($4) I almost forgot to post donut from this shop and then good thing that I decided to buy donut since passby area once again so its quite quiet during weekday afternoon. But previously I didn't have any chance to do so I promised myself if I passby the area and just popped by the area. So the matcha cream just quite sweet taste and not enough bitter tbh and then matcha crumble was quite crunchy to chew thru. Overall I felt that it's quite oily aftertaste.
got strong nutty taste but I felt that it's quite mild taste between nutty and sweet.
got strong coffee taste but I felt that it's quite mild taste between bitter and sweet.
The dough coated with matcha sauce as christmas tree with kit kat as bottom. But the matcha sauce and kit kat was quite milky and sweet. I thought that it's gimmicky and seasonal donut during festival period lol.
I felt that its really oily after leaving donut for one day ($4.00). My opinions for fusion flavour - Pistachio > Matcha really not that bad but pistachio glazed with matcha sauce. Matcha sauce is slightly milky tbh as pistachio got strong nutty taste.
Finally tried their hojicha bombolinis ($4.20) at kitchener road when scrolling away during covid period. Hojicha filling was quite milky, not much roasted tea taste and thick texture. They did put icing sugar on the top of the bombolinis and felt that it's quite sweet tbh.
Filled with generous amount of Horlicks cream.and topped with Horlicks powder
Full of richness in every bite
Box of 6 for $19.90(From May 2nd onwards)
Previously $16.90
Very generous amount of "Cream"
Bombolinis style donuts are very trendy now. And it tastes as good as they look.
1) Pistachio Ganache - my favourite, Cream was thick, sweet and tasted like Pistachio ice cream that I had in Italy.
2)Donutella - Basically filled with Nutella, seriously can't go wrong with this combi.
3) Crème Brulee- much like the dessert, it is filled with rich custard Cream and the exterior of the donut glazed with burnt caramelised sugar(different from the other Bombolinis)
Overall, very satisfied. Will return again even after this recent price increase, basically 50cents increase per donut.
Probably one of the more affordable donuts and bombolinis around with an assorted box of 6 priced at $16.90. Depending on the flavour, it can come in either a donut or a bombolini. It is indeed true that the donuts and bombolinis here come across as greasy, and instead of the usual fluffiness that I was expecting, the texture resembled closer to a bread bun. Personally I enjoyed the pistachio ganache which many reviews raved about, filling was extremely rich and carried the roasted nutty notes really well. Expectedly the peanut butter jam was really sweet, Milo Oreo crunch and donutella were the usual chocolate based for chocolate lovers while the honey vanilla cream was contrastingly subtle. Definitely for sharing with a bunch to avoid the jelakness.
My first time trying bombolinis!
Oreo 🍪
Pistachio 🥜
Chocolate 🍫
Nutella 🌰
Lotus biscuit 🍪
PB&J 🥜
I admittedly don't have much to compare with but these seemed to have a very generous amount of filling in them. I managed to try the lotus biscuit and the pistachio, which were both thick and rich. You could even taste the gritty pistachios they ground down. However, others who tried it all agreed that the excessive powdered sugar tipped the bombolinis into saccharine territory. They were also quite greasy and the dough wasn't as chewy as what I'd expect from a doughnut.
These are considerably cheaper than the popular burnt ends ones (5 for $20) but given the neighborhood location (whampoa) the shop is located, these pastries could be considered on the pricier end.
Doughnut Shack is one of those hype food places that sure has its fans and critics. I belong to the latter category. While the price for bombolonis is fairly affordable, it’s nothing but hype. Before going into the details, I gotta say that each and every dough contains enough oil to fill an oil tanker. Some of the fillings are good but you can’t expect me to like anything else if the exterior is just so greasy.
Most of us who shared the doughnuts enjoyed the nutty pistachio cream doughnuts. I personally enjoyed the peanut butter and jelly filling with the generous amount of peanut butter and the sweet, fruity strawberry jam.
The others that I tried were either too sweet or not memorable. I didn’t get to try all the flavours that’s shown here.
A box of 2 is $6. If you want a box of 6, that will be $16.90. And a box of 20 is $56.
I’m not sure if people are still queuing hours for it. I hope not.
