Vinco, The (D'oh!)nut Parlour: They shop, we chomp.

A shopping bliss for shoppers, a great food stop for me and girlfriends. Having gone to vivocity a couple of times, we came to a conclusion that since there’s not much shopping for us to do there (Dorothy Perkins, Gap, whatzissname? Fuhgedabouddit.), we decided to make it our destination for good bites with Bianco/Bianca, Ben & his friend Jerry.



Along the row of restaurants and eats, stands a small humble donut parlour tucked neatly between flanking stores, that if you happen to blink for a second, you might just miss it (ok so it’s not that tiny).

Vinco queues are pretty decent compared to rival store Donut Factory, so there’s no need to sport comfy wear and good sturdy shoes to stand the long waiting hours (so i heard) as that at Donut Factory.

Despite the low customer count, the donuts are actually quite good. Unlike the typical dense doughnuts like the ones you get from Dunkin Donuts, Vinco offers rather light and soft, chewy donuts that almost taste, dare I say, healthy! (all the more to gobble down hehe). It came across as really good soft fried (whaddaya expect?) bread with an assortment of toppings slapped on top. Maybe, just maybe, it’s this signature taste that makes Vinco lovers (us included) come back for more.

Especially so when their doughnuts come straight right out of the fry & onto the serving trays, steaming hot.

First impression got us buying Mont Cherie, chocolate delight, Mochiatto (white chocolate mocha), Sweety Cheese & Sweet Sensation (dark chocolate with coconuts shavings).

Chocolate delight was an absolute delight! Hey, anything with chocolate is good enough for me :) Mon cherie tasted like typical bread with jam, mochiatto came off too powerful with the mocha and sweety cheese was a tad too sweet and cheesy for me. Mardiana however swears by it, claiming it as the best taste she’s ever, well.. tasted. I know that because she actually got high while stuffing 2 down. I kid not.

We came back for more, and as you can see one was craving for choc and the other cheese :p gosh. I settled for a different taste this time round, trying my hands on Mighty almond (white choc with duh, almonds). Pretty good, a wise choice for white choc fans.

There’s another doughnut shop within the vicinity but for now, these donuts have captured our hearts (or tummies rather), long enough for us to patron Vinco for a while. Or rather, Bianco as someone puts it :p This ain’t no character from some Spanish novella, sista.
