I think Krispy Kreme doughnuts are very delicious. I can only have one since they are packed with sugar, but they are better than any other doughnut I’ve ever eaten. I would rather get my sugar cravings from a nice order of Cinnabon. ;)

Rick, yes Shinjuku! I think the only opening date that has been announced is “December”.

Rick, coming to HK for “Spring Break”, you sound like a college student or something..oh and they still hang their laundry out the windows despite having no balcony.

Oh, and a balcony comment. I’ll bet that they have no use for balconies cause they wouldn’t want to suck up all that smog? or hang their clothes in it either? Possibly getting all that acid rain on everything?

KRISPY KREME! Gimme gimme gimme!

Mereoner: That makes me sad. I hope it’s only Krispy Kreme AZ that went under if there is such a thing.

Patrick: Thanks for the info! Shinjuku right? Did it have an opening date?? Let’s hope what Mereoner said has nothing to do with the stores here.

Dylan: Pon de rings are good and so are the French cruellers but the rest of their donuts are just Yuck in my opinion.Krispy Kremes are king!

Roy: Doughnut Plant, there’s something about them that I don’t like. Theyre ok but just plain sweet to me. By the way I’ll be in HK for over a week for spring break! It’ll have been over 15 years!

We just had Krispy Kreme open here in Australia, and I thought they were pretty unremarkable. Obviously hype created through many years of seeing the brand featured in American TV shows and movies plays a big part in their initial burst of popularity. I think most people will try them once because of that. But of course we do have other donut shops. Krispy Kreme is just another one. Perhaps if you had never tasted a donut before.. Anyway, give me Mister Donut any day, I love those Pon de Ring ones! We had the same hype when Oreos first came to Australia and then everyone realised they were just a another chocolate biscuit. Same deal with M&Ms too, but Smarties are much more tasty.

PA, the laser show is every night at 8pm for about 15 minutes.

Ben, I’ve been to the sandwich place. Not bad chicken sandwiches.

Patrick, I think the Japanese will like Krispykreme more than Doughnut Plant, which is losing it’s popularity already. But if they are smart KK will change the recipes slightly or promote some of the other types which may appeal to the Japanese more.

Too bad you weren’t too fond of Krispy Kreme after being so excited to try them. :) I just passed the first Japan shop today! It’s still just an “under construction” white wall, but anyway I can confirm that the location is on Southern Terrace, right next to the bridge that crosses over to Takashimaya.

I wasn’t 100% convinced of them either when trying them in HK, but I’m looking forward to getting some here!
Predictions for the Japanese market: small coffees will be small, a dozen of donuts will cost 12 donuts, and there will be crazy queues. I hope to be proved wrong.

KrispyKreme for breakfast? Whoa…Super-sized sugar hit. I was in HK about a month ago, had breakfast a couple of times at Oliver’s Super Sandwiches in the mall next to the Excelsior Hotel. Pretty good for the money I paid. And the coffee wasn’t just burnt coloured water, like it is in a lot of places in HK. Best of all, they had these big lounge-y leather style armchairs out the front you could use…very comfy.
