Do nut go there

This past Saturday we did go to a new donut place in town called the Donut Hut. Actually contrary to my catchy title, it wasn't that bad. The donuts were pretty sweet and a little small, the owner or manager said that they bought their donut machine from the same supplier that supplies the machines for Krispy Kreme, not sure if that is a good thing or bad thing. We got 6 donuts in a range of different flavors - chocolate covered, one with chocolate and nuts, regular, one with chocolate rice crispies (by far the best), Oreo, one with strawberry filling and icing, all of which were decent, but nothing was so spectacular that we would go out of our way to go back. Our strawberry donut came with a bug in the icing, but I am not one of those people that gets mad (they did have their doors open for a grand opening type of thing so it is excusable in this case), I tried to discreetly bring it to the managers attention and she gave us two more donuts at no extra charge.

Anyway, when new places open up that bring western products to China, we are always reminded that the food here will never be like the food back home, a subtle letdown each time.
