SailingHome Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Yup, I know well. I look for best value in things. Sadly, 1/8 the quality too IMHO. Old, rancid oil taste on Mr. YMMV.

TooPoopedToPop Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Is the hole twice as big then? Good question. The size of the hole is always an important consideration. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gennisis Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Only has them twice,but, I thought Krispy Cream doughnuts were better,but it seems not in Chiang Mai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 There used to be a Mr Churro near the university on Suthep road that was supposed to be good, But sounds like they may no longer be around based on this topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmym40 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I knew Dunkin Donuts were way overpriced and not really that good. They just don't taste as good as back in the USA. I think they are trying to get away from importing their "secret" ingredients and using the cheap Thai brand mixtures. I'm glad Mister Donut is making the Bavarian Cream donuts, they are pretty good.

BlackArtemis Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Yeah but DD has been playing with flavors. Their Charcol line has been really creative, but the BBQ flavor was rancid, Jalapeno is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A1Str8 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Of course its more expensive. You have to pay for that brand name. But nobody eats doughnuts anyway. Sent from my GT-I9500 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ignis Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Will eat the odd doughnut have tried both mister doughnut and dunkin doughnuts, sadly for me the taste is no better than the Lady and her husband that make them and sell in the local Village market, the price did go up last year and now [bought 2 yesterday] are 5 baht each. few years ago now but both mister doughnut and dunkin doughnuts did not last long, as a long way to supermarkets used to buy 6 to last for 5 or 6 days. day 5 they were very dry and only good for the dogs, the ones from the local market at a fraction of the price still are very good and soft on day 5. Maybe up there is also someone that makes them and sells in local markets ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses G. Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 have tried both mister doughnut and dunkin doughnuts, sadly for me the taste is no better than the Lady and her husband that make them and sell in the local Village market No offense, but I find it difficult to believe that homemade 5 baht Thai doughnuts are as good as Mister Doughnut and Dunkin Doughnuts (although you may enjoy that style). I have never tasted any that were. Kasem's market sells some really good ones, but they are 25 baht each. I would guess that the reason that the village doughnuts stay fresh longer is that they are frying the doughnuts in trans fats, but I am no expert.

NeverSure Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) No donut will be any good if they don't change the oil/fat/lard regularly. When I was a kid I worked in a bakery for about 4 years. The donut holes were sold as a specialty. LINK But with cake donuts that are made with a dropper, there is no hole to sell. They come out shaped that way. It was the yeast raised donuts that we cut from a large sheet of dough that produced the holes we ate and sold.

On the other hand I find no difference except price on a bunch of long Bananas cut down and sold in a Village market for 25 baht to the bunch sold at Big C at 130 baht for same size bunch.

TVJunkie Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 As far as plain glazed doughnuts go, for my money, Kasem has the best in Chiang Mai. They told me that a family member in California sends them the ingredients. They sometimes run out because of that. I really don't enjoy Mister Donut so I'm not swayed by the cheaper price. I agree that Dunkin' Donuts are not as good as back home. They don't have some of the flavors that we have in the states. I would kill for a Dunkin' Donuts chocolate filled right about now! That being said, Dunkin' Donuts is still my favorite overall in Chiang Mai. Someone mentioned earlier that Dunkin' is getting creative with the flavors. I agree that some of the flavors are a miss, but quite a few are a hit. When I'm in BKK I always grab a box or two of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. I didn't buy into the hype when Krispy Kreme came out in the states. I wasn't a huge fan. Oddly enough I actually like them much better here in Thailand. My Doughnut manifesto is complete.

daoyai Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 mister dognuts are just nasty, I remember warming one in the microwave because it was cold and the fat was hard so it had an unpleasant mouth feel, when heated the grease just flowed out, never again.... Kasems are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
