This newly-opened donut shop in Telok Ayer is my new favourite in Singapore now ๐คฉ๐
We chanced upon @citydonutsg after lunch in the CBD on a weekday afternoon, and i just LOVE all the local flavours infused into these donuts that make them so special! The doughnuts are also FRESHLY MADE and super fluffy which are a huge plus point ๐ The manager of the place, whom we got to talk to for abit, is also super friendly โบ๏ธ
My favourite was no doubt the ๐๐ซ๐ก ๐๐๐ (๐๐๐$๐.๐๐), which is featured on the cover pic!!! This is a solid 9/10 for me! JUST LOOK AT THAT ORH NEE FILLING ๐ฉ๐คค You could definitely taste the orh nee, and the filling was just the right level of sweetness, sweet enough for a donut, but not cloyingly sweet! Only downside was that eating the whole thing alone was abit too much HAHA cos its carbs on carbs ๐ But the second time I shared this with my friends and family, and they all loved it ๐๐ผ
The other crowd favourite was ๐๐ฎ๐ณ๐ฎ (๐๐๐$๐.๐๐), which I rate 9/10 too ๐ It has a distinct yuzu taste, which was really refreshing! Even those who donโt usually like yuzu really enjoyed this donut rendition of the flavour. Somehow, the yuzu helps to lighten the taste of the donut such that it doesnโt feel too jelak even though donuts are usually considered pretty greasy stuff! ๐ Another very well executed donut heheh.
I also tried the ๐๐ง๐๐๐ก ๐๐ง๐๐๐ก (๐๐๐$๐.๐๐) and ๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐๐ข๐ญ๐๐ฆ (๐๐๐$๐.๐๐), both of which were really interesting in their own ways - I rate them both 7-7.5/10! For the Ondeh Ondeh, I thought it could perhaps have more elements of coconut! And the filling was slightly too sweet towards the end (though I loved the Gula Melaka ๐คค). The Pulut Hitam was pretty decent too, but I guess I prefer the dessert itself because Iโm not that big a fan of cream (though you can defo still taste the pulut hitam element in the doughnut) โบ๏ธ
While Iโve had my fair share of donuts whether in Singapore or in Melbourne, I really love local flavours - which will make me go back to City Donut for the Orh Nee and Yuzu doughnuts! ๐๐๐ผ
