mmmm..... Krispy Kreme Doughnuts....mmmmmm

After a long time of my sister talking about Krispy Kreme Doughnuts in England, I now know what she is talking about!!

Ian's brother is a donut freek! - he loves the pink "Donut King" donuts that you get in Australia (He lives in Wellington - NZ) so when ever he comes to visit, the first stop on the way home to our place from the airport - is donut king!

We heard that krispy Kreme Doughnuts had made it to Melbourne....sooo.... we thought we would see how they measured up to the good old Aussie Donut King (they even spell donut differently!!!) - for those of you in England - have a look at http://www.donutking.com.au/ - you will see the pink ones with holes.....yummy!

When Ian and I were in Melbourne with all the family recently we took a drive into the city so we could check it out - we had heard that the queue to be served was 30mins long, so we got out of bed early on Sunday morning, drove into Collins Street (Central Melbourne) and sure enough - Krispy Kreme Donuts in all is Green and white spotted glory..... and yes we queued!!!! - We had to buy Rob a Mug so that he had a momento to take back to NZ - Now I know you are dying to know how they compared, well I think Rob said during the day that he liked Donut King better, however as we brought 4 dozen mixed and original - yes thats right four dozen!!!! - we wanted to try everything...... we gave Rob, Kerri, Becky and Trene a box to take to the airport and eat on the flight back to NZ that night - we had a text from Rob - he said the original glaze Krispy Kreme Doughnuts were good! - so Rach, when you come to Australia you may have to settle the argument once and for all.......

Check out the Krispy Kreme Doughnut expedition photos - hmmmm - for the record my favs were the originals as well.......Girls, what else is good - let me know your favs.....
