My goodness. They really were not exaggerating when they say the queue can get crazy~ Baby and i finally got down to Donut Factory yesterday to see what all the fuss was about~ I had wanted to wait for this craze (and queue) to subside but no chance of that happening soon~
We started queuing at about 4pm and only got our donuts a little after 5pm~ -_-"
I guess 1 hour's alright compared to some ppl who claimed that they waited for 4,5 hours~ Perhaps the management had done something to improve the situation~
Not easy to come by!

U can smell wafts of buttery fragrance as u near them, in contrast to Vinco whereby the overpowering, pungent smell of grease lingered~
Everyone's limited to 2 dozen coz demand > supply~ They even had to break the queue into 2 coz the snaking queue would have blocked the whole passageway! Hence, there is now a short queue in front of the shop, followed by the passageway for shoppers to walk through and the rest of the queue snaking behind~
Many potential customers would start to queue from the front of the shop as they thought that the queue was short. Little did they know that they had cut into the queue~
Hence it is the unofficial duty of the person in front of these unknowing ppl to inform them that the queue ends behind~ They would then turn behind and SURPRISE! Wahaha~ After these ppl expressed their shock and disbelief, they usually laugh at their own folly and give up queuing~
Kinda fun to watch them actually~ Provided entertainment as we continued our tormenting wait~
Bought 2 dozen! ($11 per dozen) 1 box for each of us! ^_^ It's jux seemed rather dumb if we only buy like 1/2 dozen or something after queueing for so long!
We bought the same flavours; white strawberry hearts, glazed, hazelnut milk chocolate, peanut dark chocolate, orange white chocolate and double chocolate!
Goodness~ Will u jux look at the white chocolate melting off the top of the double chocolate donuts?! *Drool drool drools* Definitely our favourite! The white chocolate topping is laced with a hint of cinnamon and thick warm melted dark chocolate oozed out as i bit into it~ Bliss!
These pretty heart-shaped babies are filled with generous amounts of strawberry jam! Might be too sweet for some though!
Compared to Vinco, Donut Factory's donuts are lighter in texture, bigger in size and have generous toppings/fillings~ A clear winner!
I'll definitely return to try the other flavours (they offer 15 - take a look at their webbie)! Meanwhile, double chocolate, white strawberry heart and orange white chocolate come highly recommended! ^_^
P/S: If u like ur donut toppings all melted and oozing, pop them into the microwave oven for a couple of seconds before gobbling them up! ^_^
