Conned.

I was coaxed conned into visiting JCO Donuts at Raffles City Shopping Centre last week. It was the first, and most likely, the last too. All thanks to smart aleck Jim who suggested we give JCO a shot seeing how it’s new and pretty crowded. Typical Singaporean Mindset. New & Crowded = Good. WRONG! 

“You should give it a chance, maybe it’s better than Donut Factory?”

MY FOOT!!

To begin with, there weren’t even enough standing space when we stepped into the very teeny weeny place. When we finally found seats for two, it was so cramped we couldn’t get our feets in properly (whatever. maybe i have dinosaur feet.) And to think the sofas were supposed to be comfy, so you can “make yourselves at home”! No they were absolutely not, since I was so uncomfortable cramped up like that. I kinda understood how sardines felt when they were stuffed into cans. 

To make it worse, I felt I was being gawked like monkeys in the zoo or clowns at the circus by the people queueing.

On the other hand, I had my fair share of “observing” too. It was very fascinating watching the counter staff from my seat. They were so disorganised it was actually quite a sight. The flow was so messy, Jim had to repeat his orders numerous times to a few staffs. And we merely ordered three donuts and two drinks.

Did I mention their staple product, i.e D-O-N-U-T, SUCKS BIG TIME?

 

It was horrid! It’s definitely not worth the fat piling! Definitely not worth my swimming 20 laps under the hot sun! Definitely not worth cracking my brain cells thinking how else to work off the calories! Definitely not worth wasting time regretting how I shouldn’t have eaten the eeky carbs!

The yucky cream filling was OMGsoffreakingdisgusting and the drink so schwweeet I think I’ll contract diabetes if I did finish it!

SAY NO TO JCO DONUTS! EVER!
