One Avenue (卓悦中心) has long been recognized as a vibrant hub for new and enticing culinary ventures, particularly within Futian's dynamic food scene. Following the footsteps of new concepts such as The Roll’ING, the upscale shopping complex has recently welcomed Bebe Donut from Seoul into the fray.
I stumbled upon Bebe Donut while rushing to Tao Tao Ju (陶陶居) for my late lunch and thought the name rang a bell. But it wasn’t until later that I ran over my old photos from my Korean trip and finally realized what I have just missed.
Bebe Donut is best known for its freshly baked donuts and funky flavors, both of which were on full display this afternoon right in front of my eyes. First, there was the tray of freshly baked pumpkin doughnuts straight from the oven.
And some savory flavors highlighted by this one with shrimp, bell peppers and onion.
But I was eyeing the sweet ones all the way and of course without hesitation, I immediately went behind the long lineup with a copy of their menu in my hand.
The staff was carefully organizing the sweet doughnuts including their popular Mont Blanc, pistachio and blueberry yoghurt flavors.
A few for those of us with a sweet tooth at home.
Pumpkin Mont Blanc (法式蒙布朗栗子粒) (¥13.9) – A seasonal item made with in-season chestnuts. I like this mainly because of the choux pastry which has been flavored with pumpkin subsequently making the chestnut purée a little less sweet.
Full of Blueberry Yoghurt (整粒整粒藍莓酸奶) (¥13.9) – The texture of this was a little more like a baked bun rather than a doughnut and little nugget complained about the centre of blueberry yoghurt. “Isn’t doughnut supposed to be sweet?”, he asked....😂😂
Italian Pistachio Yoghurt (意大利開心果酸奶) (¥13.9) – Similar texture to the previous blueberry yoghurt doughnut but with fillings of pistachio yoghurt. Meh...
I shared the same feeling with my little one that it would have been a little tastier if it was creamy pistachio custard in the middle instead of yoghurt. Yeah, I’m a purist when it comes to doughnuts. 🍩
Would there be a second visit, you ask? Well, it depends on whether they have more new and interesting flavors coming our way!
