YA KUN KOPI PON DE RING, S$3
But the ‘kopi’ for this Ya Kun and Mister Donut collab is also a doughnut, albeit one that has Ya Kun’s old-school kopi-o blended into Mister Donut’s chewy Pon De Ring (oh, and the Japanese creator of this garland-shaped doughnut is an interesting guy).
The doughnut is then dipped into coffee-flavoured milk chocolate, which is actually as bitter as Nanyang-style kopi-o due with visible specks of coffee powder. We don’t fancy its tannic bitterness, but the mochi dough has a lovely coffee aroma. A respectably impressive attempt at translating our local kopi to a Japanese doughnut.
Mister Donut x Ya Kun Kaya Toast’s collaboration doughnuts are available from Aug 1 to 31 at all Mister Donut outlets islandwide. For details on outlet locations, go to www.res.com.sg/en/brands/mister-donut.
