Yet Another Big Apple Post.

Waaiit! Before you head for that ‘x’ but­ton on your top right, hear me out first! Yes, Big Apple Donuts & Cof­fee has finally landed in Kuch­ing. Yes, this is (yet another) post about Big Apple donuts (in Kuch­ing). Yes, this post is gonna be laden with pic­tures of donuts and peo­ple buy­ing donuts. And yes, I’m gonna use all superla­tives that ever existed to describe how a Big Apple donut taste like.

And no, there’s noth­ing uncom­mon about this post. Hehehe.

Seri­ously, every­one in Kuching’s blo­gos­phere has been talk­ing about the new Big Apple Donuts & Cof­fee out­let in The Spring. And I’m not los­ing out! =P

Ever since my first encounter with J.Co donuts last year, I’ve been crav­ing for those heav­enly rings for like ever. I wanted them so bad, I got myself another box of donuts, but this time, in Big Apple’s when I went to KK in Feb­ru­ary.

Now, Big Apple has finally set foot here in Kuch­ing! And bet­ter still, it’s just right across the road from cam­pus. =P Yay! No more squashed donuts in travel bags all the way from KL or KK! What would you call this? Donuts finally within reach! xD

Big Apple in the Spring

So it was after lec­tures this after­noon when my bud­dies and I decided to try out Big Apples since Lao pan has been talk­ing about want­ing to go over for some Big Apples for the past week. The queue was okay so we decided to share two half-dozen boxes.

What I always liked about the two donut chains is their outlet’s deco. There’s always an abun­dance of glass and how every process of the donut mak­ing is eas­ily vis­i­ble to customers.

The making of Big Apple

..like this sec­tion show­ing vis­i­tors how they apply the donut top­pings. You actu­ally don’t feel the wait despite the rather long queue when you get to look at how your favourite donuts are pre­pared. =D

Ah Soon and me lined up while the oth­ers went for a stroll around the mall. Soon, it was our turn and we picked away while sali­vat­ing at those very, very tempt­ing donuts.

Lining up to pay
My box of donuts in queue at the cashier.

We then drove back to Swin­burne in Kee Seng’s Altis when we realised, we had no proper place to eat those donuts. In all its odd­ity, we ended up hav­ing a donut feast on the 1st floor of the car park LOL.

So there we were, six of us, stand­ing out­side the Altis savour­ing every bite, with Kee Seng’s two boot woofers blast­ing to the max. It was sure as hell the most ran­dom way I’ve ever eaten a donut. xD

Big Apple donuts

Of the six in a box, I ate one in the car park and Ah Siat took another one. Leav­ing four which I took home for my family.

The donuts were damn nice all right. Thing is, we Kuch­ing­nites had grown up eat­ing those 20 cents apiece sugar-coated donuts avail­able at road­side kueh stalls. Then sud­denly comes this Big Apple store that doesn’t sell apples but instead sells donuts at ten times the price we’re nor­mally used to pay.

And if you’d ask me, even at 2 bucks a piece, they’re still freakin worth it. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again — it’s worth every sin­gle penny man. But still, 2 bucks a piece for some­thing that size isn’t all that cheap. Like Ah siat said, Big Apples are eas­ily the most expen­sive donuts he had ever spent on.

That said, hav­ing spent on a half-dozen box of Big Apples, I’m offi­cially broke for the rest of the week. =(

    Well they say local-born Big Apples is a bla­tant copy of Indone­sian donut chain J.Co’s. And since I tasted both and couldn’t really tell the dif­fer­ence so what the heck right? Might as well sup­port a local brand. =D

    ..and of course, Big Apple is the only one in Kuch­ing so its obvi­ous where the sup­ports goes to. =)

    Hehe, I thought it was nifty too.. Save your­self some time and get it here: http://regua.biz/acp/

    @Hans. L: Been there, done that. That sting­ing sen­sa­tion sucks man. But that was a long time ago..hrm, that also means a dentist’s visit is long over­due for me too. =\
