The Ultimate Doughnut in Kuala Lumpur
Photograph by David Hagerman of EatingAsia
Robyn Eckhardt of Kuala Lumpur-based food blog EatingAsia isn't much of a doughnut fan, but she finds the ultimate doughnut in the morning market at OUG. What does the ultimate doughnut taste like?
When it's still hot its skin is crackly-crunchy, with nary a hint of grease. Inside it's yielding, melting even, almost to the point of mimicking a firm custard. As the donut cools it retains some crispiness, while the interior becomes a fluffy pillow that meets the teeth with a bit of resistance. It smells and tastes of baked grain first, and then of some - but not much - sugar.
Unsurprisingly, she and her husband go back for seconds. And thirds. And then go back the next day for more.
And now I must go to Malaysia for doughnut perfection.
