Krispy Kremes, I worship thee!

Today was a yummy yummy day for my stomach. Bad, yet again, for the love handles I am starting to see appear all over. But ooh yes, my tummy has created a shrine for..

Krispy Kreme's orignal glazed donuts!

Yes these holed jewels are completely mind-blowing. Guys should beware because these donuts provide orgasmic sensations to girls more powerful than the male species think they can! Haha ok I'm exaggerating. But these were dead good. Hot crusty donuts straight out of the frying pot, glistening with a layer of semi-melted opaque sugar glaze. When I popped one in my mouth, my eyes popped too! The sugar glaze just melted, and the pastry was soft and thinly crisped at the same time.

I lusted for more than one. Ended up finishing TWO AND A HALF donuts all by myself in a span of 5 minutes. Lucky for me (haha I'm so evil), Meng had a bad tummy from eating too messy a crepe an hour before, so he only managed half of his donut. I scoffed down the other half, only after mock-pretending to refuse it :) Haha. And they give away free donuts to people standing in the line (the line was constantly long). Whole free donuts, not bite-sized samples. Amazing stuff. The last time I had a Krispy Kreme was like 2 years back, when Ryan flew back 4 dozen long boxes from the States for his party. And those were 1 or 2 days old. But nonetheless, still fantastic. You can imagine just how awesome the hot ones tasted on the spot.

Alright, I shall spare everyone from my continuous gushing over my newfound love. Harrod's at Knightsbridge was fantastic. The food hall was really nice, and all with a price to match too. Chocolates, pastries, an amazing patisserie section, international food, lots of tins boxes with candy, shortbread, and nuts. Ooh yummmyyy. Meng got this monster of a pork pie from one of the halls. He never learns his lesson not to eat food that kills his tummy for the entire day. This pie was nearly half a kilo in weight and larger than his palm spread-eagle! It was stuffed full of cooked pork and a thick layer of pork gelatin. Pork lard was the third listed ingredient on the label so you can imagine just how much lard there was in there. Euchhh! He barely finished half of the pie before he attempted to break British laws by feeding the rest of the monster to the eager pigeons surrounding us. Haha and all this was after he chowed down on a crepe filled with heavy chocolate syrup, chocolate bits, bananas, whipped cream, double cream, dessicated coconut and butter. Why oh why doesn't he act like a normal person and be contented with a crepe suzette? Haha but in London, he's actually been eating less than me. Miracle of miracles!

So yeah today was nothing but food food and more food. I had donuts, a huge poppy seed loaf, chocolate, a fritata, an entire bag of Jelly Bellies, an entire bag of yogurt covered raisins... All before dinner. I am a certified British pig.

Oh gimme that Krispy Kreme original now!

Would anyone wish to indulge in a Krispy Kreme feast with me when I get back? I could attempt to fly 2 dozen back with me, though I'm not sure if that's a good idea. I'm still trying to figure out how to persuade the Top Management of Krispy Kreme Co. that Singapore is a worthy place to set up branches in, but in the meantime, any takers for a pigout?
