolate filling, which is slightly sweeter than I prefer but still within an acceptable range. She said that if it were fresh out of the oven and hot, it would probably taste even better, and the chocolate aroma might be more intense.

Overall, it was quite good. If I get the chance, I might also try their donuts. If they impress me, I would raise the rating!

【Foodholic Nako @ Kyoto, Japan】

“The Soymilk Donut (豆乳甜甜圈) is quite something” is a popular eatery located in Kyoto's Nishiki Market. Even though there were lines, we received our donuts quickly since they are made using automated machines!

In addition to the signature soymilk donuts, they also sell soymilk ice cream, but we had already eaten takoyaki in the market, so we just bought a donut to try.

We ordered the classic plain soymilk donut for ¥400. I think there were around 10 pieces (I was so excited to eat that I forgot to take a picture of the final product...). The donuts are freshly fried, small enough to eat in one bite, cute in appearance, and very soft inside. The main flavor is the aroma of the flour. Since they are small, we finished the whole bag in about a minute; one person could easily eat a whole bag!

Reviewer from Yatou: Takeout only

This is a well-known donut shop in Onna Village called Miyahonten, famous for its Ryukyu sweets, and it offers convenient parking at the entrance. Each donut is priced at 120 yen, with a variety of flavors to choose from. I bought plain, sweet potato, mocha, brown sugar, salt, cheese, and chocolate donuts, and I had to get my own bag to pack them before heading to the counter to pay.

However, the texture was rather dry, similar to steamed rice cakes but lacking the chewy feel, and it was a bit greasy, which was different from what I expected in terms of flavor. Personally, I do not recommend it. There was also a cute cat outside the shop.
