I am not a big fan of donuts, really I am not. Apart from the occasional chocolate coated donuts and the fantasy of eating the highly aclaimed Krispy Kreme. I don't even really like dunkin donuts. So today, the fact that I queued for over half and hour at the newly opened donut factory at Raffles City is quite bewildering. I blame that I was half an hour early for my class gathering at 6.30pm and saw the queue and decided to join 'em, and see what's the big deal about. I didnt know that it would take so long to reach my turn, but that's because everybody else bought boxes of the stuff, it was really madness. I wanted to walk off after about 15mins, but I figures since I had already waited so long, not way was I leaving without trying it out. So there I was, having fantasies about biting into the chocolate filled or peanut butter filled donuts. The damn thing was that when it reached my turn, all that was left was the strawberry filled one %&#@*$ because the person in front of me bought 2 boxes of it. The lovely girl at the counter could see I was quite disappointed,especially after queueing so long, so she tried to persuade the lady in front to swap one of the peanut glazed donut with the strawberry one since she had four, but she refused. Oh well, it's a fair world after all, and there are nasty people around, especially those that dare to deprive me of peanut butter donut. But its alright. The strawberry filled one was very nice. The donut was soft and fluffy and utterly and deceptively non greasy. When I bit into it, strawberry jam spurted out. It's so nice that I would definitely be back to buy, preferably during non-peak hours.

Anyway I am glad I ate the donuts to tide over my hunger cos we only started eating around 8 plus. It was so crowded everywhere. We went to Miss Clarity Cafe and waited ages for the table. But at least the food there is pretty good, but at that kind of price and portion, I have nothing much to complain about. Their soft shell crab creamy pasta is really nice, though the pasta is not al dente enough and I had to season it with some salt as it was somewhat bland. But what takes the cake is really their dessert. I had the durian indulgence and it was so deliciously creamy and rich. I wouldnt say the same of their brownie too, it was a tad too dry...
