Teh shop is pretty hidden in sheung wan, if your google map doesn't fail you, you'd get there from the A2 exit in no time (unlike mine which just decided to not work at all.....) The environment is quite nifty, quiet with graffitis on the alley walls is just hip enough for a donut shop .

The female barista greeted with a warm welcome and gave me an short introduction of their donuts, they said their donuts were organic (which triggered my first alarm)
To be fair, I’m a simple dude, I just want donuts, plain, simple with some cinnamon on top preferably hot and a bit doughy together with a cup of coffee would just make my day. But when I asked, they actually don’t serve regular donuts but only ones with icing,(*now this is crucial, donuts with icing usually taste stale, I usually just call them bagels with icing because it taste like bread, I should have left at that point, but I just needed donuts) She then recommended me the mimosa ice cream with earl grey icing donuts, Donuts with ice cream sounds great on paper and should be the new bread and butter, I’m surprised why no one’s done it before.

Well, here’s why, it just doesn’t work.
unless you have a massive sweet tooth, you’d probably don’t want to eat sweet things after this, the icing on the donuts are just fighting with the ice cream, in fact you can actually taste the ice cream losing the battle in your mouth and being overpowered by the earl grey icing. The mimosa ice cream itself would taste incredible when eaten separately, the slight scent of lemon is just perfect for this season. But now sandwiched between the donut, I just can’t taste what it was supposedly to be, which leads me to the donut. It taste like a bagel, because of the ice cream. Like watching 2 beautiful people in an abusive relationship, just tearing each other apart. They should just offered plain donuts for this donut sandwich, or are they covering stale donuts with icing? Hmmmm

And furthermore, for a donut THIS sweet, it really doesn’t matter how organic your ingredients are, you’re still gonna gain weight or diabetes after this.
And to charge a donut sandwich and a cup of coffee and hundred bucks?
Only a hipster or a fool would pay that money.

Another thing, I was having my treat across the table with a young teenage couple that just won’t stop making out, which made the experience even more awkward.
Will I visit again? Probably?¯\_(ツ)_/¯
