the cupcake has been off on holiday recently, galivanting off to KL and Singapore for eight days. since i was in the vicinity, i decided to wander down to The Pavillion, KL's newest shopping mall, specifically to check out J Co Donuts. they are an Indonesian company set up in 2005, with 16 outlets in Jakarta alone and another 21 scattered in the main cities. they expanded to Malaysia recently, opening two branches, the one in The Pavillion and another in Sunway Pyramid. they have been such a hit that queues at the Pavillion branch usually average one hour of waiting! (although i only waited for 15 minutes! guess i was lucky. after i joined the queue, another twenty people joined me...) back to the products, the donuts. yes, they are worth it. i am a simple girl at heart so i love the Glazzy, a sweet honey glazed donut. similar to the Original Glazed Krispy Kreme but not as teeth-meltingly sweet. their best seller is actually the ALCAPONE, belgian white chocolate with slivers of californian almonds on top. the list is endless, you can go crossed eyed while choosing your dozen or so (hell, if you have to queue that long, you might as well grab a few dozen!) my verdict...Love it!!! in the end, i picked up 2 Glazzy with 4 others. they were all gorgeous. if you are ever in KL, do drop by and grab some for me!

I hear the new J Co Donuts "clone" Fun Donut in Yayasan here is doing just as well with queues an hour long!! (As shared by two people I know).
Plus the donuts are pretty close in style and taste to J Co's apparently...
And now there's another Donut shop over in the Gadong area...something called L.A Donut but there aren't that many choices yet..
..plus it seems like someone's planning on opening another donut shop at that new Kiulap Plaza Hotel. Seems like the donut craze is about to start in Brunei altho I do recall Dunkin' Donuts started it all a couple years back which unfortunately didn't go down too well with us locals at that time.
Cupcake..if you thought the queue in KL was long, u should check out the queues over in Jakarta..lagi lumayan!! Still regretting not checking it out whilst there *SIGH*
