Sour Kreme

Just another example of how fast things can get bad in HKG.

Two years ago, HKG was all agog and heralding the arrival of America's favorite donuts. Now, more than 2 years after the first store opened in Causeway Bay, Krispy Kreme has finally bid HKG goodbye.

I found out 2 weeks ago when we went to Mongkok. The shop near CTMA where I usually buy my Krispy Kreme was closed. When I went to Causeway Bay, I found out that the one there was closed as well. And my friends told me that the airport branches will cease to exist this month.

This is one example of how "things happening so fast" can be a bad thing. Now, aside from the usual chocolate cake, my HKG friends will be asking me to bring home some Krispy Kreme from Manila as well.
