cowcow: Well, I think the problem with keeping donuts overnight is that the dough becomes stale.

Mince Pye: Got donuts with fresh cream one? Never seen before.

simpleman: Well, you’re right. Queueing with a book is great. Sometimes I love it when there’s a queue like at the bank or post office and I can just spend the time reading my book. But what about those people who don’t read or play PSP or anything and just stand in line doing nothing for 4 hours?

That lady you met is pretty cool!

Not true that queuing alone is silly. I queued alone every year for the Lim Chee Guan bak kwa - because my mother will only eat that bak kwa. And even after she was gone I continue to queue as it has become a yearly ritual.

It is OK to queue alone as I can read a book - just bring a book that you always wanted to read and never get to finish reading it to the queue.

There was once a lady (stranger) queuing behind me - she brought newspaper/magazines and food and a little mat to sit and she shared the food and the magazines with us and we just engage in silly conversation for a couple of hours.

And this year I didnt have to queue as someone was selling queue nos.

I won’t queue for donuts unless it is requested by someone I love.

Donuts with fresh cream or cream products may not keep very well.

HKQs were crazy, weren’t they? Those were really scary queues. Donut queues? Pffft, child’s play! Heh.

Good thing I got my HK pair via coupon. ;)

QY> oops my bad. pak jiao nv see properly.
eh, from what I’ve tried, I kept donuts for 1 whole day…
As in say get the donuts ard 5pm, keep until next day ard 9pm.
Technically speaking, with that much sweet stuff on them, they’re pretty much preserved in a way.
But best not to keep long cos u dunno whether the donuts still taste nice anot.

& oh, best if can heat up oso. =)

Huh? When did I say I bought Donut Factory? I only talk about wanting to queue, haven’t actually done it. I’ve never tasted Donut Factory before leh.

Well, I think if I queue for upwards of 2 hours, I’m going to buy 2 dozen. Haha. Then I’ll have to throw a donut party and invite people or I won’t be able to finish it, lol.

By the way, how long can the donuts keep before they don’t taste good anymore?

QY> no problem…
i’ll be in sch for the next 5 weeks with the same schedule, so no issues. =)
[otherwise why u think i always so free go queue donuts?]

anyway just curious. how many donuts u bought this time @ donut factory?
cos my fren & i we were laughing at their ’set meal’ package of 2 donuts & 1 drink, since it’ll be NUTS to queue for 2+++++++ hrs and then order so little.
