Feeling Randy

After my pre-New Year lunch with Mark at Shangrila Mall, I dropped by True Value on the 6th floor to get some LED bulbs.

Lo and behold, a few feet away from the hardware store, there was a Randy's Donuts kiosk!

I've been wanting to try this since they opened in BGC early this year. And it's so awesome that they finally opened one near the office.

Tried a dozen donuts and went for the premium ones. They had flavours like Red Velvet, Coffee, Hazelnut, Oreo, S'mores, among many others. The one that really caught my eye was the Raspberry-filled Glazed donut. And yes, it did not disappoint.

The donuts are really good! Not too sweet, the right amount of doughiness and chew, and the size is definitely bigger than the usual donuts. Which should be expected given their price point.

This is going to be a great addition to my donut repertoire.

Donut Ignore

The first time I saw Randy's Donuts was during a trip to the US in the early 2000s. 

Back then, it was the heyday of Krispy Kreme that's why I ignored this donut brand. Apparently, it's an iconic brand in the US, and it's also as well-loved as Dunkin' Donuts and Krispy Kreme.

It's such an icon that it appeared in many, many films. But what I remember most is that scene from "2012" where the donut was in the midst of all the natural calamities. Now, that's hard to ignore.

Since then, I've always wanted to try Randy's Donuts. But they don't have an outlet in GA or FL, and I haven't been to CA in ages. So, until now, I haven't tried Randy's.

But it seems like it's all going to change! Randy's Donuts is opening in Manila, and their first store will be in BGC!

I can't ignore the fact that I'll finally be trying Randy's very soon!
