The flavours
According to Creamier’s co-founder Khoh Wan Chin, the brand is offering doughnuts as it’s “comfort food” like ice cream. There are also plans to launch an all-day brunch concept later this month with savoury dishes at Creamier’s East Coast Road cafe.
Laksa Mai Hum Donut, $5
We are tickled by its name (remember “mee siam mai hum?”), and this hum-less ‘laksa’ doughnut comes with a chunky chicken filling that reminds us more of chicken curry than laksa. But it’s pretty fun to gnaw through the fluffy, slightly crispy fried doughnut to get to the lemak-enough filling (which we could do with more of).
Cinnamon Sugar Donut, $2.90 (8 Days Pick!)
There are lots of funky doughnut flavours on the market these days, but we tend to like the very basic sugared ring doughnut. Creamier’s version is delish — crispy and firm to the bite with a soft pillowy middle and subtly sweet-fragrant hit of cinnamon and sugar. Delightful. We could wolf down two or three of this in one sitting.
Sugar Glazed Donut, $2.90 (8 Days Pick!)
Like the Cinnamon Sugar doughnut, this is just as addictive. The same ring doughnut is dipped in a simple sugar glaze, so it makes for a sweeter-than-usual treat, but still satisfying and charmingly nostalgic.
Peppermint Candy Crush Donut, $4
This dark chocolate glazed doughnut is sprinkled with bits of crushed peppermint candy cane for a minty hit. It’s more interesting than a regular ol’ choc flavour, but we find this too saccharine for adults (the kids will demolish it, though).
S’mores, $4
We find this the prettiest doughnut out of the six flavours. The choc-glazed ring is crowned with torched marshmallow fluff. It’s not as rustic as a classic s’more (which has chocolate and marshmallow sandwiched between graham crackers and toasted), though it makes for a nice cheat day dessert with the airy, whipped cream-like marshmallow.
Sea Salt Gula Melaka Donut, $4 (8 Days Pick!)
Creamier fans may recognise this ice cream flavour at its shops, and it now comes in a doughnut form. The ring doughnut is draped in a caramelly palm sugar glaze spiked with a bit of sea salt and topped with crunchy toasted coconut flakes. We like this moreish sweet-salty combination with a fun crunch.
