Just don't get it from T&T bakery, their cakes are horrible now for some reason. Used to be decent.

Yan Bakery on East Hastings. Go in person. Friendly owners. Ask for Helen (owner.) Top notch HK style cakes. Bring cash. Don't insult your family.

I tried rinsing the doughnut in water but i wanted to throw up after eating that soggy mess. | Yo that's hilarious, I legit was searching a week ago if Krispy Kreme made a less icing covered version of their glazed donut
They don't, but wtf that's funny | |

They don't, but wtf that's funny | its true though. that shit is sweet as all hell and gonna put me in a diabetic coma. So i was successfully able to use a butter knife and scrape off some of the glaze and it taste SO MUCH BETTER.
I hear stories that if you go when they have that "hot doughnut" sign on, you can ask for doughnuts that arent glazed. then you just go home and add some jam or whatever to it yourself. MUST TRY NEXT TIME.
p.s. i still self failed myself for it. kinda lame  | |

So much so that we'd buy one from time to time to eat it without needing to be a birthday or anything like that.

Also, I think they can do a durian sponge cake too.

Haha yeah I haven't had a hard doughnut before.
Go try the sourdoughnut at luckys. Best doughnut I've ever had. Glazed, but not too heavy and has the sourdough tang. Fluffy as a cloud.

Just kidding. Similar to Mikoyan. Got our wedding cake there. I wasn't a believer of everyone saying the cake there is good. I'm a believer now.

I'm a believer now. | just FYI, that was the 7/11 that we used to sneak a peak porno mags at back in the days. Also that bakery's been around (wasnt called yan's, but same location) since i was a kid. 
I havent tried this new bakery, but when i go visit me ole mum, ill go buy a cake from there and try it. Quote:
