Krispy Kreme brightened up our Tuesday morning by sending over a box of their newest product that's bright green and has a very familiar scent. It was perfect time as Paul and I were actually on our way out for work and he was still feeling a bit hungry from breakfast so this special donut was like heaven's answer to his hunger pleas. He took a quite bite and commented that the icing tastes like Coney Island's Bubblegum Ice Cream. He offered me a bite to which I took and it actually reminded me of my favorite childhood bubblegum brand -- Bazooka. Personally though, I am not a fan of overly sweet nor minty donuts so the Original Glazed Donuts are still my #1 favorite. This is a limited time offering as it is Krispy Kreme 's way of welcoming the launch of the first ever blockbuster movie this year -- The Green Hornet . A show, we're both very familiar with as we grew up catching certain episodes of the TV Series. Paul remembers Britt Reid, a newspaper publisher ...

Here's a refreshing addition to the growing line of choices at Krispy Kreme ! We're big fans of of KK's donuts but normally would just get their Original Glaze as the chocolate-y ones are too sweet for our liking. While I was initially sad that they were out of Pull Aparts today, I took a bold step and tried the newest item on their glass case -- the Mango Creme Cake ! I was hoping that the cream where the sweet cubes of mangoes were lying was not too sweet or rich. I guess, I have to take my first bite to find out. I love the different texture that this particular doughnut has, it surely was similar to a flaky cake that slightly crumbles as you slice it up. I love the sweet mango cubes and yes, the cream was light and smooth. Hooray for Krispy Kreme's newest creation. :)

Just when we thought the Krispy Kreme is all about sweet, melt-in-your mouth donuts, a visit to their drive-thru branch in Greenhills made us discover their newest masterpiece! Introducing the Baked Creations ! It comes in two variants: the Pull Aparts which is a soft hand-rolled bread topped with either a sweet (Cinnamon) or savory (Bacon & Cheese, Sausage & Cheese, Cheese) topping. Another variant is the Kruffins which is Krispy Kreme's very own hand-made muffins! It comes in Chocolate, Apple Streusel and Blueberry flavors! I got the Sausage and Cheese Pull Apart which tastes like a cheese bread with a small piece of sausage and a small swizzle of mayonnaise on top. It somehow reminds me of those Japanese-inspired savory breads that I would get for breakfast. To be honest, I would still go to Krispy Kreme for my favorite Original Glazed Donut but this is a good savory alternative for those who wants a meaty option.

There's still a lot of help needed by the victims of Typhoons Ondoy (and Pepeng). This time, my favorite doughnut store is stepping up by organizing an Ondoy Fund Raising activity tomorrow, October 11, 2009 . It's so easy to participate: Simply purchase an Original Glazed Doughnut (or a box would be great too!) and Krispy Kreme will donate the entire sales generated from this to the Philippine National Red Cross - Rizal Chapter and ABS-CBN Sagip Kapamilya . Let's go spread more sweetness around and most especially to those who needs it the most.

Take a peek at what was delivered to our doorstep last Saturday.... *yum* After the successful team up of America's well-loved doughnut company and every kid's favorite cookie , now comes another exciting creation! This time, Krispy Kreme presents the Snickers Doughnut ! Soft and moist doughnut topped everything that I love in a Snickers bar -- crunchy nuts, sweet chewy caramel, nougat and rich chocolate coating! Snickers has always been my guilty indulgence back in high school. I always grab a bar during finals week to calm my nerves. I'm so happy that Krispy Kreme has made this delicious flavor for Snickers fan all over the country. Be sure to drop by your favorite Krispy Kreme to grab this yummy treat! :)

Who would have thought that America's well-loved doughnut factory, Krispy Kreme , will someday team up with every kid's favorite cookie, Oreo ? Well, they just did! To celebrate Krispy Kreme 's 72nd anniversary, doughnut lovers and chocoholics can now unite and enjoy this yummy crunchy creation! I was lucky enough to receive a box of the new Chocolate Kreme Cakes and I enjoyed biting into the soft cake-like doughnut topped with chocolate creme and sprinkled with crunchy Oreo bits. This is definitely a feel-good sweet treat! There's no news yet if this will be a regular mainstay in the Krispy Kreme menu board or it will just be available for a limited time only but my best advice is to head to your favorite Krispy Kreme store and enjoy this delicious creation NOW! :) *thanks to Krispy Kreme and GMCI for the photo

Guess what surprised me early this evening that simply completed my day... a special gift from one of my favorite bloggers Thank you so much, Franco. It was an honor to be able to write for Table for Three Please and I'd love to do it again..and again...and again :)

My mom is simply the best. Sure, she can be a nagger..and believe me she can be pretty good at it. She will always remind me to take my vitamins, to sleep early, to exercise, to come home before midnight and the list goes on and on and on. She is also not afraid to tell me if I'm doing something wrong and will also be the first to boast of our achievements. Mommy is the best shopping buddy, movie partner and food trip companion. She is someone whom my sister and I would run to when we had a bad day at work or things just didn't turn out the way we would hope it would be. Despite her petite frame, she was the strongest one during our family's darkest moment . I'd like to think that Papa's health has improved so much because of her patience, determination and unconditional love. It's Mother's Day again this Sunday! Once again, my sister and I are thinking of sweet surprises for her. Look what landed on my email inbox just this morning... For our mommy who tre...
