Khristabelle Adelaide Teri, a former video producer turned baker is the brains behind Halo Doughnut. Founded during the pandemic, Khristabelle started baking in early 2020, her doughnuts gained popularity among her friends and not long after that convinced her to start selling them. Her artisanal sourdough doughnuts became a hot item at pop-ups and events around KL. Their few signature doughnuts include cinnamon affair, crème Brulee and Burnt & Salty. Halo doughnut does not have a brick and mortar. You can catch them during pop-ups and you can make your order online via Instagram.

These Bombolonis blew up on Instagram during the pandemic for their oozing indulgent fillings. Located in Subang Jaya, Sugar and I not only offer good Bombolonis, but you can also find other sugary treats and desserts. If you plan to visit Sugar and I anytime soon try their fan-favourite bomboloni, lotus biscoff, Matcha, Nutella, and Cookie Monster. You can also get them to deliver their doughnuts to you. The doughnuts arrive packaged neatly in a floral-themed box, which makes it a great option for gifting loved ones too!

Donut Plan offers handmade shokupan doughnuts—a cross between Japanese milk bread and classic American doughnuts. Its colourful creations feature a bread-like texture with a soft bounce and milky flavour. The menu rotates weekly, but some recurring favourites include Lemon Poppyseed, Yuri Matcha, and Hojicha Biscoff.
Hari Hari Dough

Based in Damansara Perdana in Petaling Jaya Hari Hari Dough is one of the newer doughnut shops on this list. Contrary to its name, the bakery operates on weekends only, as its founders work full-time jobs on weekdays. When you visit them over the weekend expect “chubby BBs” such as Sugar & Spice (a classic sugar and cinnamon topping), Pancakes (a crowd-favourite with maple syrup and vanilla sugar glaze), and Stingless X Salty (topped with trigona honey and sea salt flakes).