Went to Doughnut Shack at Whampoa on a Sunday afternoon. Drove there but took awhile to find the place as it’s a little deep in & we were trying the find the way in. Honestly not very accessible for people to go.
There were a few people queuing in front of me outside of the shop as the shop only let one person (or one grp) in at one time. Waited for at least 20mins in the heat before I could enter the shop.
Bought all flavours of bombolinis to try because I’ve never tried bombolinis before. The more you buy, the cheaper it is, so we bought 10. Each costs $2.80 so we paid $28.
Flavours bought:
• Creme bulee 7/10
• Banofee Cream 7.5/10
• Donutello 8/10
• Azuki Kinako Cream 7/10
• Pistachio 8/10
• Dulce De Leche Cheesecake 7.5/10
• Peanut butter jelly 7.5/10
• Strawberry milk ganache 8/10
• Summer berries chocolate donut 8/10
The flavoured fillings were a lot inside but the dough of the donut wasn’t very tender, like when you bite into it, it’s not very soft and chewy, it’s a little hard. Perhaps I’ve tried better doughnuts such as Krispy Kreme’s and am comparing to their donuts which are really soft and chewy. Definitely prefer Krispy Kreme’s donuts given that it’s the same price. I will not go back to buy it, for the taste & for queuing in the heat.
I ordered from top : Nutella, Pistachio , peanut butter and lemon curd.
The Doughnut texture soft, slighlty chewy and very generous of filling (quite sweet).
💰$2.80 per pcs (according price box of 20 pcs).
free delivery if purchase above $120.

Disappointed overall - texture of the donuts were not fluffy and soft enough, and the fillings were passable. Still decent I suppose, but there are much better ones from other stores.
Definitely not worth the queue - preorder it online if you want to try.
The only one I would recommend is the pistachio filling!
Got the donutella which was nutella and chocolate cream stuffed in the doughnut. Also had the speculoos flavour which had speculoos-flavoured cream cheese with cookie butter and the blueberry cream cheese which had blueberry-flavored cream cheese with some blueberry jam. There was also peanut butter and jam flavour which was unique! All the donuts texture were good as they were fluffy and fresh even though we got it at 4+pm towards the end. The different flavours were also all good! Recommended to preorder before going down as queues will be long.
I’ve eaten my fair share of doughnuts and honestly don’t really get the hype. The dough of the doughnuts is more chewy and dense (not light and soft as I prefer) and I found it very oily. To me, it’s ok if it’s just oil on my fingers but I could taste the reminiscent lingering flavor of oil in every bite. Even with the pistachio donut (which is very rich in texture and flavor) I could still taste the oil. Perhaps the dough’s batch was not good that day (potentially under proven due to the dense-ish dough) so the dough absorbed more oil in the process but I wouldn’t come back here again for doughnuts
I preordered online to avoid the queue. Some of my friends have said that the wait can be up to 2h on a bad day. I got them at 6 for $16.90, that’s about $2.80 each! This is significantly cheaper than P&P.
• Crème Brulee: The custard was of the right sweetness. Do note that the torched crust is bitter, and not for everyone. The filling for this was the most generous of all the donuts I got.
• Maple Cinammon: This reminds me of auntie anne’s! The filling tasted like whipped cream to me.
• Blueberry Cheesecake: The filling was ~80% blueberry flavoured whipped cream paired with 20% blueberry jams like those old school bread. Couldn’t really taste the cheese.
• Donutella: Just the usual nutella.
• Raspberry Jam: The jam was a perfect balance between the berry’s sweetness and tanginess.
• Pistachio: The filling is really thick, nutty and fragrant. It will definitely hit the spot for pistachio lovers.
The bread is more of the chewy type, in my opinion.
💸: $2.50
💬: Slathered with a thick layer of chocolate which then made it possible for the oreo crumbles and milo powder to stick, this one was an utter mess to eat - best rest assured, it's definitely one worth the mess
💸: $2.50
💬: I love me a good creme brulee, and doughnuts are my biggest soft spot, but this I didn't enjoy that much.
The torched crust was bitter, and that affected every chew and bite afterwards. Furthermore, the custard wasn't smooth, so 🥲 i'm leaving this one out of my selection the next time I'm there
