Dunkin Donuts

M likes to read and prepare for his classes at cafes. (I think he's got a cognitive map of all the free wifi, decent coffee, and book friendly coffee shops in Seoul.) He's also a huge doughnut lover and so he couldn't resist trying Korean Dunkin Donuts. On one of his trips to DD's he realized that in addition to the "regular" doughnuts, the Korean Dunkin Donuts have "multicultural donuts". In other words there are multi-culti flavors incorporated into the doughnuts. Some are sweet and some are savory and a lot of them are plain old strange.

We decided to taste the savoury lentil curry croquet first. It was actually pretty good. I imagine it was supposed to be from India but it tasted more the like the golden curry puffs we get from our local thai takeout in Bklyn. Next up we decided to be bold and so we ordered the garlic glazed. It was a sweet doughnut filled with garlic that had been cooked down until it turned sweet and then glazed over with sugar. It wasn't as bad as it sounds but it wasn't that great either. There were some other strange combinations like the sweet olive chewisty, the onion and garlic roll, and of course the kimchi croquet. We'll save those for another time.
