Brassica Doughnuts EmSphere (Bangkok, THAILAND) ★★★☆☆

We have just one more place to visit before our highly anticipated late-afternoon tea at Le Café LV. EmSphere is one of the newest shopping, dining and entertainment hub in Bangkok and for someone who hasn’t visited the city for 6 years, it would be impossible not to include it in my agenda.

EmSphere is known for its wide variety of restaurants and cafés with more than a dozen of interesting F&B brands in the premise. And Brassica Doughnuts headlines the list (at least for me) after they made a name for themselves with this funky fried chicken doughnut sandwich.

Little nugget wanted to check out some doughnut shops here too but I told him "no Krispy Kreme please! Let's do it in Osaka.". 🍩😏

There will be no fried chicken doughnut sandwich for us this afternoon after we took a deep dive into Brassica's doughnut menu.
 

What they do offer is a series of tasty homemade doughnuts including their “Brûlée” and cheesecake collection (think burnt cheesecake, strawberry cheesecake etc.).
 

Since I had a similar type of Basque cheesecake doughnut at Donut Stand Arashiyama back in Kyoto a few months ago, I decided to try one of their crème brûlée doughnuts instead.

 
Kaya brûlée doughnut (฿120) – By brûlée doughnuts, they were obviously referring to adding a caramelized crust to the soft and pillowy fried dough. Almost like the caramel glaze on a crème brûlée.

 
After the slight torch on the doughnut, they diligently injected the kaya custard into the middle.

 
I thought this was quite decent. The generous portion of kaya custard was a pretty good start; and there was the nice contrasting temperature between the warm fried dough and cold custard cream. Not bad.

I don't think I will have any savory food tonight to be honest cuz I am already looking forward to the lovely pastries with the famous Louis Vuitton Monogram.
