Spheres of joy
Sugary domes that melt in your mouth with every bite. Fillings so luscious that they ooze out just as you break into them. Yes, that’s right, were talking about our favourite deep-fried treat — stuffed doughnuts. The yummy spheres that delighted our childhood are now coming back in force, lining bakery shelves with delicious flavours perfect for your afternoon snack. And no, we’re not talking about Krispy Kreme. From aromatic flavours to layered mousses, satisfy your cravings with these doughnut hotspots in Singapore.
