I have always been intrigued by Chinese donuts especially the shape which is so irregular and rough just like a massive truffle.
The Western ones are round and have an even surface which come in the form of ring donuts or the round ones which are filled in the centre or covered in icing or chocolate.
Although I have always wanted to try it, the size of it was big and if it didn’t taste nice then it would be a waste, especially when Chinese cakes are not really my cup of tea.
But anyway, someone happened to buy a box of them and could not finish them off.
The good thing was that they were already sliced in half.
I was surprised to see that it was very airy inside not like the western donuts.
The donut exterior was just like a normal donut, but the inside was incredible soft and the dough was extremely moist!
At first I thought the dampness of the dough was the frying oil, but it was not.
It is a pity that I do not have a picture of the donut intact before it was sliced.
The donut looks big but when you bite into it, it is actually like a sponge and compresses. The donut exterior was chewier than the western type.
Overall I still prefer the western donut, but the inside of the Chinese donut is nice in the sense that it is moist and similar to fresh airy bread.
However it has that Chinese frying oil smell.
As for the egg tart, it had that extremely strong buttery smell, and it crumbled and collapsed when I ate it.
