Mamahaling Donat.

Mister Patatas
Dalawang malambot na donat at isang basong kape.

Dalawang malambot na donat at isang basong kape.

This is not a complaint.

But really, 185 bucks for two doughnuts and one paper cup of coffee? Really? Really. 185 bucks for a breakfast I could finish in about 10 minutes, with a not-so-special coffee brew, with overly-sweet doughts? Really? Really.

But “what the fish” indeed, backtracking several weeks ago when S.P.I.T. was asked, “What is the essence of a doughnut?” I reiterate the shoot-back one of the comedians had to say: “Bakit may butas sa gitna ang doughnut?” (Para senswal siguro, hindi kaya?) But why am I writing my way out of the topic at hand?

Overpriced doughnuts? Really? No, not much so: these are special doughnuts! They have been scientifically proven to increase your energy for several minutes after eating them! Why? Because they’re Krispy Kreme doughnuts and doughnuts like that are sweet to the last bit! Oh sweetness.

Nope, I didn’t finish my doughnuts in ten minutes as I promised. After all, they’re kind of on the expensive side so I tried to value every bite according to the size of the bite (halimbawa: kakagat ako, at base sa laki ng nabawas sa doughnut, malalaman ko kung tatlo, apat, o limang piso ang halaga ng kagat na iyon; repeat). I count slow.

Cheapo.
