I still don’t get why this donut place is called Big Apple. Not that I noticed any big ones around also. And I don’t think there were any apple-flavored donuts too.. but I finally managed to locate this place in The Curve when I was there 2 weekends ago. You’ve gotta try them, enthused Hijack Queen and Rinnah…. My plan was to try out these donuts when I was in The Curve in August but silly me, I forgot the name of the place and since I could not contact those 2 who recommended them to me, I had to tell my craving to wait. Until 2 weeks ago.
I gave Rinnah a call right before I hopped over to Big Apple. And she told me which flavors were good. So I got (bottom picture, clockwise from top left): Cocoring (Belgian chocolate – I chose this because the thought of Belgian chocolate melting in my mouth was just dreamy), Glacier (glazed sugar), Banana Rama (middle portion had a dollop of really sweet banana-flavored cream), California Almond (Almond flakes), Green Teaser (recommended by Rinnah; this one had green tea-flavored cream), Cool Blue (with blueberry jam).
I only had them when I got back to Penang, zapped them in the microwave first of course. Although most of the donuts were a tad sweet, I would have to give the thumbs up to the California Almond, Cocoring and the Banana Rama. I especially like the California Almond because it tasted somewhat savory, which was kinda different for a donut, I’ll have to admit. The Green Teaser did not taste as “green tea” as I expected.
But that being said, the taste of the donuts could have been marred by the fact that I did not eat them fresh. Would I go back again? I would say yes, but I would not go out of my way to get them…although I could very well do with one of those California Almond donuts now. 🙂

The Giddy Tiger says: I’m hungry now…
Why no donut shop in Penang? Hey if I knew you were heading there, I could have tumpang you to get me some.
The Giddy Tiger says: I didn’t know you were donut crazy!
I still like plain old sugar donuts… 😛
So even if I passed by the shop, don’t think I’ll buy any. 😛
The Giddy Tiger says: I remember those plain ones cost only like 20 cents in the school canteen last time!
The almond is my all time favourite. Another one you must try is their peanut butter. Sinfully heaven. Next time when you are here, we hook up again. ok? And you mean YOU LOST MY NUMBER?!!! How could you!
The Giddy Tiger says: Oooh, must remember peanut butter next time. Hey I didn’t lose your number la, because you never gave it to me! kekeke

The Giddy Tiger says: Yep, I think you should.
