Croughnuts at Dolcelatte Cafe & Gourmet Bakeshop

Other people said they were underwhelmed, it was very meh & that it was just another overpriced pastry. But I had to try it for myself to find out.

A delicate puff pastry of a croissant shaped into a round doughnut, which is then deep-fried, filled with cream, and coated with a light glaze.

Luckily we walk-in by 3:30pm, but the catch is, all walk-in customers have an assorted flavors which means that you will not allowed to choose flavors.

Php 110 each

Once I got my grubby little hands on them, I excitedly opened the box. I take a bite of each Croughnuts, holding one in each hand.

OUR RATING:

Choco Macarons - 4                Raspberry Cream - 5

Peanut Butter Crisp - 4.5        Apple Cinnamon - 4.5

Choco Caramel - 4.5               Lemon Meringue - 3

Choco Caramel

Lemon Meringue

They are made fresh everyday and they come in eleven (11) flavors.

• It was crunchy outside but soft and chewy in the inside.
• The glaze on top and the cream inside really made this very delectable.
• Not that buttery and sweet.
• Flavors of each topping and the filling blend well.

Be reminded to consume it, its not refrigerated or toasted. It's also a great pairing for coffee.

Kronuts at Chatime Pioneer

It's time for Chatime! I must say, tea is definitely a great thirst quencher! They will start to sell their very own version of Kronuts every 12:30pm, so I'm very certain that my very first bite of their Kronuts will happen. Exactly 12:30pm, I arrived at Pioneer Center, Shaw Boulevard to try this mini pastries of Chatime.

While waiting for my turn to get the Kronuts, I ordered  my favorite:

Mango Green Tea
less 70% sugar level, no sinkers
Php 80.00

It was so refreshing for a gloomy afternoon

It taste like donut that are deep-friend dough, sprinkled with white sugar and bavarian-like feeling inside.

Dark Chocolate and Vanilla Combination Kronuts;  Vanilla Kronuts
Php 55 each

Our first thought was that, the place had no seats or place to hang out and it was pretty small, but then they actually had a dining area on the second floor. A lot of customers come by just to enjoy a cup of their delicious drinks.

I surely be back again soon. Thanks Chatime!

Cronutz at Anybody Coffee TriNoma

Here in Manila, the latest craze is for the Cronut™. And there's no doubt, that Chef Dominique Ansel had a great idea of creating a new version of croissant with a twist of making it a doughnut, which is why many have unveiled its version of the hybrid pastry.

One of the new coffee shops is Anybody Coffee who followed the new trend of selling another version which is Cronutz. It comes with five (5) unique flavors which are...

Dark Chocolate; White Chocolate;
Milk Chocolate; Strawberry;
and Pistachio

Verdict

I like the Dark Chocolate Cronutz because of the right sweetness level. On the other hand, the topping of other four (4) Cronutz are a little sweet to my taste. Overall, I like the quality of their Cronuts, so I'll surely come back for more Dark Chocolate Cronutz.
