Pasalubong: Donuts and Japanese Goodies

J.Co donuts is an Indonesian brand that’s famous in the Philippines, and I was curious to find out why people back home were going crazy over them.

Fortunately, when Hubby arrived last week after a short visit to the Philippines, he brought these
a dozen J.Co donuts!
The next day, 2 Japanese guests arrived. One of them brought this for us to share
And the other guest who frequently visits left a wrapped parcel on my desk.  When my girls opened it later at home, we found these inside
So many yummy goodies in 2 days!

Now if you see me looking plumper than usual, you’ll know why =)

  1. Hello Pam, did you enjoy eating J.Co donuts? Like you, I was forced to get a box of 6 donuts many months ago because I wanted to find out the hype about this brand. The filling is not as sweet as the other brands I have tasted. It's best eaten too when fresh because it has the tendency to be slightly harder when exposed.

    Nice to see you in the BC Bloggers weekly comment exchange! :)

    1. Hi Ida! It was...ok (sorry to disappoint)...pretty much the same as the other brands here. I guess the quality of the ones in Dubai are different than the ones in the Philippines. I did hear that J.Co will be opening a branch here though, so we'll see =)
      See you around! =)

  2. It's wonderful to receive such yummy goodies! J. Co is lighter and less dense than KK donuts, it's also less expensive, I think. It's good pasalubong for the kids. But for me, parang may kulang and the filling is little lang. The names of the donuts are quite interesting, however.

    1. I agree the names are interesting. They're unique and will make you curious and really think which flavour to choose.

  4. The fun part is, I only tasted JCo once! hahaha. And I don't know when I'll taste it again. I'm not so much into donuts but it's true that JCo is so famous now here in PH.

    1. It seems every time a new donut brand starts operations there, it becomes a hit. Pinoys are really into donuts, I guess =)

    1. I agree masarap din sya, but then again the quality of the other donut brands here are different from those in the Philippines. I guess I'll find out the real difference if J.Co opens a branch here =)

  7. Yummy goodies. I love JCo but super layo naman ang branch nila dito sa amin. And I heard about long lines too.
